BOSS (7)

Struggling with BOSS (7) in PEAK.? This guide breaks down the boss's attack patterns and provides a winning strategy to help you defeat it.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Attacks with horizontal fireballs, jumping fireballs, spread shots, falling boulders, and lava splashes.
• Vulnerable to charged club attacks during specific pauses in its patterns.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Smaller Boss
   • The boss fires three horizontal fireballs, then jumps to the other side of the screen firing two fireballs downwards. This pattern repeats.
   • Strategy: Charge your club and use it after the third fireball, just before the boss jumps. About three charged hits will make this boss retreat.
2. Phase 2: Larger Boss
   • The boss appears after the first one runs away.
   • Strategy: Start by waiting on the left side of the screen as the boss approaches.
   • The boss fires a spread shot towards the left edge of the screen. To avoid this, get close to the boss.
   • The boss then fires the same shot, but closer to your current position. Immediately return to the left edge of the screen to dodge it.
   • Next, the boss jumps, and a pair of boulders will fall. Watch for them and avoid them, also minding the lava that splashes back when they hit the ground.
   • The boss then brings its head to the floor and shoots a horizontal stream of fire. If you stay at the left edge of the screen, this fire won't reach you.
   • Attack Window: After the fire stream, there's a short pause. This is your chance to attack the boss with a charged club.
   • The boss will then jump towards you, firing a far and a close spread shot before jumping back. The entire pattern then repeats.
   • Advanced Tip: If you're quick, you can jump and hit the boss in the face while dodging its far spread shot. This is optional.
   • After about 7-8 charged hits, the boss will collapse, and you'll see the game's ending.
