=== World 6 - Boss Fight Guide ===
This is our walk through for the final boss in the game. You might have heard this was a difficult game and been wondering up to now where the challenge was - well here it is. This final boss is tougher than anything else in the game as you'll see.
As you approach the location on your map (the summit of the second highest peak in the volcano region), a cut scene will trigger (assuming you have completed all the previous main storyline quests). Once again, you will encounter the flail maiden. Yes - she really is the final boss, despite all the times you've defeated her already throughout the game - but don't be fooled, she's tougher than ever.
After a bit of verbal sparring between her and Prince Klein the encounter will begin.
== Phase 1 ==
The encounter starts out the same as every previous encounter with the flail maiden with her advancing on you with her dual flails. As per usual just block her attacks and let Prince Klein do the rest. His high level parries will make short work of her without you having to lift a finger (other than holding down that shield button).
Don't be fooled into thinking this is the end of the encounter when the flail maiden's life bar nearly reaches zero. A cutscene will play where it is revealed that the flail maiden is now the one who holds the ambrosia. She consumes it before your character or the prince can stop her and begins to grow. She quickly doubles in size, and the battle resumes.
== Phase 2 ==
You may be worried to see her health has been restored to full as she stomps towards you but don't be too intimidated. Keep going with the blocking tactic as before but be patient, it will take a while for Prince Klein to do the work as her defence and health stats are much bigger now. You may need to throw in a heal for him now and then.
Eventually another cutscene will trigger when she has received enough damage in which she doubles in size again.
== Phase 3 ==
For this phase you may need to switch things up a bit.
First of all; don't block all the time. The maiden is much stronger now - each third hit she lands on your shield will break your defence, no matter how high your guard stat is.
Secondly; you'll need to assist the prince with his attacks, slashing away at her each time she stops to laugh.
NOTE: A single blow from her flails at this point can take off a huge chunk of your health with her enlarged attack stat so be careful.
Once again, when you reach near the bottom of her health bar a cut scene will play. As before she'll grow again - but this time's there's a sad addition to events as she lands a critical blow on Prince Klein who, after some final words, dies.
== Phase 4 ==
Now that you're on your own the real battle begins and you will have to adopt a totally different approach to the boss.
Primarily, you should roll to evade her attacks. Previously we didn't advise evasion for the flail maiden as you ran the chance of rolling out of her reach and causing her to break her attack chain. Now she's so big her reach covers the entire arena so you can roll to your heart's content.
Secondly, be even more patient. Keep evading and attacking her as she stops to tease you. During this phase you will have to knock off all her armour before you can deal any damage at all. This is a long and arduous task and may make you tempted to use your special attacks - don't. You'll need to keep your specials for later. Eventually, with all her armour destroyed, you'll be able to deal damage.
NOTE: Avoid the maiden's feet as just being near them can cause your character huge amounts of damage. Also be warned her flails and fists are now insta-kills - no matter how high your vitality stat is.
Eventually you'll be able to chip her health down - but before it reaches 0... you've guessed it; there's yet another cut scene. In this one the flail maiden - now in her near naked glory - grows even more and repositions herself at the edge of the arena before the fight resumes.
== Phase 5 ==
Don't be tempted to attack the maiden's arms (or other body parts) as she reaches over the arena to get you - you stand a chance of being grabbed up if you get too close. If she grabs you then you're dead after a brief cutscene of her crushing you.
NOTE: If you are on the far side of the arena when grabbed the boss will crush you in her hand, if you are on the near side she'll knock you down the mountain and crush you beneath a foot and if you are in the middle she'll drop you between her enormous breasts and crush you (recommended to watch at least once - though there are no checkpoints during the battle so you will need to repeat the whole encounter again afterwards). We are unable to verify the rumours of an ass-insertion cutscene, it must rely on a specific version of the game we don't have.
You will need to use long range attacks for this phase of the battle. They'll cause little damage but over time you should be able to chip her down until the next cut scene triggers in which she doubles in size again.
== Phase 6 ==
Now is the time to unleash your special moves. You may notice they are not instant kills like in other battles but they do chip down at her health significantly more than projectiles.
NOTE: Run towards rocks in the arena and get her to smash them. Inside most are healing potions
Eventually you'll trigger another cut scene where she doubles in size yet again.
== Phase 7 ==
Ok, we'll be honest - we haven't been able to get any further than this. The maiden is now big enough to smash the entire arena in one go. We have no idea how to evade this. Whether she attacks with her feet, ass or tits the result is always the same - you're dead.
We think the answer may be to defeat her while she taunts and laughs at you before her first (and final attack) during this phase. But unfortunately it appears none of the attacks you're capable of deal damage any more when she's so big. Even if you somehow manage to survive the previous round without using your special moves, they are useless here.
NOTE: Even cheats and mods don't work in this encounter. It appears the game has an anti-piracy measure that kicks in if you try to cheese things where the boss grows even bigger and smashes you instantly.
If you find a way to defeat her please let us know. Thinking about the giantess has been keeping us up every night since launch day - seriously, its like she's in our heads...
Meta: This is possibly a sequel to Busty Giantess looks down on you in a grand hall. I liked the idea of an AI presenting itself as a giantess so I have a lot of potential continuations of that story in mind as a result. That is why I don't want to make this an official sequel yet in case I want to go another route with it.
I love the idea of a giantess as a boss fight, especially one who grows. Every good boss has multiple phases where the boss transforms between each one - why can't the transformation be just some simple growth? I think with a giantess being explicitly your enemy when part of a boss-encounter scenario it makes them so much more intimidating.
I was going to add a HUD and a first person hand with weapons to complete the video-game aesthetic, but it looked silly so I've just kept the video game influence minimal.
