Boss Battle - Koronot

Koronot is a stone golem that shrinks with each hit. Rocks fall from the ceiling as a welcoming attack; straddle the crack between the second and third blocks from the left to dodge it.

Tips
  • The best place to dodge Koronot's falling blocks is within the third block from the left.
  • Koronot has two attacks: Block Throw and Falling Blocks.
  • For Block Throw, Koronot walks back and forth and throws a block with an arching pattern. Use moving platforms to jump over it if necessary.
  • Koronot telegraphs Falling Blocks by jumping up and shaking the room.
  • Standing within the third block from the left is the best way to dodge Falling Blocks.

With Koronot defeated, you will proceed to Stage V.
