Revision History ******************************************************************************* Version 0.10 06/2/08 --------------------------------- Made some notes on the bosses Version 0.20 06/17/08 --------------------------------- Polished and submitted FAQ ******************************************************************************* II. Mt Gogyo ******************************************************************************* Boss: Phoenix The Phoenix is the first boss you will come across and accordingly it is fairly easy. The Phoenix has three different attacks. One of the things Phoenix does is clapping its wings and "shooting" 6 feathers at you. The feathers come from the sky and are pretty easy to avoid if you stick around the middle left side of the map. The second attack is moving forward towards you and then moving down. This is very easy to avoid as it moves very slow but if it hits you it does about 1/6 of your HP in damage. With the exception of the final boss, they all do this and the pattern they go in goes something like this, where S is the start and Y is you: <-------S | | | | | | | | | | V | Y To avoid this you stay in the bottom center where the Y is The final attack is Phoenix shooting a beam from his mouth. He usually shoots on the upper half of the screen so stay low and you should be able to avoid it. ******************************************************************************* III. Yellow River ******************************************************************************* Boss: Water Imp The Water Imp is not much harder than Phoenix but he has an extra move. One of these is three spinning blades that come from the right side of the screen. Once these get to about mid-screen, they "burst" into many tiny spinning blades. I found that, although small, the blades move slowly enough to watch and predict its movement to avoid it. The second attack is a crescent blade attached to a chain that swings from the right side of the screen to the left and when it reaches you it lets loose some small blades. The third attack is moving towards you and down, just like Phoenix. To avoid this you have to stay on the bottom center part of the screen. The final move is not an attack but a shield. He will raise a turtle shell to black your attacks for a few seconds. ******************************************************************************* IV. Great Wall ******************************************************************************* Boss: Bad Witch The Bad Witch, from my experience, seems to have a good amount of HP, at least more than the first two. Her first attack is pointing her fan at you and summoning six yellow clouds that start on the edges of the screen and come towards you. These may not look very scary but they hurt and they will hit you more than once. Avoiding these are difficult since they follow you but if you pay attention as she's pointing the fan, you can see where the clouds start and you can try to stay in a spot away from them so they all come at you from one direction and not from six directions. The second attack is a hail of petals similar to the feather one that Phoenix has. Again these are easy to avoid since they follow the same path every single time. The final attack is the moving towards you. Same strategy as the others; stay at the bottom center of the screen. ******************************************************************************* V. Mt. Tai ******************************************************************************* Boss: General The General seems to have the HP of the Bad Witch but hits harder. One of his attacks is sending a large spinning sword towards you. To avoid this you have to be at the very bottom of the screen about 1/4 of the way from the left. It will look like the hilt of the sword hit you but it won't. If you're not there it's pretty hard to avoid since anywhere else you have to move around a lot to avoid it. His second attack is a hail of arrows similar to the feathers and petals. The best advice for this type of attack is to just let it hit you once and look for a safe spot for next time. The final attack is the same as everyone else. He moves toward you, down, and then away. The same safe spot on the bottom center still applies. The General also blocks attacks with his sword for a few seconds, similar to the turtle shell and the Water Imp. ******************************************************************************* VI. World Above ******************************************************************************* Boss: Great Dragon The Great Dragon has three attacks just like everyone else. The first is a blue laser that comes from the top of the screen. He does not do this very often and when he does you can see it coming so just move to the side. The second attack is 4 yellow tornados that come toward you. I found this to be one of the hardest attacks to avoid in the entire game. The best advice I can give is to move close to the dragon and then up and back to the left side. These are timed so making them come to you from one side and then running away should take enough time for them to disappear. The last attack are fiery balls that are in the shape of a circle and spin. The circle and the fire balls both spin. It starts off as a small circle and gets bigger as it comes closer to you. The way to avoid it is to find the pattern of the spinning circle and find a safe spot. I found when it's close to you, rushing inside the circle is the best way to avoid it. The final move is a wall that comes up to block your attacks for a few seconds. Stand far away because if you're standing where the wall comes up, you will get hurt. ******************************************************************************* VII. Hell ******************************************************************************* On this final level you fight all the bosses you have already fought but they are exactly the same so I will not list all of it again. Boss: Great Demon This has to be the easiest fight in the entire game. The Great Demon has an orb in this left hand and a stick in his right. When the orb glows, and changes colors, one of 4 things happens. Red: You get webbed and your movement is slowed. He does not attack you so the slow is pointless since you don't have to avoid anything. Blue: You cannot attack for a few seconds. Yellow: A group of monsters come at you doing their normal attack. Black: The bottom of the screen gets filled with lava and about 7-8 balls of lava comes at you. To avoid it just watch them coming and move away from them. After you beat him, you will have beaten the game. ******************************************************************************* VIII.
