Amorphous+ Complete Guide

STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOE’S MOUTH

Your adversaries are cunning and relentless. They surround you, acting with the coordination of a directive hive-mind. They will shred you with teeth, dissolve you with acid, impale you with spikes, freeze you, burn you, crush you, devour you. They evolve and grow, mutating into terrible aberrations with overwhelming powers. They are filled with goo. They enjoy jazz. If you fail to annihilate them, surely they will multiply and smother the Earth. They are... AMORPHOUS.

–Excerpt from Jayisgames Review.

So you want to know how to beat Amorphous? Well, with this kind of game, it isn’t something I can lay on the line for you. All I can give you is strategy, and an overview of your enemies the best I can.

LIST OF ENEMIES

Gooples: Appears on every nest. They can merge with another Green Goople to form an Oozle. Killed with one hit.

Oozles: Is formed by two Green Gooples. It can merge with a Green Goople to form a Grey. Aims for you, and is killed in three hits.

Stickies: Appears on every nest. Cannot merge. Does not aim for you, and is killed in one hit. When killed, sprays yellow ooze that sticks to you for approximately 10 seconds and makes you slower.

Biters: Appears on every nest. It can merge with another biter to form a Horror. Aims for you and jumps at you, and is killed in one hit. It cannot attack when it is covered in Stickie goo.

Melties: Appears on every nest. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit. When killed, sprays orange acid that kills most creatures, including you.

Clutters: Appears on every nest. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and shoots baby clutters, but does not get near you and cannot kill you, and is killed in one hit. When killed, its babies are set free, and they quickly turn into adults if not taken care of.

Inkies: Appears on Big Nest onwards. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit. It is highly flammable. If touched by the player, it explodes and turns him or her blind for approximately 5 seconds. If their goo is touched, the creature will walk in a straight line for a short period of time.


Fuzzles: Appears on Big Nest onwards. It cannot merge. Aims for you and jumps, and is killed in one hit after shaving of hair in two hits. Acid shaves it completely, and Stickie goo does not impede it from attacking.

Sharps: Appears on Big Nest onwards. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit. Is covered in retractable spikes which make it immune to any hazards including Grinders, but it does not use them when it feels safe.

Frosties: Appears on Huge nest. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit, though it is not recommended because it freezes you. If the player manages to get frozen, spinning will free him or her.

Torchies: Appears on Huge nest. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit, though it is not recommended to try while on fire since it explodes. It is put out by Stickie goo, acid, or being frozen. It will explode if it crashes with an Inkie.

Grays: Is formed by an Oozle and a Green Goople. It can merge with a Green Goople to form a Void Eater. Aims for you, and is killed in three hits when vulnerable. It is only vulnerable during the few seconds when it is in the process of shooting a spike. Can harden to be immune to sword attacks, acid, Grinders, etc…

Amalgams: Appears on every nest, though only when the quantity of gooples is around 100 or less. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and amount of hits to kill depends on size. It can absorb other Gooples, making it one sword hit bigger, and can separate in two occasions: upon growing too big, or upon being damaged. If it wanders out of boundaries, it still stays in the game and comes back in.

Grinders: Appears on Big Nest onwards. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in five hits when vulnerable. It can only be damaged if it crashes with another Grinder, if it rolls over acid or if it crashes against a hardened Grey, though there may be other methods. Cannot be killed by acid, and is immune to Stickie goo and Inkie goo.

Horrors: Is formed by two Biters. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit when vulnerable. Can shoot spikes, which upon touching certain small Gooples turns them into Biters, and can send out small razors. When these are used, it becomes vulnerable. Is immune to acid, Stickie goo, etc., but not Grinders, Void Eaters, etc..

Void Eaters: Is formed by a Grey and a Green Goople. It cannot merge. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit. It has three attacks: it can shrink and pull all creatures towards itself then kill them with a shockwave; it can simply make a shockwave when the player is near, and it can charge and shoot a beam which attracts all creatures and kills them. Since it is normally inapproachable due to shockwaves, the best time to kill it would be when charging or while shooting the beam. It is unknown if it immune to acid or Stickie goo.

Queens: Appears on any nest. Aims for you, and is killed in one hit. Attacks by swinging one of its blades at you, and is easier to attack when this is dodged. It leaves behind small larvae that enter other Gooples and turn into Queens when she is killed.

Razor Queen: Appears at the end of any nest. Aims for you, is killed in five hits. Attacks in different ways: swings its blades at you, jams its blades into the ground and shoots spikes and spiked balls, lunges and swipes at you, swings its tail, throws little spiked Gooples on the floor who shoot spikes if you get too close, throws larva on the ground that burrow and jump at you. The only moment when she is most open to attack is when she lunges at the player. Also, if she is killed using no rewards, the player is given a key to the lock for a more powerful sword.

You can weaken a grinder with the grenade, exploding torche and your reactive suit exploding.
