BOSS: Mephisto 2nd Form: be in the air when he stomps the floor, pixie ring helps. Alternate attacks between the two front legs, attacking the one that isn't about to smash. When they are both black move on to the back legs and do the same. When they are all black from damage Mephisto will drop down and get back up. Do this 2 more times(for a total of 3 times) to kill this form.
BOSS: Mephisto 3rd Form: whale on the key on the left, then the key on the right, ignoring the lasers is faster, but you can run along the wall to dodge them. When they are gone attack the center key, tanking the damage. You shouldn't have been hit from the first 2 forms of Mephisto, so health here is important, and use the panaceas when you're about to die. When all three keys are broken, stay in the corner near the hole where the arms come out of, you'll be safe from the attacks here, and run along the wall to dodge the lasers, attack his head when it comes forward. It takes a long time, but it just takes patience.

Since last year, a small community has been active and found countless of optimizations and a few skip while researching Alundra 2. Now, new runners start to emerge and have already beaten the game by a big margin, gaining more than 20 minutes over the previous run!
