10 Genius Ways To Beat Video Game Bosses You Totally Missed

Super Metroid really is the bees' b*llocks, a fact highlighted by the super-smart, beyond-the-box alternative solution to killing resident bastard Draygon deep in the heart of Maridia.

The crustacean terror can be a complete trial, floating around his claustrophobic chamber erratically, all the while supported by a quartet of evil cannons constantly shooting at the beleaguered Samus. But those cannons are the key to this sneaky shortcut: if Samus destroys them, she can subsequently latch her grappling beam onto the sparking wreckage whilst in in the grip of Draygon's talons. Her power suit acts as conduit, electrocuting the crabby rotter and killing it in a single hit. Bet that came as a shock.

He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
