Hanged Man Rage Mode

The Rage Mode of the Hanged Man boss fight is thetrickiest one out of every Void Intercept battle. The rage gauge of this boss will fill up over time, and if it reaches 100 percent, the boss will launch anunavoidable one-hit KO attackthat will wipe out your team. The only way to avoid this fate is by pulling out the cube located beneath the boss.

You can only target the charger on the boss’s mouth while the rage mode is active. When the gauge is depleted,you should return the cube to end the enraged stateof the Hanged Man.
