Giga Gaia

The last line of defense for Lumila is Giga Gaia. She presumably transforms into it as a final act. When it's defeated Lumila is shown exhausted and coughing heavily.

## How to get there

As the boss of Gigacocoon, Giga Gaia is part of natural progression and is impossible to miss.

## Attacks and patterns

The fight has two phases:

- Phase 1 is where Giga Gaia has two giant guns

- Phase 2 is where those guns are destroyed

Both phases

* Eye glints and a yellow beam comes down on your location, a small yellow projectile then follows the beam, and if hit stuns you.

Phase 1

* A giant laser stream, starting in the center and gets as wide as 90% of the screen.
* Left gun firing 17 bullet streams up in a very wide arc and come down between the center and far right of the screen.
* Left gun firing 4 bullet streams up in a narrow arc and come down left of the center and far right of the screen.
* Right gun fires a single broad laser beam centered at the gun.
* Right gun fires a set of 7 laser beams centered spread evenly across the screen at fixed points.

Phase 2

* Eyes firing two laser beams at the ground from far left to far right.
* Center piece firing 7 bullet streams up in a wide arc and come down across the width of the torso.

The first phase starts with Giga Gaia shooting a screen-size blast from each gun. This is usually combined with a stunning eye attack.
This 'attack' is followed by a blue laser stream that starts at the center and grows to become as wide as 90% of the screen.

After these two attacks, each of the guns start attacking without any pattern to timing or attack type.

Once the guns are destroyed, the torso becomes vulnerable and phase 2 begins.

With the guns destroyed, Giga Gaia now uses both eyes to fire laser beams at the floor, sweeping left to right.
The other attack is a bullet stream fired from the center of the chest.
Both attacks cover the width of the torso

## Strategy

During the opening of the first phase simply move to the left of the screen. The attacks are huge, but won't reach or damage you.

Nearly all attacks of phase 1 (both bullet streams and both laser beams) can be passively dodged by standing directly next to the big guns on the side towards the center of the screen.
The only attack that requires active dodge is the stunning eye attack. This attack has two visual cues and a warning 'pew' sound. The stun does not damage you, but you cannot attack or move leaving you vulnerable to other attacks.

Damage the left gun, dodging the stun as often as you can (no blue laser streams). Once you've destroyed it, move to the right gun. The same mirrored position (directly left of the gun) will keep you safe form the blue laser streams.
Each gun has about 2000 HP, so it may take a while before they're destroyed.

Once both guns are gone, the torso can be damaged and Giga Gaia will finally start taking actual damage. Stay on the right of him to have more time to dodge the laser beams by moving to the edge of the screen.
The bullet stream leaves wide enough gaps to keep attacking, just don't get caught between two streams: the laser beams WILL hit you then!
Stay on the right side and move to the edge some seconds after the bullet streams start. You have plenty of time to damage Gaia once these streams are over.

When you get the health bar down below 2500, the guns spawn back and the fight restarts with phase 1. Move to the left and repeat the fight until Gaia is defeated.

## Reward

One of three endings (one for Eloen and Gadiel, one for Renna, and one for Nue).

If you haven't got the Xenon Valkyrie your playthrough ends here.

If you do have it you'll get a different ending for Eloen, and eventually face Deftos, God of Destruction.
