Boss 11: Hugo Fact the Unbound
Toal/Nightmare Mode
Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfjut10T8wsY04zbKEni5J1BXuhdB1ZCM

Toal reaches the last door leading to the Tower's summit. On the other side he finds his little brother, possessed by the demonic influence and with Epona in his clutches. He calls out their challenge from earlier, inciting Hugo to action.

════════════════════════════
This fight can be really hard until you figure out Hugo's rhythm, at which point it can actually end fairly quickly. Even still, Hugo has a few attacks that will cut through your HP like a hot knife through butter if you're careless.

For the first half of the fight Hugo will typically fire shots in a pattern of five waves or continuously for about 3 seconds. Once you learn his timing, a double jump into a falling/hovering Inferno directly over him is the safest and most damaging way to deal damage. You can also attack him directly for a small moment after you land, though if you attack him too much then he'll put up his shield, slowing down the battle for a bit. The only things to look out for are his stalking orbs which do a LOT of damage and making sure you don't jump when his first attack is his own jumping attack.

The second phase is more of the same, though he may not always abide by his five/three rule. You'll spend more time avoiding him as he can shoot continuously for longer times, and will eventually summon the Eyes of Fact directly around you to pester your efforts. It's also worse to stay near him as long in this phase as he'll spend Trap Mines and burst into a flurry of the stalking orbs more often, making it a more hit and run situation.

Of course his most dangerous attack is his Flame Wheel. It has a wide spread thanks to having six Eyes and it's hard to escape from if he catches you. Granted he does have a wind-up time/sound and it can be interrupted, but even those things aren't always consistent. The absolute worst is when he activates Flame Wheel after making the Eyes of Fact swarm you, since the beams will be all over the place and near impossible to dodge. This attack can be a bit glitchy in general, so it's best to find solid position directly behind him as much as possible to avoid any cheap shenanigans.
════════════════════════════

Hugo eventually overcomes the demonic rage, questioning his brother's change of heart and Toal remarks that he indeed has changed and has realized the error in his thinking of their relationship. Hugo pokes fun at his brother before checking on Epona who thankfully isn't gravely injured.

Hugo gives Toal the Goddess Ring, a possession taken from Reah per Dalles' orders, and departs from his brother to treat Epona's wounds. With all loose ends tied up, Toal proceeds to the top of the Tower to face Dalles and stop his ritual.
