Hey, Joeshmocoolstuff here. Welcome to the Enraged Klaus speedrun.
Before we begin, I should explain some of the details and background of this run.
Normally Klaus is accompanied by two gem deer who essentially act as his ranged fire and ice attacks.
In this form, Klaus isn't too difficult.
But if even one of the gem deer is removed from Klaus' immediate vicinity
Then he'll enter an enraged form where every one of his attributes are multiplied by a factor of 2.7
His physical size is increased. His health goes from 10,000 to 27,439.
His defense increases to the point that Wilson would need to take 1600 swings with a dark sword in order to kill him.
He can pounce damn well across the entirety of the screen, dishing out three hits in quick succession.
Each dealing 103 points of unarmored damage.
Not that I would want to use the same strat twice, because, ya know, that's boring
But he screams often enough to perpetually disorient pig and bunnymen, rendering them useless.
The first phase of the fight is a pain because I have to kill both of the gem deer without doing any damage to Klaus.
Or much to myself for that matter.
I want Klaus at his full health when he transforms.
But that's not such an easy task given that each gem deer has 1,500 health, which is just 1/2 the health of Bearger if you add the deer together.
The wiki is currently wrong about a lot of the information about Klaus and the deer by the way.
The 2nd phase, when he enrages, is even more of a pain because I have to whittle down his 27,000 units of health when he has a 2.7 modifier to his armor.
So even a fully mighty Wolfgang with a fresh hambat is only going to do around 45 points of damage per strike.
This makes for a very, very long 2nd phase where I have to perform precise actions, one after the other, for minutes at a time.
This sounds a little wimpy, but it actually does tire your arm out pretty good.
And then, finally when your arm is all tuckered out, you begin the 3rd phase, the most difficult of them all, when he starts pouncing across the screen.
In this phase he starts off with 13,720 health. So it's still very long and tedious.
I'd say this fight is probably the most difficult I've faced so far. It really is quite a doozy. So I hope you all enjoy!
