Soldier Locations
Boletaria 1-1
A huge stone castle in the northern kingdom of Boletaria.
Hungry soldiers whose souls have been stolen by demons attack trespassers, and terrible dragons nest there.
Boletaria 1-2
Archstone of the Demon Phalanx.
Past the huge Boletarian castle gates lies the Cliff Pathway, now a feeding ground for dragons, which leads to the inner ward, where the knights live.
Boletaria 1-3
Archstone of the Demon Tower Knight.
Inside Boletaria's gates, where the streets intertwine, lies a trap set by the Fat Official, an embodiment of Old King Allant's madness.
How to Beat Soldier
Sword Soldier
You won't want to stay away from these soldiers as they'll throw firebombs at you. Always ready your shield and if they do as well, kick it to create an opening then strike for the kill.
Spear Soldier
Similar to the Sword Soldier. Kick when their shield is up then head straight for the kill. Be relentless as they can consume a grass to restore their health from a distance or throw a firebomb at you.
Axe Soldier
A soldier's attack is incredibly slow but the Axe soldier takes it a step further. You can easily parry its attacks for a good riposte. Simialar to the shield and sword soldiers, don't stay away from them as they can restore their health and throw firebombs at you.
Halberd Soldier
A soldier with no shield. They have a larger range than the other soldiers but they lack defense so bait their attack then go for a kill.
Crossbow Soldier
Against crossbowmen, you'll want to bait their attack before launching an attack at them. Their reload speed is pretty slow and it's their most vulnerable phase.
