Dusky Eclipse (stage)


 * This article is about the stage itself. For the song of the same name, see Dusky Eclipse.

Dusky Eclipse (薄暗い日食) is the third stage in Chuhou Joutai: The Middle State of War. It is part of the recruit's mission to find and destroy the SPASDOT base in Kozankyo.

Background
The stage takes place entirely in a forest.

Enemies introduced

 * Caterblaster
 * Sparnet

Recurring enemies

 * Pacoonba
 * Catamine

Opponents

 * Unfriendly Friend (midboss, name not official but mentioned in pre-battle cutscene though)
 * Damausagi (boss)

Strategy

 * Do not move when the sparnets attack, as doing so can get you trapped in danmaku.
 * When you see a caterblaster, they'll undergo metamorphosis if they see you. You cannot kill them during this state, but you can once they're done transforming.
 * It is recommended you kill caterblasters as quickly as possible, as the endless amount of danmaku they spew can become very dangerous if not killed.
