Boss

Chapter 8 – This is the hardest and most annoying trophy in the game. You have to beat the only enemy in the game without getting hit once. If he hits you you have to restart the whole chapter and also unfortunately the unskippable cutscene.


The boss has 3 phases. During the first one you can only take damage by the falling rocks at the end of the phase. The second phase i inside the half pipe, he will shoot with a fire beam at you, you have to use the half pipe to jump up and then fly to the opposite site to dodge the attack. The second attack is a wave of fire which you have to jump over. The third attack is some meteors coming down on you, just dodge them. During all this collect the water and shoot as often as possible at him


Phase 3 is inside a giant water tube. The first attack here is a laser he shoots at you, just drive to the left or right all the time to avoid it. Attack number 2 is again some fire waves/areas, just drive around them. At the end he will shoot a fire ball at you whcih you have to strike back at him at the correct timing.
