Learn the strategy to defeat the Purple Knight and navigate the Falling Castle in Samson. Includes monster list details.
Walkthrough
- 1At the start of the Purple Knight fight, jump and punch him with Golem, then immediately switch to Mouse and move away.
- 2When the Purple Knight jumps at you, jump in front of its landing spot as Mouse and use a bomb.
- 3Once on the ground, while still as Mouse, jump and bomb the Purple Knight's head.
- 4If the Purple Knight gets too close on the ground, switch to a character with more health (like Golem) to get away and potentially land a hit or two.
- 5Switch back to Mouse when safe to deal more damage. You may get lucky and have three bombs hit its head at once.
- 6To avoid the Purple Knight's attacks, stay in a corner when it hovers and fires energy balls, waiting for it to land. For other attacks, jump and bomb it.
- 7Warning: The Purple Knight's attacks can deal damage.
- 8To start Falling Castle, switch to Dragon and hover over the spike pit to the right.
- 9Switch to Mouse and crawl through the hole in the wall.
- 10Avoid falling rocks from the ceiling.
- 11Switch back to Dragon and hover over the next spike pit.
- 12Crawl through another hole as Mouse.
- 13Repeat steps 8-10 one more time.
- 14When crawling through the final hole, you will enter a cave.
- 15Note: You can also cross the spike pits with Golem.
- 16Inside the cave, head to the right wall, then jump up to the stairs on the left.
- 17Switch to Lickle and jump along the ledges to reach a second stairway.
- 18Be careful of an upcoming explosion.
- 19Climb the second set of stairs on the right, wait for another explosion, then head up more stairs on the left.
- 20At the top, switch to Dragon or Lickle (whichever has more health) and jump along the ledges in the air to reach the top.
- 21Warning: There is a flashing wall on your right. One hit will kill anyone, even Golem.
- 22To pass the flashing wall, take the character with the most health, get hit by a rock to become invincible, and walk through the wall to the right before the invincibility wears off.
- 23You will see a short (cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically)) and have earned the *real* ending of Samson.
