... Doing a little research, "Summum" is a faith/religion which derives from Latin "summus", meaning "highest" - and in the context of the faith, is referring to "the sum of all creation". The faith itself is based on a proposal for the inherent laws regarding the nature of Creation, but most of its teachings seem a little too specific and/or irrelevant to draw a connection to this unique individual here. It seems that this dragon is a more literal reference: it's described as "nearly perfect", and is the only Green encounter to be completely stable - the others sort of shimmering between either of their Dark and Light halves, and them described as "unstable". Summum here also appears in vastly different detail to anything else, in how they visibly appear to be 3D, and have details and texture along the shapes that compose their form. I'd imagine, considering Summum's few lines, that they're another potential "apex" of this universe, an equal to what the our two characters have amassed by working in perfect tandem. Summum even sits atop a summit of sorts, atop a difficult platforming challenge that sends you hurtling all the way back to the start if you fail. Summum is a naturally arising "ideal", while you perhaps are something more... unnatural, choosing to communicate with your counterpart rather than absorbing them. And Summum, the zenith of anything that can happen in this natural world, seems to be testing you to see who might be more capable of confronting... whatever higher being is encountered at the very end. Maybe they're suggesting something you can't do - but it's possible they might also be providing some context for the end, where the universe is reborn, but as something... very different than before. You chose what to create, rather than letting the higher power simply try whatever this "experiment" is yet another time. ... It's also interesting how Summum's little domain resides so far off the rest of the map. Perhaps they were powerful enough to create an entire space, all of the challenges required to simply reach them a test to determine if you're even capable of confronting them to begin with (since when they first appear, the characters seem to wince and collapse in the mere presence of Summum).

Sick execution. A couple of extra tips: -Bow Technique and Whip technique are both the best to deal absorption damage. Use both. -Abuse Assist every turn with both characters, will help breaking "blocks" and dealing extra absorption damage when on x200% -All magics lvl2, regular Bow attacks and Seal attacks deal a good amount of absorption damage, sprinkle more of them and not repeat too many sword/melee attacks to devalue their absorption properties. -Both Guard Impact-Counter and Assimilation-CounerSpell are useful to interrupt the enemy's turn and will negate "block" regeneration or reset of type of "block", making it easier to keep track of what kind of attack to use. -Both Whip and Axe can break their "block" type with ease, best to use when wanting that than regular Sword/Melee strikes (unless you want to charge a technique) But yeah, congrats on beating the hardest boss of the game! Made to be a true test of skill and planing!

A tip for this fight is you can test weaknesses faster by teleporting and then using Seal because seal reveals the magic based weaknesses

Thanks to this guide i had more trouble getting to the boss than fighting him,

Official media states that this game takes place in a newly formed universe, where the laws of reality don't yet exist, and that these beings are "trapped in an eternal conflict by the polarising nature of their attractions." Leading me to believe this game is symbolic of the war between matter and antimatter that occurred in the first microseconds of the universe. The prevelance of matter versus antimatter is something of an unsolved problem in physics, and this game symbolizes that journey to becoming dominant. Summum, then, might represent a perfectly "ideal" universe, where matter and antimatter are equal. But that then would lead to them destroying each other, leaving only dark energy in the universe.

A small but easy tip for this fight is that if the body that got stolen has a hand/sword charge, it will always use the charge as its first attack. So an easy counter would be to give the orange character a charge and then give up his body, and if you have a charged shield on blue, you can one cycle that section by using (in no specific order) 2x max lightning, 1 sword charge and like, 2 swings and the section is over damagless. I haven’t found a one cycle for the orange character but I don’t use them that much apart from the essential times

I've found something that will VASTLY improve your experience with this fight: The red guy's seals reveal all the blocks that need magic attacks

Thanks for the pointers in the beginning, as i never used orange defensively it completely changed how I fought. Couldn’t have done it without your help

R1 triangle + L1 triangle is goated thanks for teaching me that man

That dual attack at the end there will never not be cool

7.27 you mise play almost lost the recovery was beautiful.

Btw mega flare does kill you if you have too little of hp Like everything less then The 2/3 of The bar below is insta death

Small correction, if you have low enough health, Mega Flare kills you instantly (One health bar and quarter is good enough I think)

Thanks for the tips and fight example. I manage to beat it in a dozen tries. Just I'm a bit sad that it is so tough compare to the others enemies because I went to the training room after and all extraordinary battle seemed so easy. Oh well, at least it is fiting for a final boss. And funny thing, since I change the controls the super move have the same input as the other combine move xD I will have to figure something out for that.

it took me 9 hours to beat him... i have a small excuse - i've had about 75% of max hp and i didn't have all skills. but i'm glad i finally did it. hard but fun and well designed boss p.s. and i didn't know about seal

when i first played the game inthought summum was literally god

Great vid! By the way, how do you quickly teleport down as a knight from mid-air to follow up your combo? Whenever I try to, I just fall down after my mid-air combo...

Thanks foe the guide. Question: how i unlcok this boss? I went to this world, but Summum doesnt show up as one of the battles i can do. I beat the game and got all the nodes from around the world. Do i have to individually fight every enemy again in this room?

What is that special ability at 1:04?? I haven't seen it before and I'm not sure how to get it

Hey I have a question I keep dying during the mega flare attack how do I not die when he does that attack

I haven't beaten this thing yet but it'll probably be hell How long did it take you to beat him originally?

Do you need a full health bar for Mega Flare to only set you to 1 hp? In all of my attempts so far Flare has just outright killed me.

How are you stunning them out of the mega flair? No matter what I do it never works. 5:40 for what I mean.

can you influence whith attack boss will throw out whith block. or he will attack whith a kill move ever time he can. or random.

mega flare has been one-shotting me every time, how did you manage to survive it?

The better question is HOW DO U GET UP 2 THIS GUY?!?!?! IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

belive it or not, but evertime at this moment, then he use the mega flare, it kills me. no 1 hp left. don't know why. maybe my hp is to low at this moment, that it kills.

How can I fight Summum? I have beaten three green absortion enemies.

I can't use any of my green abilities in this fight, Assist doesn't work, instant switch doesn't work and unified division doesn't work either

please if you know tell me .

The Giga Flair is always a one hit kill, even from full health, for me :/

Took me 2 hours to beat him
