How to Beat Francois?

  • Getting in contact with the flames will result in major health damage.

  • Now moving on to the boss in question, Francois is a giant robot who launches dangerous explosive bombs at you constantly.

  • These bombs explode into smaller bombs upon initial impact, making them immensely potent.

  • As a result, you will have to constantly remain on your toes to avoid these tricky bombs launched by Francois. You’ll also have to note that Francois will launch these bombs throughout the battle, meaning the only way to stop the barrage is by eliminating him.

  • When he isn’t shooting terrifying bombs, Francois will try to crush you with his bulky metal body.

  • Just like the bombs, you will have to constantly avoid getting trampled upon by Francois.

  • You will have the opportunity to shoot at Francois every time he recovers from a fall.

  • Upon inflicting enough damage, Francois will release a set of small robots to attack you. These robots are Francois’ trump cards in battle.

  • While the robots released by Francois may be small in size, they can inflict damage on you if you aren’t alert enough.

  • It is thus best to eliminate these robots as quickly as you can. You can use Mr.Fungi to distract these mini-enemies

  • Once you’ve dealt with the pesky little robots, your job gets much easier.

  • Without the robots, Francois will be out of tricks. He will now only have to rely on the weapons he already has. You can use the Blast Pistol to maximize damage.
