Nova's Final Boss Fight. Phase 1 and 2.
🕑 Added 2025-08-23 01:35:24 +0000 UTCHeyo everyone! This week was the first steps on the final boss fight with Nova. The level starts by throwing you right in front of her.
Unlike the fight on Catiya2, Nova will start in her powered up state.
This fight will play out exactly how you are used to.
But what about when you beat her this time?
Enter the new Phase 2:
There will be a couple familiar moves powered up, but this boss has 8 different moves to deal with. Nova will always start the fight with the missiles.
Let's check out her other new moves.
3-tier laser. The objective here is to weave between her lasers.
Summon Enemies. This portal will open, unleashing 3 random enemies. (This move will likely be work shopped a bit from what you see here.
Vortex bombs. These vortex bombs will draw you in if you get close, then detonate.
Missiles Lv. 3. As you saw during the intro, the missile attack is also in the pool. This tier will have twice as many missiles as the previous phase, and will sometimes be tough to dodge.
Contamination. Nova will fire an unending stream of rings that will damage, and apply contamination. In order to stop this, you must destroy the head casting them.
Beam. Nova will summon a massive beam, and swipe down. The visuals of this will definitely require further work, but the function is all there.
Energy Ball. In this attack Nova will fire Lasers on an axis that slowly close in on the player until shooting directly forward. While I do like the way this move works, I may make changes to make it a bit more threatening, as it's quite unimposing at the moment.
That leads us to the final attack. This move is NOT in her normal attack pool. This attack will only happen once when she is below 25% HP. The small body will begin charging a ball of energy. You must destroy the small body's head before he unleashes the attack.
If you fail to do enough damage, she will blast the screen and do massive damage. While this move won't do enough to kill you from full, it does take about 75%. It is considered "Obstacle" damage, meaning you can technically withstand this damage with Tanya's Barrier, but not with base defense options (like pulse, barrel roll, etc.)
That will sum up her 2nd Phase this fight.
That's not all though! There is a phase 3 planned for this fight. It may not be as significant as phase 2, but I will decide the specifics of that later.
Next week will either be focusing on Nova's 4th and final ending Hscene, or Phase 3 of this fight.
Thanks again everyone! I'll catch you all next week!
