Chancellor Pulsating Mass

Chancellor Pulsating Mass is the boss of southern King's March and the final boss of the Everchip area. It is an imposter of the chancellor to the King of Kingland (you can meet the real one in a cell prison next to yours in Blob form, after being punished for shaking a knight as a Goon). He is used to mind control the king into trying to imprison your party earlier on.

The Chancellor fight is unusual for this point in the game in that his attacks are based purely on which form the player is currently taking. In addition, starting at 50% HP, the Chancellor will take an extra action every four turns to Mind Control one party member, causing them to randomly attack one of your allies for three turns. If the Chancellor is Startled, this mind control will instantly go away, although you still won't have control over the affected ally until the next turn.

## Strategy

Chancellor Pulsating Mass is a tricky boss. Its ability to switch abilities based on the player's transformation will often confuse people who are battling him for the first time. Due to this flexibility, there are also many ways to beat him, mostly depending on the form. There is absolutely no reason to be in vanilla Jimmy form, however, and you shouldn't be because that allows the Chancellor to do anything at any time.

### Bird Form Strategy

* Stay in Bird form for the first half of the fight.
* While Jimmy is in Bird form, two of the Chancellor's attacks are physical based, and one of them hits three separate times, this means that Lars is able to do insane damage by using Counter Stance.
* You want to make sure you're metabolizing/healing Lars with Helga, preferably Metabolizing because the Chancellor can hit Lars with breathtaking speed before Helga can heal.
* Jimmy can be using Rampage/Ghost Fire, whatever damaging move you have.
* When the Chancellor hypnotizes Lars, use Annoying Squawk to remove the mind control and keep using Counter Stance.
* When the Chancellor gets low enough HP or when he racks up too many alerts, go ahead and switch to Bear/Vampire/Ghost and finish him off with high damage attacks.

### Blob Form Strategy

* Start the battle in your blob form with rampage and a buff skill (such as Mental Clarity, if anyone gets poisoned) as your active skills. Start by poisoning the chancellor, and try to keep him poisoned thorough the battle.
* Have Lars use undulate, then use Counter Stance to shield yourself in case Chancellor decides to drill through your defense, which should deal only 120 damage to you.
* Because of this, Lars will take a lot of damage. Have Helga use high five to keep this in check, and when not, use abilities such as black spiral to damage Chancellor. Lars should use undulate constantly to be the main target at all times, so make sure to check on Undulate's duration.
* While Lars is targeted, have Jimmy use sticky phlegm to slow Chancellor down, as well as Rampage. Because Chancellor will be targeting Lars, Rampage's stun will not be an issue to Jimmy, and you'll be able to deal massive damage.
* When he enters his phase of hypnotizing, he should hypnotize Lars due to Undulate. This will render him unable to use counter or other abilities, but he will prevent your other party members from getting damaged at least. Heal him with Helga.
* Repeat this process until Chancellor is defeated.
