- Note
- Per-NG-cycle HP (needed to fill the NG+2/NG+3 gap) is NOT stored per-cycle in this entry -- it's applied via a linked New-Game-Plus scaling effect (a 2.29x HP multiplier) that does not cleanly reproduce this boss's own already-documented NG/NG+/NG+6 figures, and the logic selecting which multiplier applies at which NG+ count lives in the game's scripted event logic, not this data table. The NG+2/NG+3 gap remains 'not documented' -- this finding corroborates identity, not the missing values.
