A Rose in the Twilight

Story related. Can’t be missed.

Viola is the second and final boss of the game. You will get to her after clearing the Path to Abyss.

Phase 1:

• Some red lines will appear. Before these lines turn into thorns, make sure Rose stands between them so she won’t get hit.
• After some time, Viola will cast lines that will go from right to left. As Rose, go to the left and wait until the thorns disappear.
• Soon after, a bloody bat appears on the left besides Rose. Absorb the blood and try to reach the white sword on the ground. Be careful though as she can cast some more red lines followed by thorns.
• Give the absorbed blood to the sword and switch to Giant. Pick it up and throw it at Viola. She will fall and you can pick her up and throw her into the middle.

Phase 2:

• This phase is basically the same as the first phase, but with a dirty trick by Viola.
• You still need to avoid the red lines followed by thorns, but the key is to switch to Giant as soon as you notice a red line on Rose’s head.
• When some crossed red lines appear on Rose, switch to her and get away from them.
• Viola will cast the same red lines that go from right to left like in the first phase. As Rose, get to the left to be safe.
• A bloody bat will appear under Viola on the right. Get to her, but be careful since you still need to avoid the red lines. Absorb the blood from the bat and transfer it to the sword on the ground.
• As Giant, pick up the sword and throw it at Viola. Afterwards, throw Viola to the middle.

Phase 3:

• Pick Rose up as Giant and go to the left to avoid getting hit by the thorns that go from right to left. Soon as they disappear, immediately run to the right and safely put Rose on the ground.
• Stay Giant until the crossed red lines appear on Rose. Get out with Rose and switch back to the Giant.
• A bat will appear above Rose and Giant. Wait until it’s safe and throw Rose at the bat (be careful or you will throw her off the platform!). Immediately switch to Rose, absorb the blood and transfer the blood to a sword on the ground.
• Switch to Giant, toss the sword at Viola.

Phase 4:

• Make sure Rose stands at a safe spot and switch to the Giant.
• As Giant, pick up every sword on the ground and throw them at Viola until Blanc and a bloody stone appear.
• Switch to Rose, absorb the blood from the stone.
• Back to Giant, throw Rose at Blanc, switch to Rose and give the blood to Blanc.

Don’t forget to collect the Blood Memory after beating her AND before the fight ends as it is the last collectible of the game. If you don’t pick it up, you will need to do the fight again to get another chance to collect it.

Here is a video of the fight in case you prefer to watch the mechanics:
