Form 1:
Weapons of choice: Power bombs, normal light beam, super missiles
1) As soon as the fight begins, morph.
2) When the tentacles get near you(ideal is when swatting or spinning) use a powerbomb to instantly destroy 80% to all of the tentacles.
3) Unmorph and finish off any remaining tentacles with single shots of light beam or missiles.
4) Begin charging your power beam as the core unfolds.
5) Using careful timing, fire a super missile into the unshielded gap of the core.
6) Carefully strafing to avoid being hit by the red laser, continue to fire super missiles into the core.
It takes 4 super missiles to the core to destroy form 1. If you are fast, this can be done in the first round. If you can't squeeze 4 in, repeat steps 1 through 6 until its dead.
Form 2:
Weapons of choice: power bombs, regular bombs
1) Immediately spider onto the cocoon and look for yellowish orange tentacles coming out of golden triangular "spots" on the body.
2) When a tentacle exposes itself(black smoke will bubble out prior to one exposing itself) use a powerbomb to instantly destroy it.
Ideally you can take out 2 or 3 tentacles per power bomb. If you run out, switch to normal bombs and use those. Be careful of the inglet puddles clinging to the body as well. Those can be destroyed via normal/power bombs.
Form 3:
Weapons of choice: Annihilator, regular missiles
1) Form 3 has 4 different forms of attack
- Laser barrage(strafe to avoid)
- Dark Energy Freeze(strafe to avoid)
- Shockwave Jump(dash jump to avoid then space jump the shockwave)
- Charge attack(morph and boost under his feet)
2) Form 3 has 3 different colored "mouthes". These cycle regularly.
- Red mouth: use regular missiles to force this to the other mouth colors.
- White/Light mouth: damage with regular annihilator beam shots
- Purple/Dark mouth: damage with regular annihilator beam shots
3) You can only hit the mouth when it is open(he randomly will close it), thus a good seeking weapon does ideal damage for the speed. In this case it is the annihilator and regular missiles.
4) If form 3 charges you and you boost under to avoid it, you will have a brief window of opportunity to lock on and fire the appropriate weapon for the mouth color into a small "hole" in his backside. Yes I know what you are thinking, but it is correct...you can indeed shoot him up the arse. It gives you a chance to deal some extra damage.
5) Should you run out of light/dark ammo, emperor ing will sometimes make what looks like a cloud of "fireflies" when you damage him with another weapon/beam. If you shoot this cloud, it wil spew out about 40 to 60 light and dark ammo. Letting you resupply quickly and switch back to annihilator.
6) Also worth noting: you can only damage his "life bar" when he is in light/dark mouth mode. This is why missiles are best during orange mouth because they seek very well and can quickly force him to another mouth color.
faster way to kill form 1

Super Missiles doesnt make that much damage as the Sonic Boom does. If you can evade his laser you can easily kill him in 1 round. The Sonic Boom makes a bit more damage and you can shoot it faster then Super Missiles
Additional way to kill form 3

The easiest and fastest way to kill the final form of the emperor ing
1) Make sure you have at least 150-250 both light and dark beam ammo
2)Lock on to the emperor ing and rapidly fire the annilator beam at him, no matter what color his mouth is, after the first few shots with the beam his body will start flashing yellow with each shot, and then it will take serious damage. All you have to do is fire the annihilator beam as fast as you can at him, and his health will just drop.
