Avoid Spamming Heavy Attacks

It's recommended to avoid spamming Mr. Blackhole with heavy attacks, as it's difficult to abrubtly cancel a Heavy combo when Mr. Blackhole suddenly charges up a shockwave attack.

Charge Sword When Boss Warps

Make sure to always charge your Beam Sword when Mr. Blackhole warps away. It's easy to do so while dodging his attacks during this time and he's invulnerable during this period, so there's no point in using it for attacks.

It ensures you can keep spamming him with attacks when he reappears and can be damaged.

Avoid Black Holes on Ground

The black holes on the ground reduce about 2 rows of your health if you get sucked into them. They're relatively easy to avoid, as they're stationary the whole battle, but you may lose track of their placement if you're solely focused on mashing attacks on Mr. Blackhole.

Just make sure to always keep an eye on where you're running, which means not running towards the camera, as the camera doesn't show you what's in front of Travis when running in that direction.

Follow Jeane in Space

To find Mr. Blackhole in space, go to the black hole that Jeane is walking towards. You have to pass through 3 black holes before you can approach Mr. Blackhole. On the 3rd black hole section, Jeane will be asleep. Try out each of the black holes and if you choose wrongly, just make sure to dodge.

Use Laser Cannons

During the space battle, use the laser cannons to deal massive damage to Mr. Blackhole. While waiting for it to charge, you can use the missiles to destroy black hole projectiles and inflict minor damage to Mr. Blackhole.

Mr. Blackhole Attacks and Abilities

Land Battle Attacks

Warps through black holes

Mr. Blackhole disappears into a black hole behind him. 2 other black holes then appear and he shoots himself through them. This is done thrice before he returns with a ground slam from a black hole above.

You can block Mr. Blackhole as he shoots through the black holes and even attack the projectile, but Mr. Blackhole takes no damage during this time.

Shockwave circle

Mr. Blackhole releases a shockwave in a small circumference around him, which incapacitates you for a short period when caught in it.

The short charge up to this attack is denoted by black and white lights flashing around Mr. Blackhole. This attack can be avoided by dodging away from him before he releases.

Arms extend from black holes

Mr. Blackhole creates multiple small black holes around you and quickly extends an arm out from them one at a time. These attacks can be blocked. You can also deal damage by striking the hands as they appear.

Shockwave blasts outward

In the Red Phase, Mr. Blackhole releases outwatrd a large shockwave blast that knocks you backward. This attack can be avoided by maintaining a distance when Mr. Blackhole starts sucking in energy then jumping when the shockwave blast travels past you over ground.

Black holes appear on ground

In the Red Phase, Mr. Blackhole summons black holes on the ground around the battlefield and they remain until the end of the battle. Walking over it sucks you into the black hole for a short time and reduces about 2 rows of HP.

Space Battle Attacks

Fires black holes

Mr. Blackhole creates black holes then launches them at you. The black holes can be avoided by flying in any direction, but due to the amount of them, it's recommended they be shot with lasers until they disappear.

Arms extend from black holes

Mr. Blackhole creates 2 black holes and extends his arms through them. His arms then appear from 2 black holes that form beside you and attempt to sandwich you between his palms. This attack can be avoided by flying vertically.
