Boss Fight: Treasure Knight

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • The Flare Wand is the most helpful relic.
  • The Phase Locket is helpful for the sand wave move due to timing.

Phases:

  1. Anchor Shot: Treasure Knight shoots an anchor across the screen. Jump over it and prepare to bounce off him as he follows. Alternatively, he shoots the anchor upwards, then moves across the room to shoot down at you. Avoid the downward shot and attack him after the second shot.
  2. Bubble Shots: He shoots about four bubbles at you. These do not contain gems.
  3. Chest Attack: This attack is used when his HP gets low.

Strategy:

  • For the Anchor Shot, jump over the initial shot and bounce off him as he charges. For the ceiling anchor shot, avoid the downward attack and strike him afterward.
  • Do not attempt to grab the bubbles; they are not gems.
  • Be prepared for the chest attack when his HP is low.
