    Proceed right, jump onto the conveyor platform, and drop down. Bounce on the jellyfish and aim for the hole to the left.
  3. 3
    Destroy the large dirt blocks and head right. Make a short jump when the moving spikes move right, then break the lower right wall to advance.
  4. 4
    Hit the checkpoint. Kill the rats to the right. Deal with the archers behind the moving platforms, prioritizing the top one if possible. Use anchors to kill rats beyond him.
  5. 5
    Continue right, kill the knight, and break the rocks. (Rocks above contain nothing).

    Head right to encounter slimes and lava drops. Make your way to the far right and descend, being mindful of slimes emerging from dirt blocks.
  7. 7
    Head left as soon as possible and hit the checkpoint.
  8. 8
    Drop to a floating ice sculpture. Hit it to the right to defeat the flame mage and continue right to defeat another.

    Hit the ice to the right and stand on it to descend to the bottom.
  11. 11
    Pass the fire hazard and then the oil pots.

  13. 13
    Continue right on the platform. Use your War Horn when prompted.
  14. 14
    Pass the first fire wall. Jump to the middle of the ice platform and use the War Horn to instantly defeat the second wind knight.
  15. 15
    Past the flame walls, float up to the upper right wall and smash it to uncover a [_MUSIC SHEET_].
  16. 16
    Jump down and proceed to another checkpoint.
  17. 17
    Head up the conveyor belts and climb the ladder.
  18. 18
    The scrolling section begins. Avoid enemies and head up. Wait for platforms to move left before ascending further.
  19. 19
    Dash left (using the Propeller Dagger) and as platforms move right, ascend them quickly and dash to the [_MUSIC SHEET_].
  20. 20
    Dash back. Choose either the left or right path to ascend, breaking blocks as you go. Avoid downward strikes.
  21. 21
    Beware of archers and exploding green rats. Climb to the top.
  22. 22
    At the top, climb the ladder. Hit the left wall for a full meal before proceeding right.

    Gather the platters and prepare for the boss fights.

Boss Fight: Battle Royale

General Information: You will face all eight members of the Order of No Quarter in a random order. These fights are identical to previous encounters.

Strategy:

  • After each fight, a food platter will appear, restoring all health.
  • If you have health remaining after a fight, immediately engage the next knight instead of going for the food.
  • Only go for the food platter when your health is low. This allows for a more reckless fighting style.
