Espyo | Defeating Axle Gear (Level 5 boss) easily - Rocket Knight Adventures @srb2Espyo | Uploaded September 2011 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
When I was young, defeating Axle Gear was a challenge. Even on the easiest difficulty setting. He packs quite a punch, and it was a hellish experience when I tried on harder difficulties. Yet, I never quite tried to develop a strategy back then.
This is a simple strategy to win against him. I suppose it's not hard to come up with, but maybe it'll be of help.
Basically, just get close to him. When he swings his arm, go back, and when he misses, get close to him again and attack. The ending lag of his missed attack should give you enough time to punch him.
