Dimesional Guardian X Boss Strategy?

[Heckin' Hound]

Finally found my way to this guy and damn he's tough. I want that spell you get for beating him so badly though. What's the best strategy for taking him on? I managed to squeak by his first form by whittling away his health with the Soul Blazer spell but his second form completely took me by surprise and my health was pretty much gone at that point.

Any advice?

He is a nightmare. 100% speedrunners use a glitch to beat him (and I don't know how that glitch works). Try different spells. Even without a glitch Gale Wind seems to be the skill to use.

At the second stage, hug the right wall, the vertical laser doesn't reach over there.

Managed to beat him. Thanks for the advice. :3

Incredibly easy boss.

Here is the best strategy for those that haven't figured it out:

First phase: Run towards him from either side, jump and release the Tornado spell right in his face. If you do it correctly, his weakpoint will appear right inside your tornado and he will take massive damage. Ridiculously easy phase.

Second phase: Depends heavily on his pattern. I've had him go vertically all the time, which makes him very easy if you time your tornado properly. The harder one was the diagonal pattern. Stay to the sides to avoid the laser. Spam tornadoes and rely on some luck to get in some hits. Focus on dodging the rings. He will go down eventually.

I found that Explosion Fire made the second phase go down a lot faster than Gale Wind, I think in about four casts. Obviously the first phase was a lot slower, but since that's the easier one to dodge, the trade-off is well worth it.

On the second phase, use explosion fire and just bait his blue rings somewhere in the play area that wont bring them into the nook where the door is. Simply hide in there and his laser can't hit you and just jump out and shoot explosion fire at him when the oppotunity comes.

2nd phase is so much easier with E. Fire. The whole run to the boss is very tedious, and then you have to wait to skip the cut-scene unless you want that exclamation mark there throughout the fight.
Also, changed my jump to the up arrow key and "up" to an unused key on the keyboard.
