Aten-Ra

Aten-Ra is the ruler of the Amarna. They are also the Guardian of the Dark Star Lord's Mausoleum.

Glossary Entry
''The combined forms of the colossal weapon Aten, and ruler of the Amarna, Ra. It is said Aten-Ra is able to create life using the power of the sun. It is anyone's guess as to how many powers a fusion like this could manifest.''

Revealing the Ankh

 * You first have to talk to Horus in Gate of the Dead (E-5) and say, "That's right!"
 * Then, Amen-Ra will show up in his room at Dark Star Lord's Mausoleum (C-5) and disappear.
 * Return to Horus' room in Gate of the Dead.
 * Walk into the door at Dark Star Lord's Mausoleum (C-6) and the Ankh will be unlocked.

Note: Amen-Ra won't appear if you enter the Dark Star Lord's Mausoleum through the Corridor of Blood; you must unseal the Yggdrasil Gate in the Gate of the Dead to make the Ankh appear.

Mechanics
Aten-Ra mostly stays out of harms way, protected by the megaweapon he has merged with, only letting down his guard after doing a slam. This ultimate fusion give him powers of creation.

Strategy
This boss is massive and spawns a ton of enemies. Thankfully, they don't take down very much HP. Try to keep their numbers down if possible.

Aten-Ra spreads out a bunch of arms from his body, which you need to destroy. When all the arms are destroyed, he smashes the ground with his huge body. Stay on the sides when this happens, because the smash can OHKO you!

After the smash attack, he drops his guard and starts attacking you with his beam attack: This is the only time for you to go on the attack. Repeat the process until he's dead: The enemies he spawns, though many, don't hurt very much.
