Destroy the core!
~ Announcer in Gradius Gaiden

Laser Tetran (レーザーテトラン Rēzā Tetoran?) is the first boss of the boss rush in Gradius Gaiden.

Description[]

The music played during the fight is known as Boss Rush 1, which is also played during the DeathDouble + Parasite Core and Triple Core boss fights. It is well known for having an attack in the shape of a Swastika. There are 4 core barriers, each between the laser "arms". These barriers have very low health, and it is even possible to damage the core by using the Falchion's Gravity Bullet LV2. The core also has minimal health, meaning this boss won't last very long. On higher loops, it shoots a few suicide bullets when it dies. These are also easy to dodge.

Attack patterns[]

Laser Tetran will appear in the center of the screen and fire a multi-coloured four laser burst. It will then fire two lasers to push itself into you, firing sets of four Red and Black homing bombs as it moves. It will repeat this pattern a few more times, and then it will fire all eight lasers at once. This is rather hard to dodge, but it is possible.
