Segment 8

• TBA
• Boss: Unnamed 290/HellSinker
  • The goal of this boss is to raise it's Satisfaction meter to level 3. Doing non-bomb damage to it raises it (fairly slowly) while not hitting it for awhile will cause it to fall (also slowly). Bombing will cause it to fall very rapidly and should be avoided.
  • Each pattern during this phase is static. They can be practiced in Segment Location. Use this to your advantage.
  • Whenever an attack during this phase ends (based solely on time), the boss will drop 6 Life Chips. This can be used to gain a couple extra lives/Immortality bonuses.
  • Based on your Satisfaction level at the end of this boss, an extra boss will be spawned.
• Boss: GARLAND
  • Requires Satisfaction level 3. This boss can potentially lead to the TLB and the true end.
  • Your goal is to fill its health bar to max by dealing damage. This will unlock the TLB.
  • Beyond this mechanic, GARLAND is invincible (but can still be shot for score).
  • This phase will last 102 seconds.
  • The giant green lasers can be used to damage GARLAND if the white hexagonal shielding pieces are destroyed.
  • In this part of the game only, enemy Misteltoe bullets can be cancelled. These bullets will cancel into Life Chips rather than Ingots. GARLAND will do this twice, at LIMIT 07 and LIMIT 00. Keep as many of these bullets on the screen as possible to earn your last extends of the run.
• Boss: Lost Property 771
  • The True Last Boss.
  • Like GARLAND, completely invincible but worth shooting.
  • This phase is pure survival, and lasts 74 seconds.
  • Good luck.
