When a player enters the room Meg and Byte immediately move around the room and Meg&Bytes Phase one begins. Meg&Byte only have one attack during the first phase. For Meg it will shoot out three mines towards your direction. These mines will explode if they hit a wall. For Byte it will shoot out a fast, large bullet, which reloads after a bullet is shot. The trajectory of the bullet is outlined by a large red line. The red line will disappear when the bullet is shot. Each time after Meg&Byte attack they will move quickly to another place of the room. Once one of them dies the remaining boss will stop and move towards the center of the room and their second phase begins.

The second phase of Meg&Byte only occurs to one boss.In this phase the remaining Boss only has one attack, but it acts as their final attack, and it is extremely bullet-heavy. If you kill off Meg and only Byte remains it will go towards the middle of the room and the large bullet will become a barrel to shoot out bullets. Another barrel will also appear from the other side of byte as well. After a few seconds, Byte will shoot out two smaller bytes on opposite sides of the room. They also. function like Byte, having two barrels on opposite sides of it, that shoot out bullets. The Bytes will then begin to move counter-clockwise while shooting out bullets. The smaller Bytes shoot out regular-sized bullets while Byte shoots out larger bullets. You must kill the smaller Before Byte can take damage. If Byte is killed and Meg remains it will lose its arms and its exterior will change. It will then move towards the middle of the room and it will shoot out a wave of bullets all around the room, leaving a small margins to evade bullets. After that it will shoot out eight mines. It does this twice a couple seconds apart. It will redo this cycle of attacks if Meg isn't already killed.

## Strategy

Meg&Byte attacks mainly consist of mine and fast bullet-heavy attacks. This means prioritizing movement, dashing, and positioning is crucial for taking down Meg&Byte. One tip for beating Meg&Byte is trying to kill off Meg first. This is because its mine attack is almost impossible to get through without losing a heart, and Byte's second phase it a lot less chaotic. You can accomplish this easily by being closer to Meg and staying as far away from Byte so that its bullet is less of a problem. When going against Byte's second phase start by staying near Byte so that when it shoots out the smaller Bytes you immediately start shooting at one of them. In order to reach the other smaller Byte you need to look for intersections between bullets and dash across them so that you don't Jeopardize getting hit. Once you kill the smaller stay close to Byte move around it counter-clockwise while shooting at it until it is killed. Remember to keep on moving around it or else the trail of bullets behind you will reach you.
