Replica
Replica is the second required boss, possessing ERI.
Pre-Fight
ERI begins to walk towards the platform Sen landed on after their fight with Sin and ERI's subsequent laser blast. Said platform begins floating as ERI approaches while V and Sen talk, with V stating that they will only provide occasional support when needed, and Sen stating that "This fight... it's personal". The platform Sen was on explodes, dropping Sen down to the main boss arena, which has begun floating. The demo's final battle finally begins.

Post-Fight
ERI catches Sen in its tractor beam, lifting them up, before striking Sen, sending Sen flying into the air. A mysterious entity (likely different than the one that communicated with Sin) then begins communicating with Sen, stating that they did not make a compromise with "that thing" and for Sen to "crawl out and die". This entity is possibly affiliated with V since V was tasked with escorting Sen. The entity says "You will serve your purpose". Sen's safemode restrictions are disabled, and a choice must be made between which demo ending will be chosen.
Tips, Tricks, and Trivia
- Within the second steam demo, parrying is the only reliable way of dealing damage to Replica, as they are almost always out of range of melee attacks. For extra chip damage, Drone Modules should be used. The Drill-Rail combo can be used to deal quick burst damage.
- The halo above ERI says "I MUST OPEN THE SKY BRIDGE" or "I MUST BRIDGE THE OPEN SKY".
- Replica's halo says "I WILL PROTECT YOU".
