Gravity bend behind you!
~ Gradius Gaiden announcer

On the Event Horizon is the seventh stage in Gradius Gaiden.

Overview[]

Ah... the good ol' Eioneus. It just isn't Gradius without the Volcano stage. There's absolutely nothing here the player haven't seen in previous Gradius Volcano stages... other than the minor issue of the honking huge black hole that's sucking in the level behind you. Fortunately the effect is mostly cosmetic, having no effect on the ship, though the player missiles might get pulled in.

It's kind of funny to see any turrets may have missed get sucked in, though. Try not to get too distracted though, since the enemies here are a bit more aggressive than they've been in previous levels, and there are plenty of loose rocks tumbling around for the player to crash into. Also be aware that the player can damage the rocky platforms that are the staple of these sorts of levels, and if the okayer disconnect them from the floor or ceiling they'll go flying into the black hole.

If the ship has any kind of rear firing ability, use it to get rid of those laser ships that approach from behind before they can become a threat.

Watch your back and destroy Kraken. Also, ending the Black Hole threat.
