Really fucking hard fight (ignore the fact that I got this in 13 minutes). This is RC2 of Poogers, so this is the hardest version of this fight. In RC3, this fight is heavily nerfed (some revs removed, green armor at the start iirc). This run is also proof that Dubzzz allows you to make mistakes, as I eat quite a lot of missiles and even a full zap.
So much to keep track of in this fight. First, the archvile. In order not to take his full zap damage, you have to hug the wall he's on. You can use sound to somewhat track where he is, but it's fairly difficult considering everything else shooting at you. Having 32 sound channels helps with this. The most effective strategy to find the archvile is to quickly snap your mouse to a wall, or what I like to call the "KB shuffle". While hugging the wall, all the hellknights and revenants will be shooting at you, so you have to dodge those at the same time. Moving forward or backward while hugging the wall can break a few projectiles but isn't 100% effective. Dodging revenant missiles and hellknight fireballs is easy as long as you prioritize the homing missiles.
All of this shit with only 200 health to start and 1 megasphere. However, if you have the opportunity, you can run past the hellknights and grab yourself a 2nd megasphere. It also ensures victory. Running past the hellknights can be a bit of a struggle, as you have to camp on one side of the wall, which the archvile can easily negate. This is why I sit on a wall for basically the entire fight. Thankfully, you can wallrun (it works for both sides) when pushing through. Save at least 20 health and armor because otherwise the damaging floor will kill you. Admittedly, I did get fairly lucky with this attempt as I managed to run past at 430 kills. I usually push through at around 450. This also isn't the cleanest run as I had to go around a 2nd time because the hellknights were overwhelming me on the other side.
4th time I've beaten this fight.
