-Level Description

**La Danse Macabre** Is The 1st Extra Level In Rockstarfoxy6000's Beatswap AU. It Is An Encounter With La Danse Macabre Boss. This Is The First Level To Be Created By Rockstarfoxy6000 & Brendan1970.

## Layout

The level starts out by growing a small circle on the middle of the stage that fires twelve more circles in round formation. Not before long, a series of ten specters float to the middle circle, which forms the boss of this level. Like the circle before it, the boss fires 12 circles around nine times.

After so, the boss attacks the player with two big black holes which also fire twelve circles around it, in sequence. Then it teleports all across the stage after a warning circle, which it'll do it four times, before teleporting to the middle and firing a wave of circles in a circle clockwise. Then it repeats its aforementioned attacks, barring the last one. After that, it teleports back to the middle.

The boss then summons a scythe next to it, as it moves around. The boss summons five scythes before stopping them and teleporting back to the middle. The boss summons six specters that float around in orbit as well as two horizontal circle walls that block the top and bottom of the stage. It fires twelve circles around six times before firing six beams that turn counterclockwise, before firing circles eight more times before using its teleport attack. After its teleport attack, the boss teleports to the middle and fires five waves of circles clockwise before summoning one scythe that moves around. It then later summons seven duplicates of the boss ontop of the screen, for each one summoning a scythe and dropping it down to the stage. After this, it repeats its scythe attacks seven times. Before teleporting to the middle and fading away along with its scythes, with five specters taking its place as the level ends.

## Trivia

* *La Danse Macabre* is the theme of The Lich Yard, in where Specter Knight is fought in the main campaign.
* The vertical beams that are added to phases 1 and 3 in Hardcore may be a reference to the Phantom Striker, the boss for the version of this stage found in the game's Specter of Torment campaign, in which he attacks with lightning that functions in a similar way
* *La Danse Macabre* is one of two bosses that seem to have no connection to the main antagonist. The other being Barracuda.
