Mirage is a boss from Stretch Panic and one of Linda's twelve sisters. She can be fought after the second batch of sisters are defeated; it costs five points to initially enter her arena.

Appearance[]

Mirage takes on the appearance of a bandaged mummy with golden adornments. She has a teal colored neck piece and belt. Her golden headdress has purple and green eye patterns. Her hands are red and have wrappings around her wrists.

Manual Description[]

Mirage always enjoyed Egyptian culture and mythology. In her vision of perfect beauty she pictures herself as mummified temptress in a sarcophagus outfit. Mirage uses the desert to her advantage, creating a tornado of sand to chase after Linda. If only there was some way to make the sand turn solid...

Strategy[]

Mirage is fought in a vast desert setting, containing various stone structures buried in the sand and a couple of small water pools. Although the arena appears to be incredibly large, figures from the sand will appear and push Linda back if she strays too far.

Being one of the last bosses unlocked, Mirage's battle is very complex, and she has plenty of different, dangerous attacks. Although she is rather large and easy to land hits on, she usually hovers high in the sky and out of reach.

A common attack while Mirage is distancing herself is to shoot two missiles that home in on you. If pinched, they will turn around and hit her instead, much like how they behave in Miss Mecca's battle. Another attack involves her flying into the air, then soaring downward into the sand. She will then try to follow your position, only being visible as a dust trail, before popping up and trying to hit you. If she initially dives into a stone structure, however, she will get stuck for a moment and be open to attack. Mirage may also hover close to the ground and build up energy to release in a shockwave; it can be dodged by either backing away, getting lower than her position, or grabbing a bit of solid ground and using a Scarf Flip to jump over it.

Mirage's most dangerous attack has her form a tornado by spinning around, which homes in on Linda's position and deals heavy damage if she touches it. To counter this offense, you can lure the tornado over to one of the bodies of water, which upon contact will erupt and cause a rainstorm, turning the tornado into a pillar of clay. Pinching the pillar will then deal heavy damage to Mirage. The rainstorm caused by this interaction will last for a while, and during this time Mirage cannot successfully initiate another tornado attack.

Quotes[]

  • "Damn it!" (when attacked)
  • “Somebody, help me!” (getting stuck in the ground from her dive attack)
  • "Hey!" (after popping up from the ground)
  • "I'm gonna kill you!" (before using her shockwave attack, sometimes)
  • "Watch your step!" (before using her tornado attack)
  • "I... can't... move!" (when dealt heavy or special damage)

Trivia[]

  • Mirage's name comes from mirages, optical phenomenon that occur from light rays undergoing refraction. A common mirage is to see a body of water in the desert, linking back to Mirage's theme.
  • Mirage uses the same 'Damn it!' voice line as Siren, Miss Mecca and Demonica.
