Preperation:
Same as last time, switched to the Fire chip, as it allows you to skip pretty much the entire first section of the stage. The boulder puzzles and timed pressure plate-dashing segments are more likely to kill you than any other part of the stage except for the boss.

Boss Analysis:
This boss will spend most of the fight doing a single attack in which he launches himself foreward and bounces off of the walls. The simple strategy is to get him to break a spot in the floor and stand one block away from the edge of it. He will ram the block to break it and then pop up and be vulnerable briefly. Use a charged saber attack and you'll have a much easier time with this fight than I did in the video.

He has a spinning fireball throwing move, which can be avoided simply by standing far enough away from him on the same vertical level.

Additionally he has a jumping move, which can be difficult to dodge if you are in a pit made by his attacks, however, if you aren't stuck in a pit, you can just dash out of the way.

He does spit out minions, but as you saw in the video they are a joke to clear out, and serve more to distract you from whatever the boss is doing.

His ultimate move is a flaming uppercut type attack, however Fire bosses tend to die before they get a chance to use their ultimate moves, and as such I have literally never seen him use it.

New Enemies:
Background Turrets: These guys are annoying because they like to pop up with little to no warning and take potshots at you.
Those flippidy-bippidy tripod things: They are only vulnerable to damage when they are in the process of attacking you, much like the other new enemy in this stage. However, they are easy enough to handle that you don't need to kill them.
