Vol Opt Version 2 - Ultimate!!

[whiteninja]

Here's a little tip for dodging the green orb of doom:

When it is starting to get close behind you, circle the orb! Go around and around it until it disappears! It's traveling so fast it can't turn properly so you actually avoid it! If you do get caught by the orb, be sure to have Dimates and Trimates with you! You can still use them while you are caught to refill any missing HP. Some Sol Atomizers wouldn't hurt either to deal with continual shock.

Another tip:

In multiplayer, if you do get caught, your team buddies can break you free! The rock-like things that entrap you have a photon attribute of ????, but they can be attacked. Then, if they break you out, move the heck out of the way ASAP and Vol Opt will shoot his laser beams of death at nothing but air. I learned that when playing multiplayer a long time ago with my brother.

Jarl, attacking the screens will actually do damage to Vol Opt too and help you get to the second stage faster (that's why if you do major overkill on the screens you don't need to kill a single column). If you really want, you can leave one screen standing though.
