So, remember Stage 12? Welp, we're going to destroy another Dark Stone so the game uses this as an excuse to reuse assets from that to where we play pretty much the exact same stage again, just with different puzzles and now involving Tenkai. Same deal as that stage, destroy the generators, get keys, manipulate the elevator, then go through the laboratory like area to reach the same boss we fought in Stage 12.

54:25 - Mitsunari Ishida 2 - Nothing new added to his repertoire at all, so there's really no reason for me to go in depth here again. But make sure you don't wear yourself out fighting him, because he's just the first boss of this area.

1:00:32 - Claudius - Now we fight Claudius, the true form of the Genma Lord controlling Mitsunari. He's a big, giant, flying centipede monster. Neat. Claudius can be a bit annoying to fight. He starts in a phase where he flies around the arena and then attempts to flyby whoever you're playing as and ram them. You can technically hit him as he flies by but it's so damned impractical you may as well just focus on dodging and absorbing the poison flames he drops while flying by you.

His next phase has him create a portal below your feet and then rise up to ram into you that way. This is a much easier phase to hit him in as you can just run to avoid the attack and then turn around immediately to slash him up. If you hit the orb at the end of his tail, he'll be frozen in place temporarily and allow you to cut him up for a while. Fast attacks are best for this, so you may want to switch to someone like Jubei for it. Tenkai, as we'll find out later, can demolish Claudius. Roberto would be good for it too if he weren't busy punching the Dark Stone to rubble. I can only imagine Ohatsu and her rapid fire gun would be ideal for it too.

During this phase he can also rise up his tail and start to power up for an attack, but you can prevent it by just slashing him up enough before he does it. I've never seen him do this attack so it's pretty easy to prevent. After we defeat Claudius, we'll have finished Stage 15. We're really coming up on the end here now.
