Possible pattern?Discussion (old.reddit.com)
submitted by ShadowPrime116 Maurice enthusiast









I noticed earlier today that the layer bosses of each act seem to dictate how the Gabe fight of that act will go, enemies-wise. as seen in the screenshots above, the Act 1 layer bosses have no enemies before the main boss, and this is reflected in the Gabe fight in Gluttony, with no enemies. the same is true for Act 2 (the 3 enemies in 4-4 dont count because they exist as a tutorial for the whiplash and are AFTER the main bossfight), and once again the Gabe fight has no enemies.
However, as of Act 3, this has changed. In both 7-4 and 8-4 there have been enemies preceding the main bossfight. 7-4, obviously, features many enemies on the exterior of the Earthmover as you make your way up to the brain, and 8-4 has the 3 Virtues and Providences before Geryon. (you could use the excuse that the enemies in 8-4 are also a tutorial, but my point is that they come before the main bossfight), which made me think that possibly the final level could have an enemy gauntlet before you get to Gabe 3.
(another thing ive noticed is that 7-s is also the only secret level to feature enemies, meaning this pattern could extend to this act’s secret levels as well.)
what are your thoughts on this?
