Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe - TRUE Magolor Soul Boss Fight (True Arena Final Boss) No Damage

[@aWiibo]

This boss fight has a new phase from what I recall. I don't remember this in the original anyway. Given that the true arena of the remake is pretty difficult (21 bosses this time around.) I cheesed this boss fight with the stone ability as there is no way I will do this without anytime soon. I should clarify, all magolor epilogue boss fights are included in the true arena. Rounding it up to 21.

[@tripled2096]

They moved all the super ability attacks into a second phase, and added a few more based on the new abilities. Pretty neat touch.

[@blueboltbomber8786]

Something I genuinely love about this fight is the transition detail from his first to second phase. He loses his eyes before the eyeball in the center takes over, giving that feeling that Magolor genuinely succumbs to the power of the crown itself even further than before. Also really feels like him throwing out that apple for kirby is like his last breath, before he falls silent and the Master Crown overpowers his will.

[@mephilisthedarkelijahramat182]

It also adds more to the dark matter aspect of the master crown

[@孫其暐]

Looking back, I was sort of hoping that after the eyes are gone, the mouth would complete open up and took over the place where Mag's eyes were, and the eyeball will stare directly at us, or gaze tracing on the pirority player, sort of serving as a Drawcia Soul throwback, idk, too scary of a concept for Kirby?

There’s no doubt in my mind that Dark Matter and the Crown are intrinsically connected. You even see the form of the Master Crown be used by Void Termina in all of its fights, meaning that the Master Crown must’ve been a reincarnation of Void Termina, just like Dark Matter was.

[@ultraalpha69]

Void Termina uses Master Crowns in its boss fight in Star Allies, implying that he created the crown to begin with. Considering Void is also the progenitor of all matter, Heart, Dream, Soul and *Dark*, and Magolor Soul's eye, this implies that the Master Crown is a Dark Matter entity. Also, since Kirby: RTDL takes place before Star Allies, it's entirely possible that the orb in the background is actually Void itself, watching you.

Throughout the fight, you can hear strange noises. Presumably Magolor calling out to you. His vocals were drowning in the soundtrack throughout the fight, as though his will was drowned by the crown itself.

The pause menu text revealing the Master Crown has always been evil, giving people endless power while devouring their souls in the process is very cool. I also like that during the final phase, the text changes to Magolor smugly saying that if Kirby saves him he will come back to toy with him, which then leads to him eventually having a genuine change of heart and getting redeemed during Magolor Epilogue, destroying the crown for good. It also makes his dialogue in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe where he says "I'll take over the Dream Kingdom!...haha, just kidding. Did I scare you?" much more meaningful in retrospect. Also, fun fact. During the second healthbar the music changes. Some instruments get more echo/slightly different, the choir becomes louder, and you can hear Magolor's glitchy voice.

[@FluffiestPrince]

I rarely see anyone talking about it, and it was in the original, but the detail of the portal in the back slowly getting bigger and closer to Popstar is such a fantastic detail that adds pressure and actual feeling of "this has to be dealt with fast" which is really great. This whole game has just been making one of the best Kirby games already, even betterer.

[@FluffiestPrince]

@vadok It really depends if they remake Robobot. I personally like Return to Dreamland more, but I can't deny that Robobot probably has way more potential to outdo RtDL's Remake with story potential for Susie and Haltmann. I love Magolor, but Haltmann is probably the best written character they've made in the series, so it'd be amazing to see some prologue or epilogue related with Susie and him. Not to mention the potential for a 17 phase Star Dream fight.

The main mode is a scenario where Magolor doesn’t tap the power of the Master Crown and as a result we get the unnamed form, where the unlimited power of the Master Crown isn’t that powerful. In extra mode we get a scenario where Magolor taps the power of the Master Crown and, as a result after his initial defeat, transforms into Magolor Soul. However, here he holds the unlimited power of the Master Crown back to avoid at least putting things harder for Kirby & co… Unlike the true arena, where we get a scenario where the unlimited power of the Master Crown overwhelms Magolor, to the point where when he was supposedly defeat, the Master Crown takes full control over Magolor and traps him inside the husk he had become. Now, without someone to hold back the Crown, it’s ready to destroy Kirby and friends, and all Magolor can do is cry for help.

This can be interpreted in 2 ways 1)This shows how Magolor soul is the canon version since in here we see how Magolor got stuck into that place to begin with 2)however here we don’t see the crown break, quite the opposite since it stays on Magolor… probably is foreshadow or prelude to something since we now know the multiverse in Kirby is real

If you think about it, there is an entire story event happening in this fight. It's not told directly, but once you piece things together, it becomes all too clear that something is going on. While Magolor Soul's initially just an 'oh fuck' moment, this phase completely recontextualizes everything in what seems like to be an alternate scenario of the fight. For Magolor Soul, there has always been this sense of hopeless despair but it was also coupled with a bit of determination and decisiveness--no matter what happens, Kirby is willing to fix the situation the best he could. That is what he is best at. Here, however, there's no sign of that determination or decisiveness. Taking the song from Star Allies, there is granted still some of that little spark of awe just in the overall vibe, but all around they also seem to emphasize on the more darker vibe especially in this one. It's almost desolate, overwhelming and depressing. That's not to forget the whole Magolor begging for help thing happening in the background, his voice sounds really weak and pained. He was clearly struggling to get his words out beyond the darkness. Then there's the description in Phase 2 showing Magolor speaking in a casual pompous way, asking Kirby to break the crown so he could 'toy with him again' as if he was planning to make amends with him once they're done, and all that after venting about how he was angry at him. It seems to imply, purely because of its usage in this phase alone, that Magolor, in the midst of his complete despair, has decided that he has given up and wants Kirby to stop it all (likely because he just wanted to survive). It becomes extremely heartbreaking when you consider the notable events that happen in here. Firstly, the phase transition in the end where it seemed like Magolor Soul lost consciousness for a moment before it roared and an apple fell out of the eye, presuming to be Magolor's final attempt to help Kirby before he is gone forever. And secondly, whatever happened in the end where the crown was anything but shattered, we may just be witnessing the worst case scenario to Magolor. The scenario where Kirby fails to free him, the scenario where he is completely overtaken by the Master Crown and ultimately, the scenario where he is (most likely) dead. With all that in mind, this may have been the most tragic/disturbing Kirby boss fight yet, especially since we know Magolor for so many years prior and just when we also got the new mode that was basically his redemption arc. And this is just a heavily tweaked/reworked (with a few new moves) boss phase! How crazy is that? How HAL managed to shove so many deep information into subtle details for such a seemingly indifferent fight is admirable.

