Boss Fight: Deikrag

  • Attacks: Jump slam (area effect), normal slam with crystal projectiles (one stunnable), charge attack (can be bounced off), aerial crystal barrage followed by a ground slam and crystal trail.
  • Strategy: Wait for the jump attack combo, stun Deikrag with the aura crystal, and attack. Adapt to the charge attack by bouncing off him, then attacking after his fist slam. Dodge falling rocks during charges. When he uses the aerial barrage, stay away from the center and jump over the outward crystals.

After defeating Deikrag, a scene will play, concluding the stage. The next stage is '3-5 Construction Site'.

Tips
  • Use Kumori Hypercharge against Samurai for safe kills.
  • Zombie Butcher blades can be used to reach higher areas or cross spikes.
  • Kunai or Hypercharge are recommended for Slime enemies due to their spike attacks.
  • The final section before the boss fight is a race against time due to crumbling pillars.
  • 3 Crystal Skulls
  • 8 Golden Scarabs
  • 1 Scroll
  • Triple Scarab (x2)
