Bosses

• This battle is fairly straightforward as you’ll be fighting in a narrow burrow hole. The boss will retreat occasionally following each encounter allowing you to either brace for the next attack by charging your weapon or exploring the corridors lined along the walls for extra health. Be extremely careful as the Death Worm can grab you with its mouth and cause an awful lot of damage.

• This boss fight takes place with Ryu facing off against two large dragons and a few smaller ones. The approach is quite simple since they both have a limited array of attacks. Neither of them are different from each other either so there won’t be any surprises. They will shoot two types of fireballs, charged and uncharged, and fire a laser that will ignite the ground. Be very cautious of the latter, because taking just one shot will consume a good portion of your life bar. Timing your attacks will be crucial. You can choose to either engage using ranged magical abilities or the bow. Either way, be wary of your surroundings.
