Boss Battle: Great Sacred Treasure


The true boss of this chapter is the very weapon you have sought to receive from Dyntos, the Great Sacred Treasure. A transforming, giant mech equipped with the latest weapons Dyntos has invented, it is designed to take on and go beyond the impossible. It is the first and last word on firepower. It’s also aiming all of that firepower directly at you. Fortunately, you do get a Drink of the Gods before this fight begins.

The Great Sacred Treasure has a wide variety of attacks it can use for this fight, some of which you may not even get to see unless you are playing on the higher Intensities. A common attack it uses is simply to fly at high speed toward Pit, while generating a magic barrier. This can be dodged fairly easily. It also tries to fire a scattershot of energy blasts from afar.

The machine can cast out a trio of whirlwinds that move in a wave pattern at you.

It can use its main rifle to fire a blast that sets you on fire.

It can summon a set of homing shock waves that follow you along the ground.

It’s even able to cast a gravity field that pulls you into position for the Great Sacred Treasure to hit you with any of its other attacks. Even touching the field causes electric damage to you.

But the real showstopper here is the Great Sacred Treasure’s main gun attack. When it flies to the edge of the battlefield, shining brightly, and a red indicator spreads across the ground, do NOT be anywhere within that red field.

After firing the main gun, the Great Sacred Treasure also starts using a much smaller version of that attack, which is telegraphed by its hovering in place, with an energy field gathering around it. It then fires a laser beam that carves straight across the battlefield.

In addition to all of this firepower, the Great Sacred Treasure is amazingly fast and maneuverable for its size, able to avoid homing shots with ease. Occasionally, it teleports to your side, or even behind you, while avoiding your attacks. The mech seems to have an answer for your every possible move, so you’ll have to play defensively and take the shots you can without putting yourself at too much risk.

If you manage to survive the onslaught and win, this ultimate weapon is yours for the taking. With your preparations complete, there is nothing left to do but to go straight after Hades himself.
