This boss has three cores to destroy. If you are powered up with full options and missiles, the slowdown can be taken advantage of to make things easier. If you are not, the laser attacks after destroying two cores will probably be too difficult to avoid. Instead, you may wish to attempt to time the boss out until it destroys itself while braving several rounds of the slightly-less-dangerous reflecting lasers. When all cores are destroyed, you will move on. | This boss has three cores to destroy.

If you managed to kill the top hatch at the start of the fight against the Iron Maidens and have 4 options, it is possible to kill the cores quickly. For that, you have to get to the right edge of the screen as soon as the Iron Maidens are all destroyed, which is impossible to do safely if the hatch is still there. Then, simply move back left as the scrolling resumes, while staying as close to the wall as possible. Your options should be on top of the boss when it appears. You will only have to dodge a few of the bouncing lasers before it dies.

You may fail to kill it before it closes, but dodging the next pattern should be manageable with slowdown, and it should be dead very soon at this point, as you can still destroy them even when it's closed. | ||
