!bjBear45’s Gigaman 7 Boss FAQ!
Hi, I’m bjBear45, and thanks for taking the time to look at my Boss FAQ for Gigaman 7! GM7 is by far the hardest so far in the Gigaman series, you’ll definitely be needing my help to defeat the eight Android Leaders and Dr. Crazy this time around! Rumour has it series creator Keiji Waitano took inspiration from events in his own life to create Gigaman 7’s stages and boss designs. Anyway, without any further ado, let’s get to the bosses!
———————————————————–
Stage: Car Dealership
Boss: MID-LIFE CRISIS MAN
Item gained: Harley-Davidson
Mid-Life Crisis Man should be the first boss you take on. Dodge his wads of misspent cash, and be careful to avoid his long hair sweep and newly-purchased sports car rush. He’s only vulnerable when he pauses to sigh at his reflection in the mirror, which he does fairly often.
———————————————————–
Stage: Company Christmas Party
Boss: DRUNK MAN
Item gained: Whiskey bottle
Dodge Drunk Man’s spewing streams of vomit, and be especially wary of his flaming sambuca shots. When he loses about 1/2 of his health, he’ll start making drunken passes at Gigaman. If one of these connects, it’s game over! Use your newly acquired Harley-Davidson to zoom around the Christmas party and make Drunk Man dizzy, when he falls over in a stupor he’ll fall easily to Gigaman’s G-Buster.
———————————————————–
Stage: Filthy Motel Room
Boss: PHILANDERING MAN
Item gained: Lipstick Stains
Philandering Man’s STD Shot is deadly, especially in the cramped arena of the motel room. Camping at the top right corner will help you avoid his nonstop stream of pickup lines. This would be a near-impossible battle, but using your Whiskey Bottle on Philandering Man makes the fight a joke! Laugh at his embarrassed apologies, then light him up!
———————————————————–
Stage: Game Night
Boss: WIFE MAN
Item gained: Pre-Nuptial Agreement
At the beginning of the fight, Gigaman will be an enraged state, and fire his G-Buster constantly. Be warned, any damage to Wife Man at this point in the battle will result in an instant Game Over. Drive Wife Man over the edge by using the Lipstick Stains (while avoiding her Incessant Nagging), which will make her storm off, ending the fight. Remember to grab the Pre-Nuptial Agreement hidden in the desk drawer, it’s easy to miss!
EDIT: Dark_Raven172 says: “For bonus points, use the Innappropriate Quip (obtained from the hidden alcove in Philandering Man’s stage) on the other guests after Wife Man leaves!” Thanks Dark_Raven172!

Stage: Marriage Counselor’s Office
Boss: TRIAL SEPARATION MAN / DIVORCE MAN
Item gained: Kids on Weekends (Trial Separation Man), The House (Divorce Man)
At the outset of this fight, you might be wondering what game you’re playing! Trial Separation Man can’t really hurt you, even his pitiful Empty Threat Beam barely does any damage to Gigaman. Defeat him, and you obtain Kids on Weekends! This is perhaps the most powerful weapon in the game, but *SPOILER* you won’t keep it for long! *SPOILER*
Proceed through the rest of the stage, until you reach the Courtroom. What’s this? Trial Separation Man is back, and he morphs into Divorce Man! Now, this is by far the hardest fight in the game, so don’t say bjBear45 didn’t warn you! Divorce Man’s packing enormous firepower, so we’ll break down his attacks:
1) Severing Laser: This brutal attack splits the arena in half, Gigaman will only be safe if he takes refuge behind the Lawyer at the left side of the screen.
2) Legal Nonsense: This is INSANE. This attack is utterly inescapable, and does MASSIVE damage. The best you can hope for is to come out still standing (be sure to use any Energy Crystals you may have on hand!). When this attack ends, you’ll have a very small window to fire the Pre-Nuptial Agreement, doing moderate damage to Divorce Man.
3) Scathing Closing Arguments: Watch for Divorce Man to flash purple, the only indicator you’ll have that this attack is coming up. When the attack begins, fire Kids on Weekends, which will take out 3/4 of Divorce Man’s health!
Phew! Congratulations, you just beat the most painful boss fight of the entire game! Too bad you’ve lost Kids on Weekends, but at least you’ll never have to do that again! *SPOILER* You will have to do this again. *SPOILER*
———————————————————–
Stage: Front Lawn of Your House
Boss: WIFE’S NEW BOYFRIEND RAY MAN
Item gained: Ray’s Sexy Legal-Age Daughter
Gigaman returns home, only to find a new adversary waiting for him, using his barbecue! Wife’s New Boyfriend Ray Man is tough, but after Divorce Man, nothing can stand in your way! Dodge his flaming burgers and hotdog wieners, and keep using your right to the house you got from the last level, and eventually you’ll whittle him down to quarter health. At this point, he’ll start using his Piece of His Mind attack, easily countered with more blasts from the G-Buster.
———————————————————–
Stage: Kids’ Baseball Game
Boss: EX-WIFE MAN
Item gained: Kids on Weekends (!)
Right off the bat, Ex-Wife Man will use the Awkward Atmosphere attack, making all Gigaman’s attacks do half damage! You’re not gonna get anywhere using your regular old G-Buster, so bust out Ray’s Sexy Legal-Age Daughter, and have her do the fighting for you! You’ll have to step in every now and then, but Ex-Wife Man’s main Disgust attack won’t damage the Daughter at all. With Ex-Wife Man defeated, it’s time to travel to Dr. Crazy’s Castle, to end it once and for all!
———————————————————–
Stage: Dr. Crazy’s Castle
Boss: DR. CRAZY
Item gained: n/a
Well, you’re finally here. With the Kids on Weekends in tow, you shouldn’t have too much trouble defeating Dr. Crazy! Any questions? Please contact me at bjntehbear4ever@gmail.com!
