*Previous Stage: Final Dreadnought 3 | Next Stage: None*

Milla Basset

**Final Dreadnought 4** is the twelfth and final stage for Lilac, Carol, and Milla in Freedom Planet.

In the story of Freedom Planet, Lilac goes up to the top of Brevon's dreadnought to face him head-on. Brevon and Lilac exchange a few words in which Brevon offers Lilac a chance to leave with her life, and Lilac refuses. In the end, Lilac beats through Brevon's robots, the Absolution and the Power Suit, and then beats Brevon herself. The dreadnought then explodes and Team Lilac escapes. unfortunately, Brevon also escapes and the Kingdom Stone is destroyed.

If the player chose Carol, then the same story plays out but with Carol instead. If the player picked Milla, then Milla arrives at the top of the ship and sees Brevon alone, without Lilac. She asks him where she is and he tells her that he has killed her. Milla then fights Brevon to avenge her friend. She beats through Brevon's robots but then Brevon grabs her by the neck and picks her up. Before he can strangle her, Lilac appears out of nowhere and attacks Brevon with a dragon boost. The rest of the story afterward plays out normally.

## Level

The final level starts at the bottom of a vertical room that the player must climb up. While climbing up, they will see blocks that disappear and reappear back in their original place. These block must be used to get higher up the chamber. The player will then see a teleporter and be taken to a new section of the room. This upcoming section is effectively the same as the previous one, but this time there are teleporters littered about that take the player all the way to the bottom of the room. When they get to the top, they will find several gravity gates that take the player upward and to another teleporter at the top of the section. This teleporter, however, takes the player to the next section of the level rather than the bottom of the room again. After this, the player travels a short distance to the right and downward, running past Shade Elites and Gatling Guns to the next area.

The second half of the level takes place in another vertical chamber, but this time there's a twist. There is now a giant, powerful laser that goes through the center of the chamber that can kill the player in one hit. Great care must be taken by the player to avoid getting caught in its blast. Along the way up, several enemies will be present to harass the player along the way, especially the DNA Cannons, whose blasts can push the player into the laser. As the level goes on, it will force the player to move inside the blast radius of the laser for longer periods of time. Eventually, the player will reach the top of the chamber and be able to progress to the right, where they go through a twisty hallway with lots of Beast Irises, DNA Cannons, and Spider Beamers. After this, they enter Brevon's room at the top of the ship, where the final boss of the game takes place.

## Stage Boss

The final boss of Freedom Planet is a fight against Lord Brevon himself. The fight itself goes in three phases. The first phase against the Absolution, the second against the Power Suit, and the third against Brevon without his robots. This is also the only fight in which the boss actually has a health meter that is visible to the player, as the green and orange pillars to left and right of the Kingdom Stone are the health bars for the Absolution and the Power Suit respectively, and Brevon's health bar appears on the bottom left corner of the screen during his phase. The first phase against the Absolution is very similar to the fight with it in Battle Glacier, but this time it has a few new tricks. It can now fire missiles that move horizontally in the direction of the player. It also now has an acid cannon, with fire several bubble of acid from the bottom of the Absolution and fires it downwards. When these bubbles touch the ground, they split in two. After the Absolution does either of these attacks, it will fly of and attempt to ram itself into the player. In order to damage the Absolution, the player must attack the button-looking object on its "head" and attack it a certain number of times. Because the amount of damage that the boss takes is the same no matter the attack, the player should use light quick attacks in order to damage it quickly.

After the Absolution is beaten, the next phase will begin against Brevon's Power Suit. The Power Suit can quickly move from one side of the arena to the other and can also fly through the air on its jetpack. Its main attack is its laser cannons, which shoot five lasers directly at the player. It can also dash across the stage and leave a trail of fire in its path, and charge up its energy to release a violent blast of particles from its center. The Power Suit's fastest attack is when it curls up into a ball and ricochets of the walls, ceiling, and floor. Because the Power Suit actually has a proper health bar, it is best to use stronger attacks against it, unlike the previous fight. If the player picked Milla, then it is an effective strategy to stay in one place and reflect all of the Power Suit's projectiles right back at it, only moving to get out of the center of the charged attack. After the Power Suit is defeated, Brevon jumps out of it and prepares to fight the player himself. The first and most devastating attack that he will do is slashing the player with his knife, which takes out over half the characters' health. Whenever he does this attack again in the fight, it will always following a low-damage shot from his pistol. Throughout the fight, he will also throw bombs onto the ceiling and the floor depending on which one the player is closest to. His final attack is his cape attack. Brevon will turn green and become briefly invulnerable to all damage. He will move diagonally down to the left, straight up from the center, and finally diagonally down to the right. If the player picked Milla, then they will not have to go through this third phase, and the boss will be over after the Power Suit is defeated.
