Phases:

1. Phase 1: The Devil's Throne Room
   The Devil sits on his throne, using various attacks including summoning imps, firing projectiles, and transforming into a spider. Dodge his attacks and parry pink projectiles when necessary.
2. Phase 2: The Devil's Eyes
   The Devil's eyes become the primary targets. He continues to use some attacks from Phase 1, alongside new ones like summoning falling poker chips. Focus on hitting the eyes.
3. Phase 3: The Devil's Tears
   The Devil cries, and his tears fall as projectiles. Platforms will also fall away, shrinking the arena. Continue to dodge and attack the Devil's face.
4. Phase 4: The Final Stand
   The Devil is reduced to a small, bouncing head. He will continue to attack with projectiles and summon minions. This is the final push to defeat him.

Strategy:

• Phase 1: Stay mobile. Use the Smoke Bomb charm to dash through attacks. Prioritize dodging over attacking when overwhelmed. Parry the pink imps to gain EX meter.
• Phase 2: The shrinking arena and falling platforms make this phase challenging. Keep an eye on the Devil's attacks and platform stability. Use EX moves when you have a clear opening.
• Phase 3: Focus on precise platforming and dodging. The falling platforms require constant attention. Aim for the Devil's face whenever possible.
• Phase 4: This is a DPS race. Use all your accumulated EX and Super meter to finish the Devil off quickly before he overwhelms you.
