X-Blades/The Great Gates (darkness)

Ayumi and The Dark comes to a head with The Dark falling to his knees. Out of nowhere loud banging coming from the other side of the castle doors catches their attention. Suddenly a group of fireballs burst through the doors and revealing the culprit, Jay possessed by the dark magic. He leaps up and land slaming the ground with hand causing a shockwave that causes The Dark to stumble. Dark Jay then runs over to The Dark and leaps on top of shoulders, striking him with several spikes that eminate from the ground. The Dark colapse and the rest of his power is then transfered to Dark Jay, making him all powerful. With The Dark out the way, Dark Jay now sets his eyes on Ayumi who has her blades ready.

As the level gets underway Dark Jay will sumond several Phantoms as decoys, but first go around and collect the item in the area while avoiding the Phantoms and darkballs. As before, there is a Soul Diamond behind Ayumi, five on the circular landing, one on each stairwell, one at the foot of both stairwells, and one on both sides of ceramonial court. On the right balcony, from where Ayumi is standing at the start, is a Ruby Artifact piece and the left balcony is a Soul Ruby. From there drop down, head under the stairwell obtain a Gold Artifact piece. While down there, make it a point to bust up all the pots and vases for more souls. Now head back upstairs and bust the two cat statues.

Dark Jay will attack with darkballs like The Dark. He is empervious to physical attacks, yet he will freeze Ayumi if strucked at. For this battle light magic will have to be used, with Ray of Light as the best option. Use Ray of Light in any dirrection and the spell will automatically hit a Phantom, just like with the Spider Queen's insects earlier. Finish off the Phantoms and Dark Jay will be vunarable to attacks, so hit with a flurry of Ray of Light spells. After a while he will creat more Phantoms to raise his guard. Continue this until he is defeated.
