NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams - Queen Bella

Queen Bella is the boss of Memory Forest and the last boss before challenging Wizeman himself. Like most of the other bosses, she can't be harmed directly, in this case because she's always out of NiGHTS's reach. She's also one of the Nightmarens who applies her powers outside of her duels with NiGHTS, as she apparently has the power to resurface and distorts other people's memories, putting Helen in at least a bit of psychological trouble as she goes through Memory Forest. NiGHTS calls out Queen Bella to battle one more time, this time with a few changes to the arena.

What you originally had to do was destroy the platforms underneath Queen Bella, causing her to fall into the lava below--she's the only Nightmaren in this game who can't fly. You'd do this by catching the silk balls she emits, then throwing them back in some direction. They'll bounce and ricochet off of platforms, destroying them. You win the duel once all of the platforms Queen Bella stands on is gone. In a way, this is kind of like Breakout.

Queen Bella does everything the same way: She crawls around on the top circle of platforms, providing NiGHTS with silk balls. All the changes done here is to the arena. The first thing you'll notice, if you saw the chase mission through Memory Forest, is that there are now four levels of platforms above the lava pool instead of two. There are also two more changes: The battle begins with the lava completely exposed, meaning the balls that NiGHTS throws is more likely to disappear for good; the original battle could have a single silk ball bouncing around until all the platforms are gone. It won't be happening this time. The other difference is that there are now platforms that require two hits from the silk balls to vanish. To help speed this up, some platforms contain big rocks that come out (the game calls them iron balls), which are harder than silk and can destroy these thicker platforms in one hit. They come in a limited supply, however.

This battle is a lot of luck. The controls are all strange when NiGHTS flies between layers, and since this is all about stuff bouncing around, it's very very hard to predict where these balls will go next. As I was eroding the ground beneath Queen Bella, another silk ball happened to come by and eliminate the remaining platforms.

Now that I've put up all six of the "revenge" boss battles, next up are four missions in the game where Will and Helen must wander through the game on their own. Two of them involve Will and Helen together; the other two are about Helen trying to find NiGHTS.

I was replaying this to get a C, and by accident I beat her in 21 seconds. I don't even know how. I think I threw a silk ball like sideways, and it kept bouncing up and down. Idk. It was epic.

@Webkinzrule615 There is an exact angle you can toss from where you begin that destroys all of the ground beneath Queen Bella's feet. The record is around 9 seconds, I believe.

Bella is one pretty spider.

@AnneMarieBarkin Oh thank god. I saw her face and I thought to myself "Dang, she looks pretty good." I was worried I was the only one.
