![]() Should he miss, his weapon will get stuck on the ground and he will remain vulnerable for a brief period of time while struggling to detach it, allowing the player to score a few free hits. After attacking with his weapon four times, he will perform a high jump and attempt to land, axe first, on the hero. His attacks are somewhat similar, albeit he swings his battle axe more frequently and it doesn't leave much room underneath to remain safe, so instead rely in hit-and-run tactics to defeat him. The Great Axe Armor comes next, this time entering from the left side of the screen. Lure him into attacking and crouch near him, safe from the flail's reach, then start attacking move when he jumps and reposition as he lands. He attacks with a spiked flail and can also perform high jumps in an attempt to crush the hero. The Heavy Armor appears first, entering from the right side of the screen. Shortly after this, yet another miniboss fight ensues in the form of a pair of gigantic armored knights: the Heavy Armor and the Great Axe Armor. Doing this a few times will quickly put him out of commission. He's not much of a threat, though, as all he does is teleporting to the other side of the screen each time he's hit. He has control over the elements and will command heavy rains to come down in an attempt to flood the stage and drown them. ![]() A candle holding a 1up can be encountered midway along this room, although it requires that the player hits it from near the top of the screen and then risks it all by jumping down amidst the ascending waters in order to retrieve it.Ī Wizard awaits our heroes at the top as the first miniboss of this level. Certain platforms are guarded by indestructible Fuzz Busters, so care must be taken not to rush mindlessly. Minotaurs wielding naginatas and a few Flaming Skulls will try to hinder his progress in an attempt to bring him down into a watery grave. In the next section, the hero must make haste in reaching higher ground, as the area will be continuously flooding with water. No time for sightseeing, though, as soon enough a tribe of Minotaurs and some Fish Men will enter the scene and do battle. Waves can be seen constantly crashing on them, while a red-hot sunset in the background complements this atmospheric scenery. The level starts with our hero standing on the remains of a few ancient marble columns that somehow have defied the passing of time, albeit now being stranded in the ocean. Water plays a big role in this stage, as most of the shrine is submerged underwater. ![]() The overall environment is portrayed with ancient Greek-era style architecture, with decorated columns, statues, and edifications sculpted in marble. ![]()
