## Balanese Lyrics

(Transcribed by ThisismineIguess, no official lyrics as of yet.)

Ukravi gutien tamelan da

Ofitfi gutien tamelan na

Telu nu lunu kleim, gota hika ta aha na

ONARAK

Eha la gutien tamelan da

Ofitfi gutien tamelan na

Telu nu lunu kleim, gota hika ta aha na

OOOOOOOOOOOOOONARAK!

## English Lyrics

I was alone, couldn't find my voice

Lookin' for something to fill the void

Right when I was about to give up all hope

I ran right into you

Was sick and tired of the same old things

Walking in circles and stuck in the rain

At the end of my ropes, at my wit's end

I found you

Challenges, we have to overcome

Not as hard when we're one

When we're together, feels so right

When we're together, it's nice

This is the the place where I can be just

Myself

When we're together, feels so right

When we're together, it's nice

This is the the place where I can be just

Myself

Now I think that I know the strength of two

I feel like there is nothing I can't do

We're opposites but none of it, matters to us

At all

Challenges, we have to overcome

Not as hard when we're one

When we're together, feels so right

When we're together, it's nice

This is the the place where I can be totally

Honest

When we're together, feels so right

When we're together, it's nice

No one can take your place, yeah you know that much is true, oh

It's you

As their name implies, they are the bosses of the various Chapters in-game.

They are all composed of different Costumes from their respective Chapters (although very corrupted compared to what the Costumes were beforehand) to provide deadly attacks. Each of their composition also appears physically and often fits the theme of each Chapter.

In total, there are twelve Nega Bosses and one other boss (Lance).

## Gameplay

After completing and obtaining the two heart fragments from the Heart Trees, you can fight the Nega Boss of the chapter. There are no checkpoints during the boss fight (also can be considered as an Act), so you can not change your Costume, exit the boss fight normally, or re-spawn. If you lose all your Costumes and get hit again, you will be sent back to the Isle of Tims, unlike other Acts. You can exit the boss fight though the menu (except for Lance's). You can also choose your desired Costume(s) before entering the level, the same occurs when you enter a Third Act.

All Nega Bosses need three hits to be defeated, two Costume Crystals and Keys are provided in the boss fight, and if you lose the specific Costume while fighting, you can get another one when it spawns. Lance's fight has three phases, two (1 and 3) being where you hit him three times, and one (2) where it transitions to the third phase, and you lose all the Costumes you brought into the boss battle yourself. You can obtain three Gold Balan Statues from each Nega Boss fight by doing specific attacks with Costumes found in said Chapter.

You can bring a second player via Local Co-op mode into any of the boss fights.

Chapter 4 Act 1

**Chapter 4 Act 1** (called Chapter Four Act One in-game) is the first Act of Chapter 4.

## Summary

Chapter 4 - Act 1 introduces the player to the abilities of Soaring Sheep, Aero Acrobat, and Box Fox. There are Negati that can fly, and spiked Negati that can't be hit by normal means. There are also fans and balloons for you to use. The heart tree is behind the gate, which is guarded by a Mid-Boss.

There is 1 Balan's Bout in this Chapter's Act.

## Strategy

Bring attacking Costumes that have attacks that can home in on enemies, or can attack spiked Negati. Aero Arcobat can be used to jump to new places by homing in on balloons, though Costumes like Double Jumper can jump to those new spots without Aero Acrobat. Floaty Flower can also be used instead of Soaring Sheep.

## Statue Locations

* Statue 1 - Use Box Fox (or a costume that can beat spiked Negati) to defeat all the surrounding spiked Negati (on the floating area near the area with the Chrono Bunny Mirror)
* Statue 2 - Use Soaring Sheep or Floaty Flower to fly up the fan that is surrounded by two blue spike spheres.
* Statue 3 - Use Gear Prince or Gear King to activate the gear, then jump from the platform to the trophy and go back to the platform (as there is nothing underneath the statue.)
* Statue 4 - Use Soaring Sheep or Floaty Flower to fly up the fan to a small platform (found inside.)
* Statue 5 - Go through the Chrono Bunny Mirror with Chrono Bunny, freeze time (so the spikes stop moving,) and jump to the Statue.
* Statue 6 - After beating the Mid-Boss, use Aero Acrobat to fly up the path of balloons near the gate structure.
* Statue 7 - Preform perfectly in Balan's Bout.

## Costumes Available

You can find the following Costumes in this Act.:
