Alright, we're diving into some tough boss fights in the Challenge Node's Gauntlet. Don't worry, I'll walk you through each one so you can conquer them all!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Boss: Wisdurm Durmite
    • Location: Challenge Node -> Gauntlet

  3. 3
    Attacks: Silk Swing (Hammer counter), Shrinking (Hammer boss a few times), Heart Drop (Multiple hammer counters), Star Beam (Jump over).
  4. 4
    Notices: Starts small and uses only Silk Swing. The gauge fills as it takes damage, making it bigger and changing its attacks. Attacking the magic rod lowers the gauge, shrinking the boss again. Attacking the boss keeps the gauge full.

  9. 9
    Attacks (LX): Dashing With Boo (Jump to avoid Boo, stomping Boo ends the attack), Hammer Toss (Counter with Hammer), Mushroom (Heals or revives; unavoidable).

  11. 11
    Boss: Junker X

Tips
  • Always keep an eye on your SP. You'll need it for powerful Special attacks.
  • Don't be afraid to use items if you're in a pinch, especially for healing or SP recovery.
  • Pay close attention to the boss's attack patterns; countering and dodging at the right time is key.
  • Defeating these bosses progresses you through the Challenge Node gauntlet.
