2 Lasers forming an X, intersects at right angles. It rotates either clockwise or anti-clockwise. Direction and speed of the laser can change. Once touched, you instantly die.

Recommendations
Note: This list may be inaccurate since it is only made by video observations.
 * Ignore Hard Mode. It is impossible to defeat at this moment. Nexon has indirectly hinted this while announcing 5th Job.
 * Always enter in a party of 6 people as the boss HP is ridiculously high. If 6 people is unachievable, the bare minimum is a Bishop and about 3 capping Kaiser (better with Ryudes Sword) or Wild hunter or Phantom, all with a very good control.
 * The attackers must be dealing about 150 million damage every second on average per attacker (for 6 attacker party) or about 200 million damage per second on average per attacker (for 5 attacker party with a supporter like Bishop), assuming that Lotus is attacked about 90% of the time.
 * Bishops are very important as they have the Heaven's Gate buff, giving you extra lives. You are only allowed to die 5 times and most of the time you will die more than 5 times. Heaven's Gate buff instantly revives you with full HP the moment your HP reaches 0 before the death count is reduced.
 * Phantoms can use their Palombre skill to dodge the vertical laser and Magicians can use their teleport to dodge all the laser. Mercedes can use their Rising Rush Combo to dodge the horizontal lasers. However, other jobs have almost no way to dodge so they must have superb control.
 * The bottom right platform portal is connected to the top left platform portal and The top right platform portal is connected to the bottom left platform portal. Use these to dodge the lasers as well.
 * Heaven's Gate cooldown is only 3 minutes (10 minutes after post-Maple Heroes Blockbuster patch). If you happen to die when the cooldown is about to be finished, it is advised to stay dead until the cooldown is up so that the Bishop can give you the Heaven's Gate buff when you revive instead of risking your life trying to survive while waiting for the cooldown to wear off.
 * At the core stage, only revive after the vertical laser has moved past the spawn point or else if you revive too early, you can instantly die as the laser will deal damage instantly when you revive.
 * Laser deals damage every 0.5 seconds so if you have instant revival skills and you accidentally touched it, move away from it immediately as it might cost you a life.
 * After core stage, platforms may fall occasionally. Avoid those platforms while they fall and step on it when they reached the ground to avoid the lightning shock skill.
