I really cannot get past the first boss, Takamoto. What am I missing...climb up top, duck or jump the green fog, shoot the B*st*rd, right? I keep shooting and shooting and I only get him half way done before I die. And that's with me being fully healthy and having 3 first aid kits. I just suck, right? Go 'head I can take it...any hints?

bump for old thread. weird.

to kill him it's simple. just climb up one of the poles behind the statues to get to the landing he's on above. from there. use the statues to block the energy or waves he shoots at you. stand behind them. meanwhile keep firing at him when you get the chance.
