I still don't have sections 4.5- 4.8 . Simply because I still didn't beat them(last time I did, it was about 6 years ago). I'm gonna play a lot today and then I will submit all the bosses, or at least that cocky little Chief... /\/|2 - Introduction|/\/\ This guide is made to teach everyone how to beat all the bosses in Sunset Riders easily. I really like this game, and something inside me made me do this guide. I hope I will be able to manage doing it. This is my first guide, and I hope you like it. /\/|3 - Controls of the Game|\/\ The controls of this game are simple. A - Slide to dodge bullets B - Jump X - Uhh..Nothing Y - Shoot L - Nothing R - Nothing There are two power-ups that can make the game easier : Silver Star - Gives you an extra gun. If you already have 2 guns, it will give you $2,000. Gold Star - Makes your bullets purple. It makes you shoot a lot quicker(at a faster rate), and you will shoot more bullets at the same time. If you already have upgraded bullets, it will give you $2,000. To shoot diagonally, just use the arrows in the game pad. /\/|4 - Boss Guide|\/\ And now, to the real thing! The thing you've been waiting for! The Boss Guide! All the strategies revealed! This is how the section is coded : /\/|xx - |\/\ difficulty How to beat him : (Single Player) Text : Last Words : /\/|4.1 - Stage One : Simon Greedwell|\/\ 5/10 _______________ | | | | | * | S | * | |____|__bb_|____| | | | | S - Simon(Boss) | | b - Barrel | | * - 2 enemies clustered |_a_____c____x__| together How to Beat Him : When you start, stand in place A and shoot the 2 enemies above you. Now shoot the enemies above spot X and go to spot C. Shoot the 2 barrels until more enemies appear at the corners. Move to spot X and shoot the 4 of them. From there(spot X), shoot the barrels until at least one of them falls(keep dodging the bullets). By now, the enemies re-appeared, so kill them. Go to spot A and shoot the barrel(s). Now move to spot C and shoot the Boss. He will start glowing until he falls down. One down - 7 to go(that doesn't sound good, does it?) Text : "It's Time to Pay" Last Words : "Bury me with my Money"(yeah, right) /\/|4.2 - Stage Two : HawkEye Hank Hatfield|\/\ 6/10 ______________ | | | * H * | | C C C C | | | | | * - 2 enemies clustered | | together | A B X | C - Crate |______________| H - HawkEye(Boss) How to Beat Him : HawkEye's bullets(and the enemies') move a lot faster than the last Boss, so you'll have to jump a lot to dodge them. First shoot the 4 cowboys from spot A. Now wait for them to re-appear, and kill them again. Keep killing them(and avoiding the Boss) until they don't re-appear. Now you can start shooting the boss. Wait for him to expose himself, and shoot away. When he is glowing really fast, he will jump down near you. Shoot him about 7 times and he will die. If you shot him fast enough, he will die before he's able to shoot. Two down - 6 to go. Text : "Draw Pilgrim!" Last Words : "You Got Me" /\/|4.3 – Stage Three : Dark Horse|\/\ 5/10 ______________ | | | * * * | |_A____B____C__| | | | | | | | | * - 2 enemies clustered |_X____Y____Z__| together. How to Beat Him : The Boss will show up at spot Z. Immediately from the start, jump up to spot A. Kill the 6 enemies, and kill the 3 or 4 upcoming waves of enemies. After you see that the enemies don't re- appear, crouch and shoot Dark Horse. When he fires, just move a little bit to dodge them. After about 15 shots, the Boss' horse will get his dead body out of there. Text : "You in Heap Big Trouble!" Last Words : "Me in Heap Big Trouble!" /\/|4.4 – Stage Four : The Smith Brothers|\/\ 7.5/10 ______________ | | ! | | | S | ! | S | |___| ! |___| | X | | ===== | ! - Chain | | S – Smith Brother | | = - Big lamp |__A____B____C_| How to Beat Them : Finally, a semi-hard Boss! From the start, go to spot B and rescue the lady there. Now shoot the two enemies in spot X(I was too lazy to mark them on the map). Position yourself in spot A and shoot the Smith brother above your head(the one on the LEFT!). When they throw bombs at you, try to dodge them and keep shooting the left Smith brother. When you dies, go to spot B and jump to hang from the lamp(don't get on it, jump hang there). Shoot the remaining Smith brother and he won't be able to hit you(guaranteed). When he dies, put the controller on the floor, and watch the cool dance. Text : "We're Gonna Blow You Away!"
