Boss Fight - Propeller Knight:

  • General Information: Propeller Knight is a relatively easy boss, but stage hazards are present. Be aware of the gaps at the ends of the stage. During the fight, Propeller Knight will summon an airship that uses two cannonballs to destroy parts of the stage, increasing the risk of falling. The pits are the biggest threat. Fight in the center and be careful of hits. The Anchor is useful for extra hits.
  • En Garde!: Propeller Knight thrusts forward with his rapier multiple times. Be ready to bounce on his head; multiple bounces are possible for extra hits.
  • Impalement: Propeller Knight will get below you and blow you into the sky. As you fall, he will attempt to impale you.
Tips
  • The Propeller Dagger is crucial for navigating many sections, especially for reaching gems and crossing gaps.
  • Use the Flare Wand to deal with the wind mage and rats efficiently.
  • The Anchor is effective against the Axe Knight and can provide extra hits during the Propeller Knight boss fight.
  • Pay close attention to wind patterns and fan directions to progress through puzzle sections.
  • Be mindful of the stage hazards, particularly the pits and destructible platforms during the boss fight.
