Freedom Planet

Prince Dail is the End-Boss of 2 Stages in Freedom Planet, where he pilots 2 different machines.

Sky Battalion: Kujacker

"You will face justice! Surrender!"

- Dail, ordering Team Lilac to surrender

Dail's Kujacker
Found In	Sky Battalion
Health Bars/Petals	None
Preceded By	Varies by Airships: Spade (Lilac) Chopper (Carol & Milla) Satellite Grappler
Succeeded By	---

In Sky Battalion, Dail rides the Kujacker, a peacock-like robot that he uses to lead his troops into battle.

Behavior

So you have chosen death? How Pathetic!

- Dail, after Team Lilac refuses to surrender

As the Player returns to Zao's Airship after disabling all the enemy cannons, Dail appears on the Kujacker, attacking the Player from there. It'll fly around randomly, launching an attack afterwards. Its weak point is its head, which is protected by the blue spheres on its plumage. Once its head is damaged, the Kujacker will fly off-screen and attempt to dash into the Player. After its head is damaged 4 times, the blue spheres on the Kujacker's Plumage will turn a shade of red during its 5th and final phase, signifying its near defeat. The Metal Shield Crystal can give the Player a big advantage in this Boss Fight, able to protect them from the Kujacker's Electric Attacks.

"This is far from over!"

- Dail, after the Kujacker is heavily damaged

Once its defeated, the Kujacker will be heavily damaged (but still flight worthy), forcing Dail and the Sky Battalion to retreat, ending the Stage.

Attacks

Behold my true power!

- Dail, using the Kujacker's strongest attack

Attack	Details
	Electric Ball The Kujacker can generates a ball of electricity that moves towards the Player. Milla can deflect this attack with her Barrier Shield and Cube Shield.
	Gust The Kujacker will slightly ascend, creating a small twister that can blow the Player off of Zao's Airship. The Player can resist the force of the Gust by running against it. If playing as Lilac, it is recommended to not use the Dragon Boost, otherwise the Player will risk falling off Zao's Airship during this attack.
	Peck Attack After its head is damaged, the Kujacker will fly off-screen and quickly flies through the side to peck the Player, flying up or down varying on the Player's position. It will alternate its dash starting position coming from the left and right directions and will rush through the sky a total of four times in a row before returning to its natural, vulnerable state.
	Electric Surge The yellow spheres on the Kujacker's plumage will turn yellow, becoming briefly invulnerable. Afterwards, it charges up all of its energy and unleashes a surge of electricity in 8 directions. The smaller, harmless light beams are a precursor to where the larger harmful energy surges will be unleashed at.

Battle Glacier: Shade Beast

"It's such a shame that you chose the wrong side. Enjoy the last few minutes of your pathetic lives!"

- Dail's Monolouge from atop the Shade Beast

Dail's Shade Beast
Found In	Battle Glacier
Health Bars/Petals	None
Preceded By	Wretchnid
Succeeded By	---

In Battle Glacier, Dail rides the Shade Beast, an eyeless, spherical monster made of multiple Shade Cores that he uses in an attempt to stop Team Lilac from entering the Dreadnought.

Behavior

Dail sits on top of the Shade Beast and is protected by a Metal Shield. Before the Boss Fight start, he will monologue, leaving him vulnerable to an attack. Once the Fight begins, The Shade Beast will move its head left and right, high above the Player and keeping Dail safe. After a while, it will lower its head to charge up a powerful attack, but also leaves Dail vulnerable to attack. Whenever Dail takes damage, the Shade Beast will spawn Beast Irises to aid in the fight.

"NOOOO! My Beautiful Creation!!!!"

- Dail, upon the Shade Beast's defeat

Once defeated, Dail will fall off the Shade Beast and watch in horror as his "Beautiful creation" explodes in front of him. Before Team Lilac can celebrate, Dail attempts one final attack, but is thwarted by his brother Spade, forcing the Prince to flee the battle.

During this Boss Fight, there are 2 dirt spots, so Milla can Puppy Dig to get 2 Shield Crystals: A Metal Shield and an Invincibility Crystal. There is also a Fuel Tank, so Carol can get her Motorcycle if she doesn't already have it at this point.

Attacks

Attack	Details
	Homing Death Cards Dail will throw 2 sets of Green Death Cards that home in on the Player, pausing briefly before moving again.
	Metal Death Cards Dail will throw a set of Metal Death Cards that unleashes a charge of electricity vertically, similar to the Kujacker's Electric Surge.
	Aura Burst The Shade Beast will lower it's head to the ground and charges energy until it unleashes a burst of Aura Orbs that can Stunlock the Player. This attack will also leave Dail vulnerable to attack.
	Iris Spawn After Dail takes damage, the Shade Beast will spawn a group of Beast Irises to attack the Player. Each one can drop a Life Petal upon being defeated.
