Introduction

I want to make this guide simple to follow and help everyone obtain the achievement easily. Thank you for checking out this guide (I hope it helps solve your problem).

Settings

If you are playing with a controller, change the dash button to one of the triggers, such as LT on Xbox or L1 on PlayStation, If you are playing on a keyboard, don't change anything because the Shift key is comfortable enough. The reason for this change is that you don’t need to switch weapons while in mini-plane mode.

My settings:

Boss fight

The boss I found the easiest is Hilda Berg. You should set the difficulty to Simple since there are no restrictions for it.

Charm

I recommend using Astral Cookie ( if you have the DLC ) because it gives you 1 hp and it has no downside. --o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o--

If you don't have the DLC, your options are limited. If you're struggling with HP, use the Heart charm, but if you don’t need it, avoid it since it reduces your damage by 5%.

First Phase

The first phase is the same as phases 3 and 5. The difficult part here is the laugh attack, which can be very annoying, so I recommend shooting the boss's forehead. When you're above the mouth, the laugh won't be able to hit you. Just follow the boss's movement while staying centered on the forehead. (A little advice for phases 3 and 5: try to use your maximum range. When the boss throws a tornado, you'll have more reaction time to avoid it).
Bull phase

There’s not much to say here - just follow the movement of the bull, and when the animation starts, dodge the attack.
Twins phase

Same as the bull phase—follow the movement of the twins, and when they throw the ball, dodge the bullets. Continue following their movement while shooting.

Thank you again for checking out my guide.
