Time for the second fortress stage! This one contains water...and moving platforms over spikes. Of course. The stage isn't so bad, but the boss...ugh. I don't even bother trying to beat him with the buster because it's such a pain to do. It's a refight with Serges, and this battle plays completely differently from the first one, but it manages to be even more annoying. He's in a contraption with four cannons on the front that each shoot a different kind of projectile, and you have to destroy all of them before you can even deal any damage to Serges himself. And did I mention that your only solid ground consists of four platforms over spikes...which later get reduced to three and then two? Even after you destroy all the cannons, there's still Serges himself with the full 32 bars of health. All he does is move up and down shooting a small green ball that splits into four pieces either in the cardinal or diagonal directions (it alternates), but remember, you are on moving platforms above spikes, which makes them surprisingly hard to dodge...not to mention Serges himself has a tiny hitbox and anything that hits any part of the machine rather than him, including the part he's sitting is, is nullified. He's still weak to the Speed Burner, but like I said, it's hard to hit him with. Charged Sonic Slicer works well if you can figure out where to stand, because the blades often go through his chair and connect with him rather than just disappearing. Silk Shot is good for taking out the cannons (it usually takes only one shot with it to destroy one), or you can use the Giga Crush to destroy all four at once.
