Absolute Zero

Absolute Zero is the eightieth level in Jetshift, where players must face off against the Ice Monster. It is an incredibly difficult boss battle.

Phase 1
The Ice Monster will often roar and slam his fists down causing 20 (40 in Nightmare Mode) spikes to fall down. In Normal Mode, the spikes fall slowly and are fully visible. In Nightmare Mode, the spikes appear more quickly and fall at twice the speed, plus they are also transparent, making the fight in Nightmare Mode a challenge for even the most skilled players.

His attacks have less time between intervals in Nightmare Mode, making the fight almost impossible unless the hands are defeated.

Phase 2
 Hitpoints = 107,500 / 150,000 As soon as the Ice Monster drops below half-health, as well as raining spikes, there is a 50% chance that the Ice Monster will attempt to crush the player instead by slamming his fists together (dodgeable), making the bottom-middle of the level a dangerous place. This part of the battle can get very hectic as the player will not be able to camp in the bottom of the level, giving them less time to dodge attacks.

Normal

 * Intervals between attacks are longer, giving the player more time to predict what is coming next.
 * 20 spikes will fall after the Ice Monster slams his fists down.
 * The spikes are completely visible.

Nightmare

 * 40 spikes will fall instead of 20.
 * The spikes are almost invisible.
 * Intervals between attacks are short, making this boss battle challenging, if not almost impossible.
 * His hands are defeatable, but they do respawn after 30 seconds. Killing both hands will make his head have less defence, allowing great damage output.

Tips

 * A good strategy for Phase 2 is to stay above his chin spikes. This way, you'll never get crushed by his fists, but that still leaves you open to falling spikes.
 * Staying in a bottom corner while using the Homing Laser also helps to build up the Reflex meter, but makes the fight last a lot longer unless the player uses the Ninja Star.

Trivia

 * Absolute Zero is an intentional pun title for the level as it is set in a very cold environment, but not intentionally at absolute zero (-273.15°C, the number that scientists believe is the lowest point of temperature, but has never been reached).
 * The sprites for the boss were actually done by the creator, unlike the other bosses where one of his friends did the art work.
