Once you finish him off, he says, 'If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me!' After he says this, Fox will scream and the screen will go white, but then his father tells him never to give up. If you fly into him, he will downgrade your arwing the same way he would have if you got into his mouth. If he teleports, simply do a U-Turn, and he's right there. Occasionally when you shoot him, he will teleport. The connections between the eyes and the brain can damage you.Īfter destroying his eyes, you simply have to destroy his brain. If you don't have any bombs or this technique doesn't work, you'll have to shoot them separately. If you somersault immediately upon entering all-range mode, you can throw a bomb just as the eyes are being released to destroy both of them. In order to damage the brain, you must destroy the eyes. When you defeat Andross' first form, you will have to defeat his brain form in all-range mode. When you take that path, you should obtain 2 Laser Upgrades, a Smart Bomb, and three gold rings, everything you need to destroy Andross.

There are many different paths you can take when entering, but the optimal path is LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT. After you finish off the Star Wolf team, you will descend into the volcano to reach Andross, activating a hidden checkpoint. Their ships cannot be damaged with tracking lasers or bombs. The game will then be over since the CPU will fly you back out.īefore facing Andross when coming from the hard path, you have to face Star Wolf. Otherwise, just keep shooting it until it too blows up. If you've got Hyper Lasers, this will destroy the mechanical monkey head before it can attack you. If you came from Bolse, keep shooting the eyes even when they start to blow up. Andross is invulnerable while he is chewing. Shoot constantly when he spits the rocks to prevent them from damaging you. He will then chew the rocks for a few seconds and spit them out.

To prevent this, fly into a corner and barrel roll until he stops sucking. If you run into Andross, you will join the rocks, lose a wing, and return to single lasers. He will snatch at you and suck a bunch of rocks into his mouth. If you take too long destroying his hands or destroy the left one, Andross will use a new attack. The laser will track you slowly, so fly to the top of the screen. Then simply shoot his eyes to destroy him.Īndross will initially attack by firing a pink laser from his left forefinger. When he finishes rubbing, simply repeat the process until both hands are destroyed. Take this opportunity to shoot at his hands as much as possible. In his first form, simply shoot at his eyes constantly until he goes to rub one of them. There is one universal technique that works for both routes when defeating Andross. Grab all three Gold Rings, both Laser Upgrades, and the bomb. Once you've defeated this boss, the tunnel will end and you'll fly a volcano. You will also have to avoid the arms swatting at you from the sides. Beams will emerge from the walls of the tunnel, so you will have to avoid them. Shoot all of his armor (legs, arms, body, and head), then shoot him some more. You will now have to enter a tunnel and face a robot boss. You probably need its shield refilling effects if you had trouble with the obstacle field. The checkpoint is located at the end of the field. All paths still lead to the same spot: two sets of horizontally rotating beams to avoid. Some paths have obstacles to dodge and some have more enemies. After shooting as many of those as possible, you will have to fly through a valley, choosing between the left and right paths a couple of times. You will be greeted by swarms of enemies. When taking the easy route, you actually experience the whole level of Venom, with the inclusion of one boss before Andross. If you come in from Area 6, you will have to destroy his first form and then his brain. When you face Andross at this difficulty, you simply need to destroy him once, then destroy the second mechanical monkey head. There are two different ways you can come about him, the first being coming from the easy path ( Bolse). The biggest threat here is Andross, and despite being the final boss, he is actually very easy if you know exactly what to do. Venom, the final planet of the Lylat system.
