meh

- Dispatching fake Grooves by hitting real one is a good suggestion, I should do that.

- Pushback is potentially the most unfair thing in this fight, maybe I should just nerf it, if you can cheese an early hit, so be it.

- Conductor don't make clones, so his strength is that some of his attacks are just completely safe for no reason, I might want to consider some ways to communicate that better.

couple warnings i had after attempting no hit on it, which i think could make it more consistancy and less RNG base for no damage run.

- Hitting real dj always should dispatch hes clones.

- Range of pushback when they brandish knife is just too much if Dj going for triple buzzsaw atack and conductor jumps in you are just sent flying sometimes out of bounds.

-Also why when conductor drops 5 disco balls he is totaly safe on that atack but when he drops just one you can hit him no problem?

Woah, nicely done!

Yeah, they're very pushy aren't they? So rude!

Why they keep pushing me around?
I mean they screaming "ah ha! Check this out!" Like 3 times in a row and push me really hard

No, keep it as it is. This mod is trial and error, I like that.

Huh, I see, I assume you're talking about his clones? I'll keep that in mind.

The DJ Grooves time part is the most random unfair ♥♥♥♥ I've played

OH GOD NOT THEM AGAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN

Thats was a terrible conductor mimic

I got a score to settle with this ere' peck neck, thanks lassie for creatin' this ere' mod.

No problem

Dang, thank you for letting me know.

the death wish crashed in the middle of the fight

Thank you

the original composer for sleeping terror is Zun

Infinite knife attack is a known bug for a long time but usually it's a rare occurrence, did you try to hit one of the directors before they begin the knife attack?

Regardless, that'll be something on my list of things to fix. Thanks for playing the mod.

I wish i could lave a good review on this mod. But well the death wish mode is impossible and i dont mean it like it's super difficult, I saying that the death wish is bugged for me. Let me explain the bug, So when DJ grooves used the knife attack on his own that when the bug occurs and what happens is that the knife attack will keep going forever. So yeah that's why i dont like this mod. But i do like the non death wish version.

Thank you so much!

Who is peck neck who created this mod?! Why am I asking? Well, to give him the award for the Award 42, of course!

I rarely post comments (because I'm often lazy) but when I do, it's because the level really amazed me, impressed me or many other positive things! I already loved the original fight hugely, but you made it sublime like no one ever did. Constant stress, intense rhythm and very varied phases, and we have a fight of remarkable difficulty but with a feeling of accomplishment when we emerge victorious. (Thanks DJ Grooves for making me raise my blood pressure with his surprise parade and his most annoying bomb)

Really, congratulations on this mind-boggling level of quality, Darling.

I've included links in the mod description to exactly where I've found the music used.

In the mod you used a sped up version of the Railroad Wrath and She Came From Outer Space remixes, where can I find those? I've been looking for them everywhere to no avail

I've done a small update to fix the director getting knocked out when they go out of bounds issue. Though I can't replicate this issue on my end so this is more a shot in the dark. Hopefully that helps.

I've included a link to every music track I used not from Hat in Time. The music you're looking for is probably in there.

Where does the music for this come from? did you post it anywhere?

Bit busy on another mod at the moment, but I'll take a look at fixing this issue after that. But I'm glad you enjoyed the mod regardless.

I agree with "I´m tired". I played your mod yesterday and I got the same problem as him/her. Overall this bossfight is amazing and I also tried the deathwish. I like this either and it is also very challenging. Very good job on that Mr. DaveFrost1024 :3

But, if you have some time, can you fix that issue please? :O

Hmm, that probably means the directors have clipped through the floor in one of their attacks. I might want to update the mod to add some fail safe measures, especially since there've been people telling me that's an issue in the past. Thanks for letting me know.

I adore this mod! I have ran into some problems at the 2nd part of the fight (after the little break) at the part where it calms down a bit, DJ Grooves would be throwing sawblades but he would be in his knocked out form (when you defeat him) and you can't hit him. I've also encountered The Conductor going into the floor after attacking while he is in his knocked out form during the calm part after the break. Otherwise this mod is amazing!

Yeah if you happen to hit the real Grooves a lot that can be a real issue, plus sometimes Groove don't spawn clones which can also leave you helpless.
If I push for an update next time I will try to add some fix to stop you from getting killed simply due to bad luck.

Love this fight! The chaos! The hype! THE STORM OF KNIVES!!! It's hard as can be, yeah, and very random. Also, as the last guy said, only the clones spawn clocks, making you think, which one is a clone and which is real? Do I need time now? Or do I need to damage Grooves? But honestly, a great challenge for this game! Well, done!

One issue: Once grooves starts spawning clones, killing those clones becomes the only way to refill the clock. If you get "lucky" and hit the actual grooves a lot? You'll be stuck with a low timer during the final phase.

the death wish is so awesome lol and chaotic well done :)

It's not like it happened the next time I tried. The first time i got to that moment (which was the only time that happened) and the battle was still working. I have no idea if the fight would finish, because i still died.

@ DeadlysonPL Hmm... sorry for the late reply, usually the fight should end anyway, but if not, you could try throwing a potion at the grooves on stage, if you're lucky the potion will hit him.

A lot of the issues reported rarely happens on my end, which makes fixing them quite tricky, that and I'm lazy. But if I can narrow the cause I'll work on fixing it.

I remember the first time i got to the final moments of DJ Grooves one of his copies got stuck and tried to stab me (the attack conductor usually jumps if you jump) while still being on the stage. The original grooves was already dead, and he just stood there.

It happens randomly after you talked to the conductor. In the first stage and sometimes he stays alive and the after like 3 cycles he dies again. I didnt try restarting the stage I will test it soon and let you know.

Sounds like a mod breaking bug, the loud sound is probably Grooves falling off the level and dying offstage. Does it happen at a specific point of the battle? Does it occur if you exit and replay the level?

I had a bug in which I heared a really loud noise and then DJ Grooves spawned faceplanted in the ground while still attacking but being invincible. I tried dying multiple times but the bug kept occurring.

Other bosses? Revenge of a Mustache maybe? Both the DW and the level have revenge in it's name, so it would be good to put it here as well. Also, chapter 666: Revenge of Life.

Ah, the mod isn't meant to be a chapter, I'm just bad at making mods haha. I'm pretty interested in trying to have my own take on some of the other bosses in Hat in Time, might come back to Conductor/Grooves if I come up with something creative.

So since this has its own chapter, do you plan to do more of these? I would totally be down for more takes on Conductor/Grooves boss fights, and your attacks are pretty creative!

Great, someone put a video of this deathwish on steam, and now i need to retry it.
#facepalm

this was fun, i came in this from death wish stuff though so it took me like 2 attempts outstandingly without any knowledge of what would go on in this. but i can see where the difficulty is.

@DeadlysonPL: I did not intend to make you angry, sorry about that. I personally enjoyed the 1 directory bonus, but maybe it's just me. I might change the bonus in the future if I realize another bonus is more fun or more interesting or more sensible. (Don't hold your breath though, I'm lazy)

@Dr. Impossible: How did you encounter the error? Does restarting the level help? The mod definitely have issues, I'll try my best to fix it if I can replicate it.

I know it took me a long time to answer, but I was just angry. The only times when i DID USE the time stop were my FAILED runs. The run which I DID FINISH I USED ICE HAT TANKING (once). Just so you know I did think about your solution. IDK but I think no hat abbilities would be better than the only bonus i complained about.

i had a problem where i knocked out the conductor but then he became immortal stuck in a laying down animation while attacking
