Walkthrough

1
When you first enter the Nursery, you'll see Chauncey chilling. Start by vacuuming up one of the rocking horses. This will wake him up and get him onto his horse, ready to play... his way.
2
He'll start sending rocking horses and balls your way. The rocking horses are a bit trickier than before; they move side-to-side off-screen while also coming at you. Your best bet is to just run the opposite direction and hope for some luck! Then, he'll throw balls at you. Don't get cornered! Run as soon as you see them coming and try to dodge their pattern.
3
There's usually a ball lying around on the floor. Vacuum it up and then shoot it right back at Chauncey. This will stun him, but he'll break free pretty quickly.
4
After you hit him with the ball, he'll start bouncing around the room super fast. Your best bet here is to get to either the extreme right or left side of the room where he can't easily reach you.
5
He'll repeat his attacks, but faster this time. In the second round, he'll send two rocking horses at you simultaneously. They'll move back and forth as they rush you. To avoid them, don't stay in the middle. Try to position yourself so you're lined up with one of them; there's about a 50% chance it'll miss you. You can only take about 10 HP worth of damage before failing, so be extra careful here.
6
You'll likely catch him in this second attempt after dodging his faster attacks. Keep at it!

Tips

This boss can be tough, especially when he speeds up. Try to stay calm and focus on dodging his attacks first before worrying about landing your own.
If you're struggling with the rocking horses, try to keep moving and don't stand still for too long.
The ball attack can be particularly dangerous if you're trapped. Always be aware of your surroundings and potential escape routes.
