A boss timing-out strategy may be possible as well, but that's very tricky. This clear also features heavy adaptive difficulty control: no unnecessary boss body parts have been destroyed until the final boss, and almost no power-ups were grabbed when already at max power (except for two accidental shields in Zones B and Z'). I even avoided some power-ups in Zone P instead of Z' because it's trickier to avoid them in Z'. Some tips for this route: -By only attacking Prickly Angler at point-blank range you can manage to destroy the boss with all its body parts intact--and prevent any unnecessary adaptive difficulty increases. -The Zone Z' miniboss is super helpful for surviving the later part of the stage. The longer you delay taking its control orb, the longer it takes for it to die when you need it. -Diagonal movement comprises reduced vertical and horizontal movement vectors in Darius Gaiden. You can use this to your advantage by pressing against a screen's edge to slow down your movement for precision dodging. This is very useful for squeezing between some of Crusty Hammer's tight patterns and outlasting Great Thing's tracking laser.
