## Overview

Only so much is known about **Fantoccio**'s actual fight in-game, as the only appearance of it so far is in a public test build.

### Cutscene

The fight starts with a cutscene with Fantoccio losing his temper with Billie, before telling her that they are going to "La Grande Finition" or the grand opening of the show. The scene cuts to the stage before beginning the song, and starting the fight.

### Phase 1

In Fantoccio's first phase, he will shoot an array of small fireballs that will damage Billie if she is hit. He then releases a giant fireball in sync with the song. After this, multiple mops will sweep across the stage, requiring the player to jump over them as they sweep past, with two being released at opposite ends of the stage. After the mops are gone, Fantoccio will release a giant version of his fist slamming into the ground, causing a shockwave that the player will need to jump over. When the fist raises up the mops return in the same attack pattern, then leading into the chorus of the song, where an extra hand is added. These hands will emit a string, which if Billie is caught in them Fantoccio teleports next to Billie doing a dance as she copies him. This will also damage her. After the string disappear the two fists slam down creating another shockwave which can be easily dodged. When the chorus is over, Fantoccio starts charging a flashing pink and yellow ball, which will hone in on the player. The player will have to deflect it back using the Wooden Sword at the puppet before going to attack him.

### Phase 2

In this phase, a couple of enemies are thrown in from the audience, requiring a quick strike from the sword to defeat. Fantoccio will release a couple of fireballs before lining up the two hands in a clap position, trying to crush Billie from the sides. After the hands collide, the curtain will open to reveal a pirate-ship-like environment, as Fantoccio changes from his moss green cloak to wearing a white lace shirt, black pants, a belt seemingly containing pirate weapons like a flintlock, and he wears a hook and peg-leg. The mops will make another return, this time with buckets of water falling on top of Billie in the same fashion as the fireballs. As the line *"'cause Sharkspeare's looking mean!"* is said, Sharkspeare is dropped in the right corner of the stage, creating a hole that remains for the rest of the fight. Cannons fire in the background to start the chorus again, as the hands return, again doing their usual cycle of trying to grasp Billie with strings, and slamming on the stage. Fantoccio does his honing attack which the player will have to deflect multiple times before knocking him down. He even mocks Billie by saying *"Haha! Missed me!"*.

### Final Phase

This time, the stage transitions to a sort of circus atmosphere, with Fantoccio changing into a red vest over a white long sleeve shirt, Grey/Beige pants with long dark brown boots and a top-hat on his head. The hands will try and squish Billie once again, this time doing it twice hinted by the line *"Better move, cause here's another!"* in the song. He will shoot a couple more fireballs before pulling out a golden glowing electric guitar. He will strum to the beat of the song, causing shockwaves to appear below him as debris falls on the stage, which will have to be destroyed by the player as it clutters up the arena limiting space. He continues this cycle until a barrage of mops will appear for the last time, this time they all come from both sides. The chorus will start up one last time before cutting to a line art cutscene as the real ending to the fight is not animated yet.
