Overview
I found this boss really frustrating and quite unlike the rest of the game. I ended up having to take notes on the pattern before I could beat the final form, and afterwards I thought I would share them in the form of a guide. While writing the first draft I noticed an even easier way than what I had used and proceed to test it in game. As such the following should work so long as the boss always follows the same pattern. A word of warning, if you want to figure it out on your own and only want hints you shouldn't read this.
The First Form
This part is fairly straight forward. Press whatever arrow key moves you to the attacking arrow before it strikes. Note that the arrow that will attack you will always be face toward the center (at you).
The Second Form
This is where the boss can start to be tricky. Your arrow will now rotate clockwise before it attacks. It will alternate between rotations of 90º and 180º, so you will need to be one roation counterclockwise from your target or directly across from it.
The Final Form
Setting it Up
It is imperative that you do this setup or the rest of the guide won't work.
You should now be at a screen where a square is at the top of the screen. Hit the down arrow key until your arrow rotates 180º to hit the square. If you do this then we can divide the key presses you need to make between 3 cases, which will simply be called case 1, case 2, and case 3.

Case 1
In this case, the outer triangles (the ones attacking you) turn 90º clockwise and your triangle rotates 90º clockwise. When dealing with this case you simply move your arrow in the direction of the attacking arrow, e.g. if the attacking arrow is on the right hit the right arrow key.

Case 2
In this case, the outer triangles turn 180º counter-clockwise and your triangle rotates 180º clockwise. This case is dealt with in the same manner as case 1. Simply move your arrow in the direction of the attacking arrow.

Case 3
In this case, the outer triangles turn 90º counter-clockwise and your triangle rotates 90º clockwise. When dealing with this case simply move your arrow to the opposite side of the screen from the attacking arrow, e.g. if the attacking arrow is on the right press the left arrow key.

How to Win
When I played through the boss followed this order for the cases 1,2,3,2,1,2,3. So basically just count up then down and then up again while apply the techniques explained above. I should also note that when I say something like "the side the attacking arrow is on", I'm refering to the location of the outer arrows before they rotate.
Conclusion
I hope this is helpful. If anything isn't clear or doesn't work let me know and I'll try to fix it. Good Luck!

If you start with hitting the square when it rotates twice here is the pattern:

S - S - O - S - S - S - O
Where S = the same as the incoming triangle (point at it's original location) and O = opposite the incoming triangle.

Starting with hitting the square when it rotates once requires more thought, starting with counter-clockwise for the first triangle (much harder to pattern out and get it right).

Please note that this does only work when you hit the square at the second part after doing a 180° spin. Other wise you need to reverse the pattern.

Also, always referring to the attacking arrow:

Start at Bottom, two moves to shoot the Square.
Point AT Arrow
Point AT Arrow
Point WITH Arrow
Point AT Arrow
Point AT Arrow
Point AT Arrow
Point WITH Arrow

My notes say that's how to solve it.

Thank you so much. What is worth mentioning, is that in the mirror level you need to do the same in order to beat the final boss, but you're rotating counter-clockwise. Other than that, when you figure out the pattern and you're concentrated, it's just a matter of tries until you manage to beat the final boss. And also, what a relief when you finally beat all Mirror levels... priceless :)

This helped so much, you don't even know. I beat the final boss without the guide before the mirror levels, but after the mirror levels it just became too difficult. Once I saw this guide, I finished the final mirror level and have all of the achievements ; v;

THANK YOU~!!!!!:8bitheart::8bitheart::8bitheart:
