At long last, you have come to the final stage ofSonic X Shadow Generations. This battle is a rematch against someone some fans may recognize from the 2005 titleShadow the Hedgehog.Black Doomhas been pulling the strings of Shadow’sDoom Powersthe entire time, leading him into becoming the monster that he set him up to be. A good number of the villains inShadow Generationsare a part of theBlack Arms, which played a role in the third-person shooter (yes, you read that right). Without further ado, let’s shoot straight into the boss battle.
Review: Sonic X Shadow Generations
Sonic X Shadow Generations looks back to the past while providing a glimpse into the future of the iconic franchise.
Phase One (Devil Doom)
Shadow comes face to face with Black Doom once again, who has been waiting for this moment. Shadow remarks how this will sever the ties between them, then Black Doom transforms intoDevil Doom. The battle ensues with Shadow transitioning from hisDoom WingtoDoom Surf, which will have a sequence exactly like the one inMetal Overlord, where you will hitLBorRBto slide into the bombs in order to send them back to Devil Doom. There will also be a ramp on the left side that will haverainbow ringsleading right to Devil Doom, where you can hit him in the eye.
Collect as many rings as you can while going down the spiral roadway, then hit the incoming bombs back to Devil Doom. Another ramp will appear on the left side again, which gives Shadow another chance to attack. At the50%HP mark, Devil Doom will open a portal that leads to a stage that sets Corruption scattered across the sky. Make your way across the platforms by swinging withDoom Morphand attacking him once you get to him. Each time will see the stage change but still utilize theDoom Morph. Once Devil Doom reaches0%HP, Shadow will go for the kill, only to be met with a new form:Neo Devil Doom.
Phase Two (Neo Devil Doom)
This phase will have you using theDoom Wingand will start you off at100 rings. Make your way through the obstacles set up by Neo Devil Doom and collect the rings as you progress, since theDoom Wingsuse those. Dodge the incoming blue spears then go through another set of walls. Take this next moment to refuel on the rings, since there will be10 point ringsas you descend towards another empty space between the buildings.
Neo Devil Doom will send more blue spears, which you will need to clash with in order to hitDoom’s Eye. He will also use his tail to swipe at you, so look out for that move. The next sequence will have Shadow ascending up a building to collect rings, then back to dodging tail attacks. Neo Devil Doom will bring back the walls again but will also introduce a black and red chute that Shadow can use to gain speed and hit the enemy. Continue to speed up at the end and keep hitting Neo Devil Doom until he reaches0%HP.
If he isn’t at 0% HP at this time, it will bring the walls back and continue the cycle until the end.
To finish Neo Devil Doom off, Shadow usesChaos Controland hisDoom Wingpowers to damage him. As much as Neo Devil Doom wants Shadow to accept the fate given to him, Shadow lets him know that he is in control of his own fate, and proceeds to destroy Neo Devil Doom once and for all. The battle ends with Shadow losing hisDoom Powersand theBlack Armsare eliminated from theWhite Space.
