You'll have to do some semi-big battles here. Just persevere. Eventually you'll get some outside help.

The boss will get into the "Absolute Safety Capsule". Shortly after, more cut scenes will happen.
Keep going forward. You'll find the final save point and hot spring (they even tell you that).
Keep going and you'll find the last needle and the final boss.
Just keep healing Lucas in battle. Stuff will gradually happen.
Eventually the battle will change slightly and the boss's attacks will be weaker. Keep healing.
The ending will play (don't complain if it seems like a bad ending, it's not what it looks like)
When it looks like the game is finally over, it's not! Keep "walking" left and people will talk.
