Holy cow! That was impressive. I don't think I've seen someone use Reckless Ricochet so effectively before. Congrats!

Now I am trying to defeat the super boss in the normal mode, it is so difficult…

I think to record the video in the easy mode if it is too difficult for me.

Can I prevent his instant kill attack?

You cannot. Between every phase, he'll kill one character. He has only one phase on easy, two on normal, and three on hard. So on easy, you have three characters to fight one phase, on normal, you have one character for the first phase and two for the second, and on hard, you have one character for each of the phases. And of course, the phases get progressively more difficult.

Thank you for your answer, Russ. He has even three phase on the hard!? I believe he is a type B super boss. I think it is enough to have two phases even on the hard... Anyway, I'm sure I can never defeat him on the hard. If you have any video on the hard , would you show it?

Sure thing. Video's below. On hard, he really is intended to be a crazy difficult super boss. The idea was that on easy, he'd be something most players can do, but with some difficulty. On normal, he'd be something akin to... Total Eclipse Tartaros, or Tyrant Vanice. Very difficult, but good players can beat him. And on hard, he'd be one of the hardest things in ZC. I think he accomplished that goal. To my knowledge, only Evan (who made the boss) and I have beaten him on hard so far.

It’s a really cool video, thanks!  It may help me to defeat him/her on the normal mode, I will try.

I did Chase on the normal mode. But reaching the final phase is my limit. Thank you for your help.

I believe I found a gamebreaking bug.  I am stuck in the castle on top of Ali's Agcent.  I did a save and quit in the castle.  Now when I enter it is always 06:00AM.  Because of this time, I cannot get to the area to change the time of day.  I also can't get much further other than to the 2nd floor to the room where there is a couple of bubbles and star blocks.  Any idea how I can get around this?

[Russ]

Don't worry, you're not stuck. From that area on the second floor, you can get to another place to change the time. And more importantly, the dungeon item. So what you'll want to do is reach the room north of the staircase. To do that, from the room on floor two with the staircase up from floor one, first, us the wand to push the small star block up. Then, push the larger block left. That will let you use the tidal gauntlet off the larger block to reach the platform south of you and take the bubble to the right. In that room, clearing the blocks with bombs will let you bubble to the north, then walk from that room to the west. That room has both a time of day changing crystal and a small key. You can then use that small key two screens to the south to get the dungeon item. From there, things should be much more straightforward.
