Once AlphenвЂ™s bar was filled, I finisher moved him to stun him for more uninterrupted damage. Just like part 1, I would do small combos before backing out and guiding any of his AoE or tracking attacks away from my teammates. Target one hand at a time until youвЂ™ve broken the core as this will stun him for quite a while, giving you the chance to damage the other core uninterrupted. The third phase is against the Great Spirit v2, but heвЂ™s downgraded to large weak points for us to wail on. Do whatever youвЂ™ve done to kill these enemies prior and try not to waste too many resources here. The second part pits you against 2 hammer bros, and a few flying enemies. At this point, however, I opted to ignore them and just nuke the last bit of HP. After a little less than a quarter HP, it will periodically spawn 1 or 2 of the elemental orbs. I took the time to kill them all before returning to my strategy for the Great Spirit.

These things can be a nuisance and do a lot of damage. At the half-way point it will summon elemental orbs into the field. The only attack you really have to watch out for is when it places a ring of darkness around its feet. Whenever AlphenвЂ™s finisher move was filled I would use that to stun the Great Spirit and unload my high damage combos on it. I found hanging out behind him and taking potshot combos, while letting my Boost Attacks do most of the damage worked pretty well. The first part of this sequence pits you against the Great Spirit v1, weвЂ™ll call it.

Going into the final boss sequence I was level 50 on Normal and had next to no issues. You will unlock this for finishing the main story.
