Driven into a instinctive bloodthirsty rage, Harpuia has lost all control over his body to the Baby Elves. Every attack he's got is nothing short of vicious. Switch to the Ice Chip. You'll need to strike Harpuia's head to hurt him, and hopefully, bring him back to his senses.

Harpuia can pull off a sudden swoop at you, lowering his talons for the kill. Dash completely under and out.

If Harpuia flies offscreen, he's going to pull an unusual trick. He'll attempt to divebomb from the background and sweep around. Dash out of range before he does.

Harpuia sometimes pulls out two swinging electrical tethers that keep you from coming near him. Run away and try to take cover on the edge of the platform, withouy falling off.
Harpuia sometimes pulls out two swinging electrical tethers that keep you from coming near him. Wait for both to stretch out far enough to dash out from under him. The first one will swing back, and he'll bring out the second afterward. That's the moment to flee. You can also grip the side of the platform at your own peril.


Harpuia also has two gigantic wind turbines on his wings. When these activate, they create a wall of cyclones like his old EX Skill. Switch to Active Form and fight the wind, or this attack may push you to your death! You can also cling to the wall of the platform, but that's incredibly dangerous.

====EX Skill: Sonic Hurricane====
When his HP drops under half, Harpuia EX Skill comes out. He creates an atmospheric pressure bomb from his head crystal, then unleashes it. When it explodes, it mimics a hurricane vortex, sucking in pieces of the room. After it takes in a few tons, it reverses and spits them back out again. Try to stick to the edge of the room from underneath Harpuia while the junk continues to scatter. Keep the Z-Saber charged for any debris that comes close. You can clear away a lot with the Laser Shot, Triple Shot, or a Shield Boomerang throw. The Chain Rod's spin attack has limited effect if you don't have Power Form equipped. To play it safe, switch to the Power Form, just until the attack stops. You'll avoid damage much easier.


====EX Skill: Sonic Hurricane====
Harpuia's certainly become a raging storm indeed. He deserves this, but honor comes first. You have to save him! Give him a few strikes to head, and he's finished.
When his HP drops under half, Harpuia attempts his disorienting EX Skill.

==A Warrior's Plea==
With some short circuits, the Elves disconnect from Harpuia and he reverts back to normal. He's completely wasted, and very close to death. He can barely speak, but he commands Zero to protect Master X and the world from Elpizo. Zero understands quite well. Harpuia uses his reserve power to teleport to a repair bay. Only Zero is left to stop Elpizo...
 
You've narrowly escaped death, prevailed through over a dozen fights, collected the various Forms, Cyber-Elves, and EX Skills. Now comes the last, ultimate task at hand: Elpizo must fall! Your final encounter awaits in the sacred chamber known as Yggdrasil... Neo Arcadia's threshold.
