Lunatic

Firstly, note that the entire stage is tap-streaming, except for the small fairies that appear:

  • right before midboss Kutaka,
  • and after the big fairies that come after midboss Kutaka,

and except for the big fairies that fire the static star pattern from Stage 2. The small fairies fire a static pattern with a safespot in the bottom-middle. Thus, for survival on Lunatic, aim not to waste bombs throughout the stage, by streaming conservatively in all parts except for the exceptions listed above. Avoid unnecessary movements, since no static portions overlap with any streaming.

Due to almost all the patterns in this stage being aimed at you, collecting tokens will be very difficult on Lunatic. Try not to enter Roaring Mode more than once before Kutaka, so that you can preserve many beast tokens, and then collect Otter tokens during Kutaka's midboss dialogue. If you get five Otters, you should be able to easily sustain Otter's Roaring Mode for the whole fight with the help of excess tokens, allowing you to trivialize her midboss nonspell while collecting the Rare Beast Spirit of this stage. Its reward (1 life piece, 2 bomb pieces) is extremely valuable for resource management on WBaWC's Lunatic mode. One trick is to use a bomb right before entering Otter's Roaring Mode - defeating Kutaka with a bomb will still give the Rare Beast Spirit so long as Otter's Roaring Mode is still active.

The big fairies at the end that fire the static star pattern from Stage 2 each release one beast token when defeated, but they can be overwhelming if you defeat them all in a short time span. One survival option is to let the first one survive the whole way, since subsequent ones only come in when the current one is defeated. However, if you would like more tokens, then you can shoot them down. Memorize their spawn positions so that you don't have to look up while dodging the dense pattern. Their positions are:

  • directly center,
  • very slightly to the right from the center,
  • slightly to the left from the center,
  • and almost halfway towards the right from the center.

Secret

The level's secret Rare Beast Spirit is Chick. It is rewarded for defeating the midboss whilst in an Otter Roaring Mode.
Once consumed in a Roaring Mode, Chick will change the Roaring Mode timeout rewards to:

  • 1 Life Fish;
  • 2 Bomb Fish;
  • 1 Point Fish;
  • 1 Power Fish.

Overall, it's recommended to go for this secret.
All that is needed in order to obtain this Rare Beast Spirit is memory and a bit of foresight. Not counting Beast Spirits created by Roaring Mode timeout, 8 Spirit Items appear before the midboss (3 of them being Fish: bomb, power and point). This should give you more than enough room to start a Berserk Roaring Mode during the pre-midboss conversation. Be sure not to get hit or to cancel Roaring Mode, as Roaring Mode needs to be active when the midboss is defeated. If you want the rewards given by this Rare Beast Spirit, do not collect it during Roaring Mode.
