Draw the shotgun, start firing, and keep shooting as Tony powers up and sends out his initial energy burst. Hold down the Walk and Fire buttons and begin sidestepping from left to right along the front edge of the small platform.

He'll then start throwing fireballs up toward the ceiling so they rain down on the little platform.

Continue to sidestep left and right to avoid them as they fall.

You won't have to keep this up for long, though. At close range, about six shotgun blasts will finish him.
