The final boss now shoots projectiles at the player. I tried adjusting the timing of when the boss shoots the projectiles, but I either have the boss fight being to easy or it being borderline impossible. I should probably accept that the game will have an anti-climatic boss fight.
I thought about having the boss drop some McGuffin item that will end the game, instead of just opening the staircase, but I don't know what kind of item it should be.

This man spent 40 years working on BSD. His code appears in #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, #NetBSD, and everywhere.
If you have used the Internet, you have used code he wrote.
RIP, sir. You changed the world for the better.
What's probably his last talk: "I don't have much to say," followed by a spellbinding eighty minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSziyKlG1ws
