The '''final boss''' waits at the bottom of the [[Abyss]], behind a column of [[Breakable Blocks|breakable blocks]] — a vast buried creature of which you only ever fight the eye. It stays dormant until your first shot lands.

== The fight ==

The boss is effectively invulnerable except when its eye opens. Enough accumulated damage makes it flinch and close up; roughly four such wounds push it into the next phase, and each phase drags the fight down through a section of the Abyss echoing one of the four areas. Throughout, it fires spreads of bullets, lashes with tentacles, and spawns pale clones of that section's enemies (internally the <code>neon*</code> family — neonBat, neonJelly, neonSquid and kin).

Kill it and the [[Ending|ending]] begins. Beating it for the first time unlocks [[Hard Mode]], where it gains an extra bullet spread per attack.
