Strategy
Hook gains some new moves during the fight against him at the Memory Server. The boss will now be able to teleport around the battlefield and use new forward charge attack that you can avoid by dodging or running to the side. As with the previous encounters with Hook, focus on attacking his legs to damage him.
Humanoid shapes will eventually appear around the area that shoot out projectiles in all directions. Run away or jump over them to avoid getting hit. When the attack gauge on Hook appears, you will not be able to do anything. Hook will shoot a massive beam from its tail that leads into a scripted black screen.
After the cutscene, prepare to take on Hook again. Use Dark Whirlwind to protect yourself from the orb projectiles that fire from the corners of the area. Keep focusing all attacks on Hook’s legs afterwards (having Dark Whirlwind active speeds this up). Aim for the attack gauge when it appears to end the fight.
