Name: Rimblemenji HP: Calinca: 3200 (B), 4096 (A), 4480 (S) Elysium: 3584 (B), 4480 (A), 5120 (S) Affiliation: Reaverbot | |
Overview
Rimblemenji is the gelatinous guardian of Calinca's ice-themed ruins. He is first seen in the room before you reach the key, although he is practically harmless at this point. You can actually knock him out here, although it doesn't help you in the ensuing fight. Once you grab the key, however, he reacts, and becomes a rather potent threat. You've taken the treasure of the ruins, and he's not ready to let you leave with it.
His appearance is pretty creepy, being that of a gelatinous blob with a robotic head inside. It's somewhat reminiscent of the 'Devil'-type bosses seen in the other Megaman platformers.
Strategy
Movelist
Constant Chase
When not doing any other particular attack, Rimblemenji will just follow you around the arena in a semi-creepy fashion. He is vulnerable, so shooting him at this time is a given. If he gets too close for comfort, move away from him. Keeping your distance is a must.
Jelly Splash
While you are being chased, Rimblemenji will move to the center of the room. He will make his body extremely tall and thin, and then he will collapse and spread his body a rather wide distance from the center of the room (sort of like a pancake). Once you see the warning signs, head towards a nearby wall to ensure safety.
Back-end Blitz
Should you choose (unwisely, I might add) to hang out near one of the doors, Mr. Blob will obviously follow you. His head will turn around, and rapid mini blob-shots will be launched at you in a zig-zag fashion. Being that you are in a tight space, you won't have much room to avoid them. Just stay away from the doors and this shouldn't be a problem at all.
Arctic Assault
Some time into your battle, some green platforms will appear, and Rimblemenji will head for the middle of the room. Do as Roll suggests and make a break for one of the corners of the room, where you can jump on one of the platforms. Make you way to the second layer of platforms that wrap-around the room. The boss will jump, coating the floor in ice.
The floor below you is coated with the icy status effect, so touching at this point is a no-no. Mr. Blob will raise his head ot your level, and begin firing rather large blobs at you as you run around the platform. There are 2 ways of handling this; one leans toward defense, and one leads toward offense:
- The first method (and my preferred one) is to run around firing at him while he tries to hit you with the blobs. This is where I see a lot of people mess up at. The shots WILL catch up to you, so the best thing to do is start running in the opposite direction, as it will make it even harder for you to be hit. Note that if you are hit, you may potentially fall onto the icy floor. Watch that Padded Helmet!
- The safer (and more boring) method is to wait on the lower platform while he shoots at you. You can't hit him, but he can't hit you either.
The platforms will eventually fall away, and the floor will be returned to it's normal state.
Constant Chase v2 (Only available at 25% HP or lower)
Once his health gets low, he'll start glowing and chase you VERY QUICKLY! You may even want to break out the skates to avoid him. After a little running, he will tire out and collapse, leaving him wide open for you to finish him off. If you don't kill him this time around, he'll re-do the move. Rinse and repeat until he's finished.
Good Weapons to Use
Homing Missile
This is a great all-around weapon for this fight. The ability to use this while moving makes it so useful here, as it allows you to avoid his constant movement while you stage your own offense.
Hyper Shell
If you can handle the slow firing, this isn't too shabby either. It does a rather nice chunk of damage to the boss, and has very nice range. The only drawback is the show firing time, while could backfire on you if you're not careful.
Bad Weapons to Use
Blade Arm
If you use this, you're either very brave, or very ignorant. He can be hit with it, but you'll more than likely be hit yourself. Use at your own risk.
Synopsis
Rimblemenji has some interesting tricks up his sleeve. However, with patience and skill, he can be taken down with relative ease. Rimblemenji rates an 8.5/10 from me. He's a pretty cool boss (sorry!) with some very interesting techniques.

This boss was by far the creepiest thing in Mega Man Legends 2, hands down. I didn't even want to go back and try to beat it again the first time it killed me. XD

He was a pretty innovative boss idea on Capcom's part, I'd say. Definitely creepy, though, especially the cold eyes.
If I remember correctly, there were some anti-ice shoes in MML2, right? That would be good in a fight against him.

I liked the music during the fight. Other than that he was a different boss than the rest of them and I give him an 8/10.

I actually got pleasant shivers when I fought this boss. There'd already been a 'Shadow Devil' incarnation in every game of the series before so I eagerly awaited a confrontation in this series.
I cant' say I was disappointed, though they could have thrown in a little shape shifting to spicen things up.

I thought this was probably the best boss in the entire game. Sera's final form was just cheap as all get out, and the second fight against the three jellyfish was the most difficult part in the whole game. Rimblemenji difficulty was just right, and was one of the most satisfying bosses to defeat.

Am I the only one reminded of "Ballroom Blitz"? Anyway, this is my favorite non-robot master boss in ANY Mega Man game. Just everything, the difficulty, the design, the rockin' backin' track, just everything about this guy is perfect.

This was an awesome boss. I love how it was calm when you went in, but a devil when you try to get out. Very appropriate design and difficulty for the guardian of the final key. I took forever trying to beat this guy the first time I played MML2 thanks to the blobs and icy floor of "Arctic Assault". (I love your namings of the attacks btw Buster Cannon.) It wasn't until recently when I played RockMan DASH 2 on my PSP did I figure out the safe defensive tactic of that attack. I slapped myself on the head seeing how easy it was to avoid the blobs in Arctic Assault just by staying on the lower platforms.
I absolutely love the battle theme for the Rimblemenji. It's right under Geetz's battle theme.

Rimblemenji is by far my favorite boss on MML2, the fact that it's a bizarre reaverbot suspended in a gelatinous substance, and an extremely difficult one too if you're in hard mode makes him a kickass boss.

Just a side note, why is it that almost every video game series has some large ball of gel for an enemy? - MML2: Rimblemenji
- Advance Wars Dual Strike: Oozium
- Kirby 64: Those blue liquid enemies on Neo or Ripple Star
- Sonic Adventure: Chaos
But Yes, Rimblemenji tops them all. When I was younger I spent long periods of time searching for pictures of it (calling it Megaman Legends 2 Fourth Ruin boss, I didnt know it as Rimblemenji)

Nope, Chaos owns Rimblemenji.
Sing it with me: "Open up your heart, it'll be ALRIGHT!!!"

I also found this boss to be creepy. Reminds me alot of the Yello Devil from the Classic games. When I first encountered this thing, I wondered what that strange colourful blob was (which was before I got hold of the key).
I agree that it's a fun challenge. One had to use your wits than firepower.

Looks like you have two Sonic fans (I count too), at least until sonic heroes (epic fail twas it from that point on ) now I need to listen to Open your heart, its just so awesome *realizes I got burnt out for years just a week or two ago* Er ,never mind... Rimblemenji still is better (Perfect Chaos was a joke of a boss, I went through the hassle of Big's story for nothing )
