How to Beat Red Boy

Red Boy Strategy
Dodge Red Boy's Aerial Attack Move Away When Red Boy is Whirling Its Weapon Keep Rolling Around When Burned Watch Out for Red Boy's Dash Attacks

Dodge Red Boy's Aerial Attack

Red Boy has an aerial attack where it flys in the air, summon multiple clones of itself, then the clones crash themselves into you consecutively. Once all the clones are gone, Red Boy will dive towards you for the final blow.

When the boss does this attack, it's impossible to hit it since it's high up in the air, so the best thing to do is just to dodge the clones and the final blow.

Move Away When Red Boy is Whirling Its Weapon

Red Boy will occasionally whirl its weapon while reciting something, then unleash a powerful attack. Once you see it whirl its weapon, it's best to just move away from it to dodge the attack.

Alternatively, you can do a well-timed dodge if you want to keep attacking it.

Keep Rolling Around When Burned

A lot of Red Boy's attacks inflict burn. The best thing to do to extinguish the infliction is to keep rolling around until it dissipates.

Watch Out for Red Boy's Dash Attacks

Red Boy has a dash attack where it first steps sideways, then performs two (2) dash attacks consecutively. Once you see it step sideways, be prepared to dodge it or use Rock Solid to counter it.

How to Beat Yaksha King

Yaksha King Strategy
Stun It With Heavy Attacks Watch Out for Its Sweeping Attacks Move Away When It Has Spikes on Its Back

Stun It With Heavy Attacks

Yaksha King is easier to hit compared to Red Boy since it doesn't move that much. Perform heavy attacks to stun it consistently and interrupt its attacks.

Watch Out for Its Sweeping Attacks

Yaksha King has a variety of sweeping attacks that can catch you by surprise. Watch out for these attacks and always be prepared to dodge them.

Move Away When It Has Spikes on Its Back

One notable attack the Yaksha King frequently does is summon multiple spikes on the ground around itself, then they shoot up from the ground, dealing damage within the area. Whenever it's going to do this attack, spikes shoot out from its back.

Once you see spikes shoot up from its back, it's best to just move away from the boss and wait for the attack to finish.
