Strategy:
Menace is the final boss and a multi-phase encounter. In Phase 1, focus on attacking its head. Dodge its projectiles, jump over tentacle sweeps, and move away from its head slams. Use your strongest Bullet Souls for consistent damage. Once the head is defeated, Phase 2 begins.
In Phase 2, Menace reveals its true form: a massive, grotesque body with multiple weak points (eyes, mouths). These weak points are vulnerable to Holy damage, making the Claimh Solais incredibly effective. Prioritize destroying the weak points. Menace will fire lasers, summon enemies, and try to crush you. Stay mobile, use your most powerful attacks, and heal when necessary. This is a long and challenging fight, so conserve MP and use your strongest abilities strategically. A Magic Seal is required to finish the boss after its HP is depleted.
