this was randomly found by @ultraeon (very good tower speedrunner) when practicing the boss. if you hit the boss on the very first frame of their laser animation (seems that precise), and that hit triggers the last phase of the boss (phase 4, one hit after the drop with good pace), the boss seems to enter a state where it's actions are duplicated. what these actions are and when they happen depend entirely on rng, but you can probably have any combination, even wilder than what i showed here. this is likely to save quite a bit of time on the final boss, but as the world record holder i am NOT trying that LOL
