There's a way to give a final boss several lives. The most important thing is that the boss has an object which can create he can appear after he died. Just to put reserve: in stage.dat will not work.
In the first and easier method, you just activate two "soldiers" next to the "boss". It's not possible to kill all three guys at the same time, so that saves the reincarnation.
But if you don't want to have other characters on the screen you have to use something I call a "save life". If you tell a story in your Stage-Mode, this "save life" could be a crystal or something like this. It's a criminal, which activate a hidden character every 10 TU, but this character disappears again after a short time period. So the life of the boss is saved. The criminal also has the <soldier> tag, so it continues to come until the boss is dead.
