With the Thunder Gun, I head off to face the boss who has three pink screwdrivers in his captivity. The Metal God is the hardest boss so far, even after maxing out my level due to the amount of running back and forth I did. If you stand in front of him he fires dual lasers, and if he targets you with that crosshair he launches a pair of missiles with a wide explosion radius.

He's also the first boss so far to have more than one form; he removes the blue shields on his side and they hover at the edges of the screen, firing projectiles at you if you move parallel to them.

It was a close call (mostly because I stood there like an idiot and let him hit me a lot) but I eventually brought him down. And there was much rejoicing.

I also was told that the smithy could make me some "Ultimate Armor" if I brought him four rocks from each book world. I backtracked to the first and second worlds to have a look for them, and thankfully they weren't too hard to find; I talked to the townspeople to try and get hints, but instead one of them offered to trade me an object from another book world for their rock. I guess once I finish the 5th book world, finding the remaining two won't be too difficult.

Oh yeah, and what about the 3rd world? Turns out someone else finished it. Yep, some guy is standing in front of it and tells you that he's dealt with the problem, then gives you the ring that you need and some armor to boot. Allegedly this is the protagonist of the first Esper Dreams games. Quite an odd in-joke...
