Try not to mind the black edges I minimized the screen to make it easier since I have a rather large monitor.

To unlock this boss fight, you must defeat Khidr and then obtain the Obol, which is a random item you might receive when praying at a shrine. Because it's random, you may need to pray several times before you find one. After receiving the item you must die then within your next run there will be a new entrance to the boss door.

Basic Strategy
This fight no matter what is very difficult and not only takes skill but a lot of RNG don’t expect to do this quickly. While Neo Khidr's attack patterns are the same as the original, the smaller arena and more aggressive attacks (less downtime between attacks, more projectiles when he does attack) make survival tricky.

The most basic element of the strategy is to spam the "Empowered" version of the spell. empowered spells are the cast using the "Special" attack for the character (Y on Xbox) Each use costs 30 MP, but hitting him with your sword recovers 10 MP.

For reference, however, a regular attack deals 35 damage; the empowered spell deals 232 damage 6 times. You're only using normal attacks to get the MP necessary to use the empowered spell.

Also note that the normal version of the spell only deals 116 damage 6 times. You could use it, but it'll take twice as long to defeat him.

So, the plan is to jump around the stage dodging projectiles and hit him with your empowered spell. Use regular attacks to recover MP.

Attack Patterns
Now, the Khidrs have three basic attack patterns:

First, he'll fire his projectiles out in a spiraling pattern, either moving clockwise or counterclockwise. Once you get the hang of it, this is actually the easiest attack to dodge. The basic plan here is to dash over the spikes on the bottom of the stage or over Khidr itself to make it to safety. You'll have to play around with it a little bit to get a feel for where you should stand and how you should move, but it will mostly screw you up when you're not in a good position when he starts this attack.

The reason you may not be in a good position is that you may have been dodging his second attack pattern - firing projectiles outward in a uniform pattern. The problem here is that the projectiles start close enough together that you're going to need to be in one of the corners of the room to avoid them. The easiest place to do this is in the upper corners while standing on one of the floating platforms, but if you're up there when he starts the spiral attack, you're almost certainly going to get hit. You'll need to use the double jump ability to maneuver around this pattern.

The best attack pattern is the one where it fires projectiles outward in a random pattern. This is the best simply because it has the largest gaps between projectiles, meaning you're most likely to be able to get in some good damage. In fact, you may occasionally not need to move off one of the floating patterns during this attack, allowing you to do some serious damage.

This took me hours to do, don’t be discouraged.
