Stuck on final boss! (spoilers)
« on: January 11, 2009, 01:18:56 pm »
Okay, I've finally made it to the final boss, and I'm stuck.  I've read the boss strategy guide on these forums, which just says about his fourth form "Copy his notes.  If you do it enough times, he'll fall."  (Or something similarly short.)  I have tried copying his notes, but no matter how fast I do it or how slow, nothing seems to happen.  The stupid balls still appear and clobber me, no matter what.  I did figure out that each one has a note in it, and singing that note long enough makes the ball go away.  But how am I supposed to sit still singing to one ball when two others are coming after me?  There just isn't enough maneuvering room in that chamber.  Anybody got any hints?  It's rather frustrating to get all the way to the fourth boss form after half an hour of play and then be killed by something like this!

I never encountered any problems, but it is a time since I've last been there, so I may not be totally right.

Afaik I moved to the place where he is and then just sang the notes of the balls. That way I got seldom hit and he died. There should be enough time for switching notes to get all the balls.

Once a ball has fully emerged, tap the corresponding note, you don't have to hold it. It's easy to go through without even getting hit.

You have to hit the note before the ball hits you. If you get all three without getting hit the boss will take damage. Otherwise he'll just shoot another round of balls at you.

The Jelly armour is very useful for this boss. You'll be in Song Form the whole time anyway and any damage you take will happen slowly enough that the armour's healing should be able to keep up.

You could try this trick and make him the easiest boss to beat :D
 WARNING SERIOUS SPOILER ALERT: Just swim up and sit the other side of the hook that is above his head and to the left, and you can sit there as long as you want singing the notes but try and get them in the order that he sang them

The Jellyfish suit really helps
