Mid Boss: Vulcan

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Vulcan is a humanoid mid-boss, notably smaller than previous ones.
• It spends most of its time airborne, making aerial combos your primary method of attack.
• Vulcan isn't overly aggressive, often pausing between attacks.

Attacks:

• Flame Slash
• Fire Ball
• Fire Pillar (Stabs the ground, causing fire to erupt)
• Call Monsters (Summons additional enemies after losing some health)

Strategy:

• Focus on aerial attacks to hit Vulcan while it's airborne.
• Be ready to dodge its sword swings and the fire pillar attack.
• When Vulcan calls monsters, prioritize dealing with them quickly before returning your attention to the boss.
• This fight isn't overly difficult, so stay calm and focus on your combos.

Mid Boss: Phoenix Rider

Stats / Weaknesses:

• This boss can be very challenging if you're impatient.
• Many of its attacks deal high damage, often telegraphed by a flash.
• Watch out for ground-based attacks that cause lava eruptions.

Attacks:

• Spear swing
• Fire Ball
• Charge (Multiple rapid charges)
• Ground Smash (Creates lava eruptions and debris)
• Flame Tornado (Shoots yellow tornadoes)
• Phoenix Charge (Transforms into a phoenix for multiple charges)

Strategy:

• Patience is key here. Don't rush in recklessly.
• When the Phoenix Rider flashes, prepare for a powerful attack.
• If it smashes the ground, immediately run far away to avoid the lava eruption and falling debris.
• The Phoenix Charge is particularly dangerous. It's hard to block, so focus on dodging. This attack can come from any direction and deals significant damage.
• Try to dodge its attacks rather than blocking them, especially the phoenix charge.

Boss: Leventhan

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Leventhan is a very small boss, making it a difficult target for some attacks.
• Despite its size, it's one of the more durable bosses, leading to longer fights.
• Attacking from behind is generally the safest and most effective strategy.

Attacks:

• Headbutt
• Tackle
• Beam (Short-range mouth beams)
• Explosion (Fireball creating a massive explosion)
• Mega Beam (Giant laser from its mouth)

Strategy:

• Your best bet is to stay behind Leventhan as much as possible to avoid its frontal breath attacks.
• Be prepared for its devastating Explosion and Mega Beam attacks, especially after it loses about two health bars. These can be fatal and sometimes come with little warning.
• Due to its small size, some items might be tricky to use effectively. Focus on consistent damage from its rear.
• This fight requires endurance due to Leventhan's durability. Keep up the pressure and stay safe!
