Shadow Labyrinthfollows a typical Metroidvania structure where it takes you to a bunch of rooms in a new area to obtain specific keys just so you may enter the boss chamber, defeat it, and move on to the next area until you reach the end. However, the game still doesn’t feel repetitive because of unique mechanics in each part.
Pink G-Host: Guileness Laia is one of these final bosses in the areas, but it’s not a particularly difficult one if you have just one trick up your sleeve. This battle can take a long time, but it’ll also be the one where you get defeated the least.
Where To Find Pink G-Host: Guileness Laia
After you gothrough the Giant Black Towerfor the first time in Shadow Labyrinth, you’ll fall down to the Land of the Fugitives at the end. Going through this land will introduce you to the main hub in the game where you can purchase various items. However,you’ll also be asked to head over to the Frontline Base here.
You’ll find the Ping G-Host: Guileness Laia boss at the end of this base, and you can see itsrough location on the top right side of Frontline Base Front in a secluded part. You’ll have to go through a bunch of different parts of this base to finally reach the boss fight.
How To Defeat Pink G-Host: Guileness Laia
The body of Guileness Laia can be divided into two parts:
The general mechanics of the fight simply require you tododge different attacks performed by each grapplewhile consistently dealing damage to the boss. When you’re damaging the core, the stun bar also rises fast, making it possible to stun this boss with ease. Here are the attacks performed by each grapple:
The boss changes phases after losing about 20 percent HP each time, with thethresholds being at 80, 60, 40, and 20 percent.
The grapples on the battlefield also change whenever the boss changes phases in the following order:
1
80-100
2
60-80
3
40-60
1x Blue, Green, and Yellow Grapple each
4
20-40
2x Blue Grapple and 1x Pink Grapple
5
0-20
1x Blue, Green, Orange, and Yellow Grapple each
With all this in mind, there’s one simple trick you can use in this battle. As you’ll notice,all the Grapple attacks have a red shine at the start,which means that you can parry them. If you parry any Grapple attack outside of the pink one, it’ll get dismantled for a few seconds, giving you time to hit the boss.
Of course, the time you have will reduce with phases since there will be more Grapples,but you’ll barely have time to use any attacks if you try to dodge them. As long as you parry all the grapple attacks, you can easily defeat this boss. Moreover, as soon as you enter the last phase, you can use your Gaia mode to get through it.
Pink G-Host: Guileness Laia Rewards
As you’d expect from a boss with multiple Grapple attacks, that’s also your reward after this fight. Once you get the grapple, you may use it topull yourself towards a shining blue orb suspended in the air, the blue grass on the walls, or different enemies.
This ability will unlock a ton of places that you couldn’t reach in the previous areas, so it’sworth checking back after you get it.
