How to Defeat Terror
Learn how to defeat Terror, the first boss in Kao the Kangaroo. This guide details Terror's phases, attacks, and strategies for each stage of the fight.
- 1Phase 1: Cyclone Attack
Terror transforms into a cyclone and spins around the arena in straight lines, leaving trails of flames. You can roll through the flames if necessary. After a few ricochets, Terror becomes dizzy and stops spinning. Attack him while he is dizzy, usually getting about 3 hits before he resumes attacking. - 2Phase 2: Whirlwinds and Chandelier
Once Terror's health reaches the first line on his health bar, he will start sending whirlwinds out in all directions. These whirlwinds move back and forth, so standing still is not a viable dodging strategy. After a few seconds, the screen will shake, indicating that objects will fall to the ground. Quickly pick up one of these objects, aim your camera at the chandelier in the middle of the arena, and toss the object at it. Repeat this process three times to advance to the next phase. - 3Phase 3: Dark Crystals
In the final phase, Terror uses the same whirlwind attack as in phase 2. Continue dodging them as before. Wait for platforms to appear, which will happen after a set amount of time. These platforms will lead you to dark crystals. Hit a dark crystal with any attack to damage Terror. Three hits on the dark crystals will defeat Terror.
- The flame trails left by Terror in phase 1 can be rolled through.
- In phase 2, you must move to dodge the oscillating whirlwinds.
- In phase 3, wait for the platforms to appear to reach the dark crystals.
Prologue: Basics
Get a grip on Kao the Kangaroo's opening! Learn how to move, punch, and unleash special attacks in this walkthrough of the Prologue basics.
Alright, so you're diving into Kao the Kangaroo for the first time? Awesome! Let's get you up to speed with the very beginning of the game, the Prologue. Think of this as your first little sparring match before the real adventure kicks off.
You'll kick things off in this kinda spooky, dark place. There's a bit of a scene where you see Kaia, a female kangaroo, get snatched up by some shadowy force. Don't worry, Kao, our main guy, is right there trying to save her. After that little intro, you'll get control of Kao. Just move forward, and bam! An enemy pops up.
To deal with this first foe, just mash the Square / X (Xbox) / Y (Switch) button to punch. It'll take about three hits to knock 'em out. Once that's done, a bit of land will shift into place, and guess what? More enemies! As you're wailing on them, keep an eye on the top-left corner of your screen. See that meter filling up? That's your special meter, and it charges up pretty fast as long as you're laying the smackdown.
Once that special meter is totally full, you'll see a prompt pop up over an enemy. That's your cue to hit Triangle / Y (Xbox) / X (Switch). Kao will do this awesome jump and slam down, creating a shockwave. It's super handy when you're swarmed or facing a tougher single enemy. After you've dealt with the three baddies on this second bit of land, just keep pushing forward. You'll hit a barrier, trigger another cutscene, and then it's off to Hopalloo Island for more story. But don't get too comfy, you'll be sent straight to Walt's Dojo for some training next!

When you reach the barrier at the end, a cutscene will play, and then it's off to Hopalloo Island for another scene.
