[[File:Life Force stage2 screen5.png|left]] [[File:Life Force stage2 boss2.png|right]] If your familiar with the arcade, you may be surprised when the stage continues to scroll along after the three fortress cores are destroyed. You must pick one of the core alleys as the screen scrolls, and blast your way through pink dirt (shown left) until you are clear. Then the Tetran, the boss from the second stage of the arcade, will also appear. The Tetran shares a feature in common with the Fortress cores you just fought; it possesses a power core protected by three shields. You must remove the shields and blast the core to destroy it. Aside from this similarity, the Tetran is very different. Nearly round, it has four tentacles made of spheres that rotate around the ship while the ship itself moves in clockwise circles. One touch from its tentacles will kill you. While the Tetran moves rather close to the edges and corners of the screen, it is possible to safely remain in one of the lower corners of the screen early on, and then fly back underneath it when it begins to rise on the screen. Blast it from underneath for as long as you can, and then retreat to the safety of one of the corners again. However, the Tetran slowly progresses down the screen, so if you wait too long, the lower corners will no longer be safe, and you'll have to fly around to the top of the screen to avoid harm. | [[File:Life Force stage2 screen5.png|left]] [[File:Life Force stage2 boss2.png|right]] If your familiar with the arcade, you may be surprised when the stage continues to scroll along after the three fortress cores are destroyed.
