 Mission 12 - Hunter and Hunted

Run down the path and get onto the moving platform, here you'll have to fend
off a huge number of enemies but fortunately each one of them drops a small
Green Orb. There's an incredibly cheap way to do this however, if you learned
Air Raid simply equip the Nevan and jump into the air, pressing X and R1 to
fly. Now hold R1 and simply pound the square button to fire lightning blasts
down upon your opponents from a height making you literally invincible. Or
you can do it the old fashioned way of course. After the trip you can knock
the statue out of the way and get the large Green Orb if you need it, then go
into the next room and fight past the enemies again. It's just a matter of
retracing your steps back. At one point you'll have to fight one of those
large grim reaper enemies but fortunately you get a large Green Orb in return
once it is defeated. Leave that room and cross the bridge for a scene.
Open the door at the other end and grab the Vital Star L from the ground. Use
the statue to upgrade whatever you need and then descend the stairs down.
At the beginning of this battle it's just a constant battle of the boss
running at you, and you jumping easily out of the way and attacking with
some kind of firearm. In fact this is all you need to do until you've
taken a moderate fraction out of the boss' life. At that point the bridge
collapses and the battle continues down below. This is going to be the
most hectic and random battle so far. The boss runs around the edge
firing missles at you from its cart, just dodge these easily with a normal
jump out of the way. Eventually it will run to the middle of the arena,
this is your cue to Devil Trigger and start striking. You can jump and
dodge the attack where it brings its feet down hard but the key is to hit
it enough so that it falls down and you can really dish out the damage.
This continues for awhile but eventually the boss gets a new attack where
orbs surround the field and put you into a sort of slow-time zone, and
while this isn't really a disadvantage for you at first, it can often
leave you with little time to avoid a charge or right in the middle of
some magic flying spears, so avoid the orbs if you can. Continue your
aggressive tactic of melee attacks at the centre for the entire battle.
After the fight you learn a new fighting style, the Quicksilver which allows
you to control time freely in battle. Try it out if you like.
