They do provide the info in game. The toon you are supposed to rescue gives you information during the battle. The problem is: 1) It appears as normal bubbled text, as though it was from another player to it may not be easy to notice while you have so many other things to do. 2) The information given comes pretty slowly. The battle is half done by the time his information begins to repeat.
I don't think I noticed that the information was there until like the third or forth time through a run. I guess I was too busy trying to watch him, and the other players to see the text.
As to the guide, I would add that one or two of your best hitters should go behind him and aim for the door when its open to stun, while the rest fan out in front of, and/or slightly to the side of him and try both to stun him, and knock him back when he is stunned. You do not want to all stand in a cluster since doing so will make it harder for your shots to get to him (they will keep hitting the other players) and he will concentrate his attack in that area. If you are all spread out, he doesn't attack just one single area.
Also, DON'T STAND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR ON THE FRONT SIDE! Players will stand pretty far back on the front side and try and hit the door. If you stand right in front, not only will you be hit by him more, you will make it almost impossible for a pie to go into his door.
When you get injured (fall below 30lp) you need to just go stand in front of a toon that is your same height or shorter. Don't bother to say 'help!' or 'I need a tune up', the time it took for you to move your mouse over there, you probably lost another 10 in a jump he did. You must pick a same size/shorter toon or you won't get hit. If you have the small toon size on, you will find it hard to get healed unless someone else is also small in your group. A large toon will throw right over a small/normal toon.
If someone comes and stand right in front of you while you are throwing, don't move away! They need to be healed. You can try and click on them to see how much hit points they have if you think you can do so without loosing site of whether he is jumping or not. Anything above 50 - 60 is enough. Once you heal a toon up past that, you may move aside if they don't move.
Keeping yourself, and your team healed is the most important factor in the final battle. You need a fairly full group to survive it since he will start back up the ramp if you are not quick enough at pushing him back. I have beaten him twice with only 4 people in the VP battle, it may be possible with only 3 if they are pretty good. I don't think you have a great shot with only 1 or 2 of you so keep everyone alive!
