Fay Soff is a boss from Stretch Panic and one of Linda's twelve sisters. She can be fought after the first batch of sisters are defeated; it costs two points to initially enter her arena.
Appearance[]
Fay Soff is a humanoid female with an enormous head. She has tan skin with red lips, a blue nose, pink and yellow pierced ears and red, blue, white and yellow multicolored eyes. Her green hair is tied into a top knot. She has a purple and yellow torso and legs with a lighter yellow domed shape rear with a purple cat face on it. Her arms are long and ribbon like with orange and lime green stripes. When her facial features are removed her face turns bright red.
Manual Description[]
More than any other sister, Fay was obsessed with her facial features: Her nose, her eyes, her mouth, her ears. She always paid special attention to each. Now her face is gigantic and her features have a life of their own! If her facial features could somehow be rearranged on her head into a Picasso style random configuration, the embarrassment would surely lower her defense!
Strategy[]
Fay Soff's offense come from her facial features, each having a different attack: her eyes shoot lasers, her nose releases toxic gas, her mouth breathes fire, and her ears shoot poisonous bubbles. Pinching them won't do any damage; instead her head must be attacked. She will always try to approach Linda before attacking.
If you hit Fay Soff with a torpedo attack, all of her face pieces will detach and fly off, bouncing around the room. They will then hop around and unleash their usual attacks. Fay Soff herself will run around the room in a panic, eventually stopping to retrieve all of the pieces and continue her assault.
After smacking off all the face pieces with a torpedo attack, you can pick up each of them and place them back on Fay Soff's head in a disorganized pattern. Doing so will make her slow down and get dizzy. Applying all of her face pieces will make her turn red, and you will deal heavy damage when you torpedo attack her in this state.
Quotes[]
- “Get out of my way!” (before attacking)
- "I'm blind! I'm blind!" (after losing her face pieces from a torpedo attack)
- ”Guys, come back!” (recovering her face pieces)
- "My face! My face!" (when dealt heavy or special damage)
