Pangu Lagoon

Pangu Lagoon is the seventh stage for Lilac in Freedom Planet.
In the story of Freedom Planet, Lilac is sent to Pangu Lagoon by the Royal Magister, who has now realized he was incorrect in his initial assumption of her intentions. He sends Lilac out to an unexplored area that he suspects may hold the answers to the origins of the Kingdom Stone and how to stop Brevon's army from taking it in return for restoring her energy that was depleted after being electrocuted by Brevon. Lilac accepts his offer and heads off to find the secrets that lurk in Pangu Lagoon. At the end of the stage, Lilac discovers Pangu and learns of the origins of dragons on Avalice and the Kingdom Stone.
== Act 1 ==

The stage opens with Lilac in the middle of a grassy field. The rocks and crystals underneath the ground are a variety of cooler colors, and there is a huge black lagoon with rocks poking out of it. Most of the enemies here are either Sunfloris, which regenerate after a short period of time, and Stingers, which can reproduce quickly by using their hives. Because the level is littered with these kinds of enemies and later bulky enemies with lots of health, it is not recommended to kill all the enemies in the stage as it is almost always a waste of time. Pangu Lagoon is also a very open stage, and although the player needs to exit through the same spot no matter what, the path to getting there can be different depending on what the player does; they can smoothly platform across the top of the stage or fight hoards of enemies at the bottom, and there are unique things to collect through each pathway.

Another important thing in this stage are the time gates, which allow Lilac to perform two dragon boosts back-to-back. Using the time gates correctly is required to progress through the stage, as there are several large pits with enemies in them that can only be jumped over by using two dragon boosts. As the level progress, the player sees several building made out of purple bricks and new environmental pieces to interact with, such as vines that Lilac can climb up like ladders and bows and arrows that Lilac can hop onto and be shot out of to break pieces of rock in her way. When the player reaches the end of the act, then they'll see a hallway that leads to a door with a switch. They will also be be given access to all five elemental shields before starting the next act. Unlike the other main stages in Freedom Planet, Pangu Lagoon does not have a midboss, so the player just heads straight through the door to enter the next act.

The second act takes place deep in the ruins that Lilac entered in the previous act. In the background, the player can see large structures hanging from the ceiling, but it is not known what they do. The player must try not to get lost, as this act is much more maze-like than the open-ended first act. The main obstacle of this section are the disappearing and reappearing block that appear above large pits. Although there are time gates in this act, they are not as common anymore, so Lilac must be more careful with her movement. if she falls down into the pit, she may have to face strong, bulky enemies called Terreons or swarms of Stingers and their hives. Each pit has its own unique block pattern above it as to keep the player on their toes. After finishing with the disappearing blocks sections, the player will then see floating swords that slam downward whenever Lilac gets near them. If they fall onto health flowers or bombs, they cause these objects to break apart. After one more section in which Lilac must travel through a lower area guarded by tough enemies, the player will arrive at a door. In order to open it, the player must perform three consecutive dragon boosts in order to reach a switch at the very top of the room by activating time gates in midair. The player then enters the door and begins the boss fight.
== Stage Boss ==

The stage boss is a fight against Pangu disguised as the Holodragon. It begins with Lilac entering the door only to fall into a large dark room with several time gates scattered about. Soon after, she sees the Holodragon and the fight begins. Lilac cannot damage the Holodragon directly; she must destroy the red balls on its back and then attack its eyeball when it begins flashing yellow. The best opportunity to attack its balls is right after it has done one of its attacks because it will then move to the other side of the arena, exposing its entire back to the player. The Holodragon has three attacks, its first one being digging down at Lilac with its claws, which can be dodged if Lilac moves to the left or the right of the claws. Its second attack is to turn invisible and launch fireballs at the player. If it does this, dragon boost to the right in order to quickly get away from the center of its attacks. It is also worth noting that the fireballs cannot hit the player in midair; they must be on the ground. The final attack is its dragon breath, where it opens its mouth and fires a power laser beam across the entire floor. In order to dodge this attack, the player must go through a time gate and dragon boost upwards so that they can stay in the air long enough for Lilac to avoid the entire attack. Once the holodragon is defeated, it shrinks down and reveals its true form as Pangu.
== Enemies ==
==== Regular Enemies ====
* Cacteon: Cacteons walk in one direction and damage the player upon contact. They do not actively target the player.
* Obelisk: Obelisks stay stuck to the ground and fire a laser at the player when they come in reach.
* Stinger: Stingers are fast flying enemies and come toward the player to hit them with their sharp tail. They can come out of hives that spawn more Stingers when the player hits them.
* Sunfloris: Sunfloris are bound to one spot and spew poisonous gas at the player. They can be attacked, but they regenerate so they can never be permanently killed.
* Terreon: Terreons are large, bulky enemies with spikes at their top so they damage the play upon contact. They bounce around the floor in an attempt to squash the player, and they create shockwaves that move horizontally that can also be damaging.
