![]() While you could try and bring a Barbarian King to this fight, any class will really do, especially if you’ve already cleared Ponce de Freon and have gotten used to laying out fires properly. By this point you’re already pretty deep into the run and you’ll want to save as many lives as possible for the later bosses. The key here is making sure you bring a Shinobi to the fight, as their pumped up damage should let you wipe out the tiny skulls he summons in a single hit, making it a lot easier to clear the field.Īgain, like with Khidr, just take your time and avoid any stupid mistakes. Unlike his remixed piece of shit cousin, vanilla Alexander isn’t all that hard, even at low levels. You can spend the rest of your cash however you like, but those are of prime importance.Īdditionally, should you encounter any Grace runes, those are like your best friends ever, so unlock those right away. Once you kill Khidr, it’s super important that you unlock a few things – The Shinobi class and the Vault and Sprint runes. ![]() Only go for sure hits and don’t be afraid to focus on dodging if you feel like things are getting away from you. Like with all the bosses during a Thanatophobia run, the key is to stay calm and play conservatively. The timing of this can be a little hard to master, but since this is your first life, dying on him doesn’t require a monstrous amount of work to recoup from. Following the opening, jump up and over the boss, using a down strike to bounce to the other side. If you get one that’s moving into you, things get a little more complicated. If you get a spinning blood bolt attack that’s moving away from you, it’s just a matter of running over, jumping onto the platform opposite you, and jumping up. ![]() I recommend you stand underneath him on one side, doing small jumps to hit him, as this gives you the most room to dodge the two set attack patterns. Without double jump or dash, this guy can be a bit of a terror, but if you’ve already cleared Neo Khidr you should already have a good feel for this fight and how to dodge his attacks. Spellsword is a contentious choice, as it requires a bit of luck to happen upon it when you need it, and even more luck to get a set of abilities that isn’t terrible combined with a half decent spell, but as much of this is based on luck already, I decided to roll the dice. I spent my boss money in a few ways – I unlocked Shinobi and Spellsword, then equip weight as necessary to use any gear I happened upon.Also, if you’ve got access to a PS3 or PS4, I highly recommend doing this on there, as hand cramps from the Vita can be killer, especially after a failed run. If you’re having a hard time with precision control, try switching to the D-pad, as it tends to provide slightly better accuracy.Do not hope you’ll find a badass tier 5 sword, because you won’t and you’ll lose five lives trying. Often you’ll lose a little life getting to whichever boss you’re going to kill, so being able to teleport from entrance to entrance filling up is an invaluable boost. Find all the pathways to other areas in the first part of the Castle, but don’t eat the food there.You might think that it’s a good idea to “farm” and power up your hero, but the best way through this is by getting so good at the bosses that you never get hit and can plink away at them. Just move through the rooms as quickly as possible, flying past anything you can’t kill in one or two hits, which is pretty much everything in the Tower and the Dungeon. Avoid any room that doesn’t have an ironbound treasure in it.It might seem impossible at first, but it’s a good test of your skills and will get your head into the game. Kill the first boss, Khidr, using the first Level 0 guy.Not only will this train you for the hardest challenge the game can offer, it also will hone your boss killing skills, as most of the remix bosses will kill you in a handful of hits, so you’ll get really good at avoiding their attacks. Then go and beat all the remix bosses, including Brohannes. It’s unique to the PS3/PS4/Vita versions of the game and, as of this writing, isn’t even in the PC version.īut, as the cast of every Nightmare on Elm Street movie can tell you, even the worst fever dreams can be conquered with some creative thinking and courage, so I’m here to take your trembling hand and guide you through the most difficult part of the game – the bosses.īefore we get to the meat of the guide, here are a few general tips on how to play when you’re underleveled and outgunned: ![]() The PlayStation versions of indie darling Rogue Legacy contains a little treat for crazy trophy hunters: the Thanatophobia trophy, which demands that you beat the game from a fresh save in 15 lives or less WITHOUT using the Architect to lock down the castle.
