There's no cheat, but watching the boss's attack patterns and finding a safe spot to dodge will help. Patience and timing are your best tools.
Does the game have checkpoints?
Most levels start you at the beginning, but some later stages may have mid-point checkpoints. You'll need to restart the current segment after dying.
Are there any secrets or hidden items?