Meaning Magolor has been fully possessed by Zero who is residing in the Master Crown. Why Zero you ask? In the wikipedia of Villains Wiki, the eyeball looks exactly like Zero's. Which might imply Zero is still alive or his last remains are hiding within the crown. After entering phase 2, we see that Zero has completely shut Magolor's eyes closed. Which means Zero has full control over both the Master Crown & the one who is wearing it himself.

[@PaulRodela]

@@spongebobsquarepants1072Another detail I like is how initially it looks like magolor soul is smiling, once the top eyes close, you then realize the eye in the mouth is actually making a angry look.

This whole boss battle was revamped. The attack patterns and even the song is different, they even added a second phase, and honestly, it makes the original Magolor Soul look like child's play Also, if you listen closely, you can hear grunts, but not from Kirby at all

One thing are the mods made by fans, which are obviously going to be harder than the original deal, and a completely different thing are the official games. *And then* there's this moster. Holy crap, I wasn't ready to see this beast unleashed, because the mere fact that it comes _just_ a little close to the likes of Unfair Magolor in an offcial game is insane; this is probably going to surpass both Planet Robobot and Star Allies as the hardest Arena in the modern Kirby games.

[@Paradoxe_0]

If we assume that the intended way to play the true arena in star Allie’s is solo, than Void’s still harder. This guy is still a close second tho

Imagine if RTDL Deluxe might have an expansion pack with a 4th adventure mode! Where you venture through a dimension generated by the Master Crown’s death, expelling it’s cosmic energy in the form of a singularity leading to it’s own world, letting you fight *Master Bosses!* Each with their own lore! The levels might be as follows: *1. Malice Meadows - Nature in it’s own “nature”* *2. Aggression Alleys - A dessert of “locusts”* *3. Glistening Glory - A sea of “angels”* *4. Outland Offensive - Mountains of “demons”* *5. Lordly Landmark - The castle above the heavens* *6. Omniarch’s Origin - The crown’s labyrinth* *7. Royale - The domain of the Master Crown* And the final battle will be against… *The Master Crown’s Sentience!* The same Master Crown that you “fought” during the end of True Arena, after being banished by “another Kirby”. Now, the crown’s sentience has to set “their” Magolor free!

At the same time, one of the descriptions of Void says that he exists in all dimensions, so... In addition, when you want to fight Void Termina again in the story mod, the level and represented by a black hole, in reference to the super nova (see hyper nova) of which it is at the origin, forms that of the nicknames of Void is , and that concretely, Void looks like an all-powerful idiot who is at the origin of everything... that reminds me of something.

[@expertdesperado6]

A second way to cheese Magolor EX, Soul, and True phases in simple steps: Step 1: When in the lobby before the bosses, Grab the Sand ability. Sand has a perfect block, and can do good damage. Just don’t get reckless. ( Getting too close to Fiery / Fatty puffer, and trying to block Magolor’s black hole ) Step 2: BE PATIENT. If you are too rushy you will get hit very easily. Step 3: Try to conserve as many heals as possible, and only use them if you are very low on HP. Step 4: When you finally get to Magolor EX and Soul, use ⬆️🅱️ a whole lot. This attack has good range and is also very good for taking out the doomers. If my info is wrong please tell me, as I have used the steps to overcome the True Arena myself. ( It should work. )

[@monitorlizardkid8253]

Okay, here's my fan theory: the Master Crown and Zero Two are both connected to Void Termina, and Zero, who was de-powered to the point he was basically a ghost after his last defeat, used that connection to manifest his remaining essence in the master crown, we even get more evidence towards this after Magolor's eyes disappear leaving only the big red eye, which is probably zero, after Magolor soul is defeated and the master crown is destroyed, Zero's essence is banished from known space(back to the hyper zone and powerless) but it leaves an "imprint" in the crown's fragments, and thus the Mistileteinn(tree-crown without a ruler) incident happened(for those of you who don't know, that thing was created when the crown's fragments possessed the gem apple.) In short, Magolor soul was Zero Three all along! Well more like Zero Two and a half.

[@GamesbiteRtDL]

[@KiExx0]

This is so different from the Magolor Soul fought in the main story mode that I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t they change his appearance and give him a different name like they did for Void Termina’s variations? Idk, something like… Magolor Ultima? Or Chaos Magolor? Not sure why they’d change the fight so drastically yet keep the name the same. The only way to distinguish the fights now is “the one in the extra mode” or “the one from the true arena.” Doesn’t quite roll off the younger if that makes sense. I wanna see some name ideas for this second variation of the Magolor Soul fight, if y’all got any.
