For those playing at home, we are almost at the end of the game, and the stakes have never been higher! Congratulations on making it past the ghost’s frosty reception in the Icy Manor, but there’s no time to chill. Let’s not delay with a lengthy introduction, instead we will slide right into this guide!
I have to say that this boss encounter has to be my favorite so far, as it takes a less traditional approach to encounters so far. Head into the room and prepare to be confronted by the possessor ghost. In a bit of a crazy twist, the ghost possesses the ice to create a huge scary face that rocks the foundations, sending you and a mobile bomb thrower to the pit for some fast and furious boss-fighting action.
Phase 1:
The face will create an ice shield over it, and it’s up to you to blow the shards away. If you don’t do it fast enough, the ghost will shield itself again, forcing you to restart the phase. Blowing the icy shards away is all about timing. Pick your moments to lob the bombs, and once you have successfully destroyed the icy shield, the boss will try to devour you whole! Time it right and lob a bomb into its mouth, causing the face to crash and the possessor’s ghost to be revealed.
As usual, the possessor ghost will shield and charge at you, although this time it will teleport out of portals. Keep an eye on where these portals open up and do your best to avoid them. Once they charge a few times, they will break their shield and that’s the prime opportunity to flash them and vacuum them up with your Poltergust 5000. Prepare for the next phase.
Phase 2:
This phase is the same as the first, although there are more shards to destroy, making aiming and timing a bit more important than the last phase. Destroy the shield, lob a bomb when it opens its mouth to swallow you and prepare for the possessor.
The Possessor ghost again will shield. This time there will be more ice on the floor, making traversal a bit trickier. Avoid the ice in the center of the room and dodge the attacks. Once the shield breaks, flash and vacuum him up for the final phase!
Phase 3:
The final phase, and this time there’s a more intricate face shield which can be tricky! Take your time and learn the delay between launching the bomb and it hitting the target. Aim higher to hit the shards on its face, and bounce the lower hits to slowly break chunks off. Again, when it goes to swallow you, launch a bomb and prepare to finally defeat that pesky possessor!
The possessor ghost will once again shield and charge. This time, you will have much more slippery ice to contend with. Do your best to avoid it and once it busts its shield, flash and vacuum it up, securing the 2nd last piece of the Dark Moon!
