Charlie is one of four Bosses that can be encountered in Archives. Its design is an evolution of the Skully line of enemies, emphasized through its summoning of several Skully variants throughout the course of the fight.
Attack Patterns
| Description
|
Video
|
| Charlie concurrently shoots a large fireball at the player and five small fire bullets shot in a random spread pattern, that travel at an equal or lower speed than the large fireball. Occasionally, any summoned Skullies or Laser Skullies will also fire similar projectiles.
|
|
| Charlie lets out an intense cry, summoning 3 Skullies with one of them sometimes being a Laser Skully. When 2 of these Skullies are killed, the attack will be used again shortly. If 1 is still alive when it's used, only 2 will be summoned. They will be summoned on the same side as Charlie, but will not switch sides when Charlie does.
|
|
| Charlie positions itself at the top of the screen, then quickly descends to the bottom, firing five bursts of four bullets (in a square-like pattern). The top two bullets in each square will drift upward, while the bottom two will drift downward.
|
|
| Charlie quickly fires five fireballs at the player in succession, each fireball trailed by two small, substantially slower bullets.
|
|
| Charlie positions itself toward the bottom of the screen then travels upward, shooting a stream of fire straight out of its mouth.
|
|
| Charlie headbutts the side of the arena opposite of it, sending a burst of small bullets and destructible dust outward from the point of impact.
|
|
| Charlie travels behind the center pillar of the background and reappears on the opposite side of the screen, remaining there until switching sides again.
|
|
| Charlie fires a flurry of medium-sized bullets in groups of four, its firing trajectory starting at an upward angle, descending downward, then rising again.

Hard Mode
Charlie's hard mode variant features an enhanced move set as well as one unique attack when it reaches its death throes at 33% health. It also gains the ability to summon 2 Blazing Skullies, 2 Scarfies, or a Giant Skully, and each Skully variant has its own special attack. If a regular Skully or Laser Skully is currently alive and Charlie wants to summon Blazing Skullies or Scarfies, only 1 will be summoned instead of 2. Charlie cannot summon more Skullies while a Blazing Skully, Scarfy, or Giant Skully is present.

|
| Charlie fires a laser directly at the player, then a flurry of wiggling streams of medium-sized blue bullets, finishing with a pulse of the same medium-sized bullets directly outward. It then travels behind the center pillar of the arena, reappears on the opposite side of the screen, and repeats the attack until the battle is concluded.
