Andddd you're right. This is the first time I ever tried fighting Gollux on a character that wasn't Zero, and dear God. Is he usually this insanely powerful? I can get to the shoulders, but then they suddenly kill me with some sort of unavoidable fire attack. As for movement, those vines on the floor during the fight with the torso are kind of annoying but don't seem too big a deal, and at least the crystals give a huge warning when they're going to attack. But I can't even GET to Gollux head. The shoulders just keep killing me over and over again. Maybe I'm just missing something because I've only ever fought Gollux on Zero, but it feels like he's some sort of impossible super boss. I can dodge his attacks some of the time, but there's times I swear I flash jumped away from the black mist but still take damage and get stunned. And your 9999 mdef doesn't mean anything against something that always hits for half your HP.

Edit: I also noticed the 150 hyper that makes you invincible for 20 seconds doesn't actually work on Gollux. He just hits through it.

After the first time the shoulders go untouchable and summon a bunch of monsters, kill the monsters quickly and then use the portal to go to the upper arm, because it always uses the insta kill attack after it summons the monsters and you can dodge it entirely by moving to another map. I think it might use it again a bit later, but I usually kill it before it does it again.
