Special Missions (ASG)

Special Missions are five additional missions in Azure Striker Gunvolt, unlocked after playing through the true ending the first time. Each mission consists of two halves of two stages from the main game, with the boss usually being randomly picked from those two stages - though if players keep holding D-pad up or down after breaking the last Hexapyle they can be guaranteed to fight one specific boss. Hold up to fight the boss corresponding to the first half, down for the boss corresponding to the second half. In all of them, Anthem is disabled and there are no checkpoints. All missions are code named Gauntlet (挑戦状, Challenge). Clearing the four main Special Missions unlocks the Dullahan cartridge, which negates tags but increases shot damage significantly.
Special Mission 5, the boss rush, was not part of the game until version 1.2.
