Strategy
You will need to damage Geppetto’s hands before you can attack its head. Use Dark Hand or Dark Lance at one of its hands. Afterwards, the hands will move to the edge of the platform and shoot crossing lasers that you should jump over to avoid. Try to stay in the middle and jump over where the lasers intersect.
The boss will then do another crossing laser attack but will shoot beams from all of its fingers. This variation comes out very quickly but you can jump over it like the normal version with good timing.
When the hands move closer to its head again, continue pummeling the hand that you started attacking. Geppetto will do another crossing laser attack that starts at close range and spreads outward. Wait for the lasers to spread apart and move closer to Geppetto’s head. Use the time that he is still spreading his lasers out to attack his hand again.
Geppetto’s hands can also detach to hover above you before they crash down on you. Run to get outside of his hand’s shadow to avoid taking damage.
Geppetto will then summon robots to the arena. Take them out quickly with Dark Hand. After the robots are dealt with, the boss will then call out turrets around the platform. Use your weapon while staying on the move and jumping over the projectiles to destroy them.
When Geppetto’s head remains, he will begin firing missiles at you. Run around to avoid them until he opens his mouth to shoot a concentrated laser that goes sideways. When his mouth is open, grab some bombs from where the turrets appeared and throw them at his weak point to damage him. This is the only time you can damage his head during the fight. Repeat the process until Geppetto is defeated.
