Tenkan Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 It's definitely a fun game, but I'm too much of a noob to finish it in one go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can't figure out how to defeat Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I can't figure out how to defeat Discord. Really...you just have to mash the Attack button whenever you're near him.There's no real strategy. He blocks like crazy and is hard to hit without mashing the Attack button. ESPECIALLY when you're Applejack.Essentially...you just have to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK when you're near Discord. You can touch him, you just can't get hit by his fireball attack. That's the only way he can damage you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Yeah, that's the thing. I keep attacking (did for all villains), but I can't figure out how to dodge the fire balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApocalyptiCchaos Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Pretty enjoyable game I must say, retro feel of 8-bit is what I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep attacking (did for all villains), but I can't figure out how to dodge the fire balls.Best advice I can give is to stock up on extra lives once you face Discord. If you keep up that strategy, you'll be good.If you need actually strategic advice, then I can recommend striking him with an Attack, then dashing away and dodging the fireballs. It'll take longer, but it does the trick the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you keep up that strategy, you'll be good.If you need actually strategic advice, then I can recommend striking him with an Attack, then dashing away and dodging the fireballs. It'll take longer, but it does the trick the same.You're supposed to avoid his fireballs and then damage him while he jumps over you(Preferably before he lands, although his hitbox is still there for a few frames even when he does). Repeat until you win.Attacking him repeatedly before that will never work - he constantly blocks until he gets close enough to fire at you.It's a lot like the Iron Will boss fight actually - he also blocks constantly until he tries to attack you. The difference is that Discord has a much more difficult attack to avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoth Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 ^That about sums it up. It's alot easier to hurt Discord when he's in the air. I gotta say, it's hardest to beat the game with Applejack. Her Attack is not only inconvenient (You need to ACTUALLY FACE BACKWARDS for it to work properly), but it's also a short range attack. I suggest SERIOUSLY stocking-up lives with Applejack. You'll need them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need them...Agreed. The ranged attacks were way safer, but the kick and the stare were super powerful comparatively. Fluttershy seemeed to be the easiest, but I also did her last so I'm not sure if it was easiest just due to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kunio18 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 on beating discord you just have to shoot him when he jumps and lands because he doesnt block for like the first few seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motion Paradox Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Discord, Gilda, Iron Will and, I think, the Dragon can't hurt you if you touch them, only with their attacks, for those who are wonderingAs for the clouds, I presume they all have the cloud walking spell in effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
