Deadstorm Pirates

This is story related and can not be missed if you finish the game!

This must be done in ARCADE mode! If you are having problems with it, then set the difficulty level to Very Easy. If you are still struggling after that, then keep starting a game and let yourself get killed immediately so you get game over as it will then give you get 2 additional credits for the next playthrough on that difficulty (they accumulate after each attempt, so just keep going until you feel you have enough to get you through the level).

Boss:

The boss of this level is a phantom pirate with 2 forms.

First Form:
At the beginning of the battle, the pirate with teleport around the deck of the ship and you must hit spots on him before he attacks. He will then teleport close to you and you will very quickly have to hit the spots on him. Next he will teleport around VERY quickly, then appear above you and you will have to attack the spots before he lands. After you do that, he will open a ton of portals around the ship that will spawn a huge number skeleton enemies. Once they are all defeated, he will re-appear in the air and send floating skulls at you that you must destroy while trying to attack him in between. After hitting him, he will begin teleporting around the deck quickly again, then appear right next to you with spots to hit before he attacks (he will do this 2 times in a row). The third time he does this, he will appear in the air above you. After that, you will have to do a quick wheel action challenge to finish him off.

Second Form:
He will send flying skulls at you until he gets close and then he will open his head/mouth (you'll see) and you have to shoot the different segments of it before it attacks. It will repeat this pattern, but each time it opens its head/mouth, the spots will be in different spots, be more of them or both. Keep repeating the process until he falls.
