75 HP


Charge - 2 damage points
Bullet Barrage - 1 damage point per bullet
Hyper Laser - HP goes down as long as you stand in the laser range
Arm Stab - 2 damage points
Light Explosion - 2 damage point per explosion




He is the last boss and he means it. He is fast, powerful, tough and angry.

Dodge his Charging attack then quickly dash to him, use a Charged attack and dash away. Evade his Bullet Barrage any way you can then try to dash behind him as he is charging his Hyper Laser and use another Charged attack as he is firing away from you.

Repeat this pattern and soon after he will try to either Stab you with his arm or hit you his Light Explosion. For the Arm Stab, dodge this attack and do not try to slash him as he will try to hurt you a second time with this same attack. For his Light Explosion he will launch four dark lights around you so, quickly destroy most of these because as soon as Judgement will reappear they will explode in a large proportion.

As he will lose energy, his attacks will become even more violent. He will Charge at you two times in a row then three times in a row, fire more waves of Bullet Barrage, charge his Hyper Laser faster and use two Arm Stabs in a row.

Once he has lost all his life points, slash him one last time to finish him.
