** DualBoss: The twin submarines miniboss.
** RingOutBoss: The easiest way to beat the Apostles is to push them out of their sanctuary (room), which instantly kills them.

* DualBoss: The twin submarines miniboss.



** As for bosses, the weakness cycle is:
** [[spoiler: Fire > Ice (Splash damage kills Crystaleyes easily)]]
** [[spoiler: Ice > Lightning (Raivolt is easy to freeze, and is pathetic when frozen)]]
** [[spoiler: Lightning > Water (Quadran takes big damage if you shock all his segments, and Proxy Shock is a ChainLightning)]]

** [[spoiler: Holy > Darkness (Serial is WeakenedByTheLight as well as slowed by it, the Judgement Beam will rip off a massive chunk of his low health)]]
** [[spoiler: Darkness > Earth (Armored enemies are weak against Virus, and Virus attacks are able to penetrate Drillium's armor)]]
** [[spoiler: Earth > Wind (Flak Cannon makes short work of Sky Fortress' turbines and Mooks, and the Seismic Charge and Shock Tremor stun it when it lands)]]
** [[spoiler: Wind > Fire (The Tornado Shield renders all of Crabburn's attacks useless, and the rapid piercing attack does lots of damage to him)]]
