Unlike your usual Final Stage, this one definitely isn't an easy romp before getting to the final boss herself, rather this one actually plays like how you'd expect the difficulty of a final stage to be. You're escaping a collapsing pyramid here and the stage itself feels like that with just a whole bunch of different stuff thrown at you. Biggest thing to watch out for is cause of that, it gets extremely easy to get trapped under a good number of enemy patterns

Horou has a motley crew of attacks here, not unlike all the stuff Set threw at you last stage. However while Set was more about literally punching or throwing stuff at you, here trapping and blasting you. Much of her fight feels like she's setting up different ways to pin you down under bullets, but then snipe you with one extra attack once you're pinned down. Also, important to consider in her fight that she will switch your weapon customization from spell to spell. For the most part, it's generally a non-issue (since most of the differences were status effects on stage enemies), but the biggest one you have to watch out for is Green, since that was the only color that changed your movement (you start moving faster and faster while unfocused).
