Immediately after beating the boss Discourse, obtaining the fifth page and taking a mandatory death, you'll be back at the main menu. Start a new playthrough and you'll start in your house, head right, but be unable to proceed. Head up to initiate the final boss fight of the game, which is broken up into three phases. Thankfully, if you die you will start back at whichever phase you died during, not back at the beginning.
The first phase consists of the scarecrow and some enemies turning into invincible balls and rolling around the screen. Dodge them, focusing on the scarecrow's ball, and when they turn back to normal hit him as much as possible. Repeat this process until he's dead.
The second phase is just a chase sequence like you've experienced with the Bad Idea boss. Dodge everything and once you reach the end, the scarecrow will die again.
The third phase is very similar to the first except it's more chaotic. I found that this phase is heavily dependent on either your patience or RNG. In addition to all the enemies and balls, a random item will come across the screen after each cycle. These powerups are random, but can heavily influence the fight. For example, my successful run involved me getting three attack speed increases right away. This allowed me to do massive damage to the scarecrow. I recommend that you ignore the regular enemies (they respawn infinitely anyway) and just keep moving alongside the scarecrow, damaging him whenever you can. Once he's finally dead, you'll be done with the fight and receive your final page.
