What should I do at the point when the boss is over me ?

Going back, I believe. Or maybe forward. Or block. There is definitely escape sequence for this, but I don't remember it. I failed half of such checks, I believe, but it was not enough to kill me.

I´ll try this

I feel as I didn't say enough.

Every boss move, I believe, must be countered with the exact counter-move. And while left-right are obvious, "up" is less obvious. In such circumstances I started to randomly press buttons initially ( I believe, it was named buttons for forward, backward and block, because right and left are reserved already), and in some cases it worked. After 2-3 deaths I learned what _exactly_ worked, but I simply don't remember it now. Also, as such events requires quite strict timing, I believe that I failed half of it anyway. Still, I managed to finish it. :)

I literally just beat that boss tonight within the past hour or so. When the boss moves above you, just use the dodge move. For me, it was any direction and right mouse button. The boss then swoops down and misses you. Then you continue as you have been. :D

Cool. You're almost there. Beat that boss and you'll be treated to the ending. Make sure you stay to the end of the credits.

Links to yourself or anyone else on the planet doing this? It would get piles of clicks if it were possible, even though the game is old. BG&E2 wouldn't be getting made if there weren't a significant number or fans and people interested in BG&E. Not only would it get a lot of clicks, but players would want to show off such a cool trick out or pride or helpfulness.

I am doubtful that that what you claim is possible, hence my request for what should be readily available evidence of such a feat in a game with a relevant number of fans who replay it.

"Always" as in "in all my playthroughs dating back to 2003 I used gyrodisk to shoot boss when he's over me", not as in "I managed to click him to death without even touching dai-jo during the final fight", baka.

That makes a lot more sense. So when he does the reverse movement controls thing, does it also invert your y axis for aiming with the gyro disc?

Actually not, I believe first-person (and 3rd-person) camera movement is unaffected, only WASD controls are flipped.

Nice. Interesting strategy!
