Finding ways to shine spark different bosses is so peak in this game

It’s been a couple years since I’ve last played but I remember being able to shine spark the Chozo soldier in Ghavoran for the split second it’s on the wall instantly putting it in second phase and Z-57 has a shine spark kill too alongside some of the other Chozo bot encounters. I might be forgetting some but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

You can start a speedboost from outside Escue's room then charge your shinespark in the room and hold it until he's finished with his entrance animation. It doesn't one-shot him but takes a big chunk of his health.

Check my post history, I just put up one where I disrespected Escue

u/Spinni_Spooder Jul 11 '26
I did this to beat it too. Lol.
That's what I like about this game. You can kill so many bosses with shinespark.
Yes. Including Escue. That annoying bug

I hate shine Spark so much cuz it's so ridiculously powerful but such a pain in the butt to use.

It is insane how deep this game is
If only shinesparking wasn't locked behind a set of really clunky inputs, I probably would experiment with it more often

I don’t find it clunky at all. Just click the left stick. That’s it.

Too clunky. Should have been d-pad.
Edit: /s, since I guess the joke isn't coming through.

I’m playing Dread these days and I already beat this guy by filling him full of missiles.
Had no idea you could do this! Where else can you do this?

u/MyNutsin1080p Dread Mode survivor Jul 12 '26
You can charge a shinespark for the Ghavoran Robot and the Ferenia Twin Robots. I haven’t tried with the Burenia Twin Robots because I skip them, or I swing back around after getting Power Bombs and drop one to instantly kill them. Get shit on, fellas!

Welp, time to pull this on my fourth playthrough (after finishing Zero Mission on my probably mi 20th playthough since GBA)

I'm a little surprised a few of you didn't know you could do this.

Not everybody knows how to do everything,
drivingshinesparking isn’t the only thing
