Dead as Disco Guide | How to Defeat Arora

Dead as Disco is a rhythm game and, like any game, facing the toughest challenges will take preparation, patience, and strategy. If you're playing a boss whose beat is different than usual, just reacting will not be enough.

This guide will take you through the necessary gears, point-farming and level secrets to outlast the big game showdown for a high score.

Story Item Locations

In order to be able to fully understand the background of the band, 3 items must be collected from different levels. Prophet's mission must be completed to discover the Bonsai Tree that Arora gave to Prophet. Run along until you reach the office room with purple trees and look in the top left corner.

Inside of Hemlock's level is the Business World Issue magazine. Go to the second section clost to the train tracks, and check out the short wall under the standing characters. The magazine can be found on the left side of this barrier. The Rori Photo is located in Arora's personal level. Move on until you come to the abyss of the doll graveyard, a pink and red area, in which there are grey dolls without features. At the far end of this space, view to the right to see a crouching doll with an arm outstretched. Picture should be upside down.

Enemy Types and Crowd Control

There are multiple enemies that you'll come across on the stage, such as Grunts, Baton Security Guards and Shield Security Guards. You should focus on shooting Stardoll Snipers, and Fallen Dolls will attempt to smash you in small groups. Always remove Stardoll Snipers first.

If you have to manage these groups, the best way is to maximize the Windmill Kick in your tree before beginning. For use, press attack until Charlie blinks blue, turn directional controls full circle and release attack. You can even press this button during cutscenes or countdowns, then Charlie strikes when you regain control. Avoid striking a Shield Security Guard from the front. Rather, target a nearby lesser opponent and strike him from a sharp angle to directly breach his defense by breaking his shield.

You need to select the best weapons in the games

The choice of equipment alters the way in which you can win this battle. The strategies in tposegaming.com recommend the right upgrades of the tools. Combat heavy attacks and make perfect parries with Prophet's Gauntlets. Hemlock's Guitar gives you the ability to finish off tough enemies with a charged attack and close finishing attack. When fully-extended they are completely safe from damage and should be the first tools to work on. If you're just using to kill basic enemies as fast as possible and want to keep your combo meter rolling, you can use Charlie's Sticks, or if you're just trying to score the highest at the end, you can switch to Electric Guitars.

Defeating the Boss

This battle is set to the music, Rhythm Divine. Arora is a South Korean Goddess, fashionably known as a pop star. She has been a member of the band and Charlie still calls her Rori. Charlie refuses to recognize her as a god and the fight starts in three different sections. The first half of her movements comes with a delay. When you see the "button prompt," you have to push the button within about 0.5 seconds. Press it right now, and you'll suffer damage.

In the second section, she leaps away and throws space rocks for you to dodge, which can kill you outright. There are three ways to deal with this. While wearing Prophet's Gauntlets, stand still and time your block to knock her back, making her bounce away. Alternatively, you can swing Charlie's Sticks at the rock to knock it down in the air, then wait for the rock to touch down before running towards it. You can also move sideways to evade the landing area and slide into the area for an attack.

At the end of it, you battle her as a human. Use the Showstopper ability in Prophet's Gauntlets to bust her guards. Well-timed block, then uppercut will leave her dazed. Additionally, you can use a Bass Invader strike from Hemlock's Guitar to deflate a charged Showstopper, dealing a significant amount of health. Once she attacks you from a close range, block the final attack and quickly take her down before she runs away.

Scoring Five Stars

You must get 60,000 points in order to qualify for a 5-star rating, and the sooner the faster the higher amount. The best time to accumulate points is during the rock tossing part. You are not allowed to destroy Arora in this phase, you should just let the phase last longer and collect points from the incoming projectiles. Once you get to the pool area, use combination of the Bass Invader from Hemlock's Guitar with a singularity to remove the entire area. This combination generates a huge point boost which can carry you over the necessary score.
