How to Beat Second Prince of Flowing Sands

Second Prince of Flowing Sands Strategy
Destroy Pillars with the Boss's Attacks Kill the King of Flowing Sands First Run Around and Wait for Openings Be Careful of the Delayed Attacks

Destroy Pillars with the Second Prince's Attacks

In your first encounter, the King of Flowing Sands stands atop pillars, throwing rocks at you. To bring him down, lure the Second Prince into attacking the pillars, breaking them and leaving the King vulnerable. Once on the ground, the King may occasionally stagger the Second Prince with his rock throws, giving you brief windows to heal or attack.

Kill the King of Flowing Sands First

Once the King is vulnerable to attacks, prioritize killing him first. This will put the Second Prince in a rage, but he will drop the Second Rat Prince Spirit at the end of the fight.

You could just ignore the King and take down the Second Prince, but doing so will cause you to miss out on the Spirit drop, and you'll need to replay the game on New Game+ to get it.

Affects the Next Fight's Cutscene

The order in which you defeat the bosses in this fight influences the cutscene that plays before the battle with the First Prince of the Flowing Sands. While the cutscene will change, the fight itself and the rewards remain the same.

Run Right Against the Thrust Combo

The Second Prince's combo that starts with the thrusting attack is his easiest move to punish. Keep your distance, run to your right to avoid the hits, then counter with a charged Heavy Attack or any other move of your choice.

Be Careful of the Delayed Attacks

The Second Prince has two delayed attacks you may underestimate, but it's essential to dodge these to get more opportunities to be on the offensive.

In one, he throws his mace and follows up with a long-range wave attack. In the other, he spins his mace and performs a jumping attack, followed by a delayed area-of-effect strike. Both can be dodged when you see them coming, allowing you to follow up with attacks.
