During a cutscene, the alligator will then vomit up David, fully forming the Swamp Phantom.

The final stage takes pace back at the cemetery. The Swamp Phantom will appear again, and this time the player must trick it to destroy the gigantic statue of David in the centre. Once the statue is destroyed, the alligator will bite off David's arm and separate, creating two separate beings for Lazarus to battle. David fires projectile whilst the alligator attempts to bite Lazarus. The player must lure the two beings together, causing them to battle each other. After about 2-3 fights between them, they will both be sufficiently damaged enough and stand dormant. This is the perfect opportunity for them to be captured before they become animate again. | The final stage takes pace back at the cemetery.
