Not sure how to beat 4th boss (spoilers I guess)

[blaccdixk]

Really have no idea how this boss is supposed to be possible; after the first drop through the tower, i'm down to 25 or less hp from max and then he just instantly lunges at me and kills me. Am I missing something?

The fight kind of requires to kill the third boss under 1:20 to get the invulnerability card so you take no fall damage. If you kill him quickly you can destroy two or three floor before the effect ends.

Otherwise hop around at the edge to collect everthing before you kill him. There are armors and/or on every floor. If you land on debris or one of the pillars you take less fall damage.

From the ruins boss, you should have the iron will card, that allows you to take no damage.
Use that with the x4 damage (from castle) and double time bonus (from babel)
Also use forgiveness (from factory).

Didn't know what the cards were or how to use them... Maybe playing through for the first time on Trauma wasn't the best idea. Had to look up what the cards did/were, etc. ended up beating him using the 2x damage one and Endurance! But then the credits rolled and chapter 5 is still locked, so not sure why.

Chapter 5 is locked in the Trauma difficulty for story reasons. Someone on the Steam forums did provide a mod to get rid of that limitation.

Edit: Here you go!

Chapter 5 is locked because you've played the game for the 'true' ending, however this was only ment to be done after beating nightmare, since collecting souls, you refuse to go to heaven (which happens in trauma mode), instead you end up going to hell and that's pretty much chapter 5.

So after chapter 5, you'll start the game again on the trauma and then get the proper ending instead.

Personally I think it was somewhat idiotic to lockout chapter 5 because it's pretty fun to play.

Originally you had to collect all cards to unlock Trauma but with the Black Edition it is available from the start which means you can miss out chapter 5 (which has awesome levels) and the gameplay elements of souls and demon mode.

Maybe this will help? (skip to 3:07 to avoid spoilers)

No gold tarot cards used and on trauma, i only used last stand to survive the fall damage.
