YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR POSSESSION, AN AXE. UPON ENTERING THE ROOM, BREAK THE SECOND OF TWO BLOCKS, BEFORE THE STAIRS AT THE END, TO REVEAL A DOUBLE SHOT.WHEN YOU FIRST ENCOUNTER THE BAT, HE HANGS UPSIDE DOWN ON THE WALL. WHEN YOU ENTER HIS ROOM, HE’LL UNFURL HIMSELF AND ATTACK YOU.
IF HE IS TOO HIGH TO ATTACK WITH YOUR WHIP, USE YOUR DOUBLE SHOT AXE. IF HE IS LOW TO THE GROUND, GET IN A FEW WHIP CRACKS, OR USE AN AXE SHOT, WHILST AVOIDING HIS FIREBALLS. REPEAT UNTIL HE DIES.
QUEEN MEDUSA IS, BY A LONG STRETCH, THE SECOND MOST EASIEST BOSS IN THE GAME. BE SURE TO HAVE EITHER THE FIREBOMBS (a.k.a. HOLY WATER) OR THE BOOMERANG BEFORE YOU ENCOUNTER THE BOSS.AT THE END OF STAGE 06, YOU’LL ENTER A ROOM WHICH LOOKS LIKE A BIG CHURCH WITH WINDOWS IN THE BACKGROUND AND A STONE STATUE IN THE CENTRE.
QUEEN MEDUSA WILL THEN EMERGE FROM THE STATUE. HER METHOD OF ATTACK IS THAT SHE SENDS OUT A SNAKE FROM HER HAIR STRAIGHT TOWARDS YOU. IF YOU HAVE THE FIREBOMBS AND A DOUBLE SHOT (YOU CAN FIND A DOUBLE SHOT IN THE FLOOR AFTER THE CRUSHING PISTONS AT THE START OF STAGE 06), START THROWING THEM THE INSTANT QUEEN MEDUSA APPEARS FROM THE STATUE.
REPEAT UNTIL QUEEN MEDUSA IS NO MORE.
THESE TWO MUMMIES ARE NO PUSHOVERS! IF YOUR HEALTH IS LOW, THERE IS A PORK CHOP HIDDEN IN THE LAST STAIR BLOCK BEFORE YOU ENTER THE MUMMIES’ ROOM. HOWEVER, IF YOU DO BREAK THE STAIR TO REVEAL THE PORK CHOP, YOU’LL NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM THE NEXT STEP BELOW. BE SURE TO HAVE THE FIREBOMBS AND PLENTY OF HEARTS IN YOUR POSSESSION, BEFORE YOU BATTLE THESE TWO ANCIENT CORPSES.WHEN THE MUMMIES COME TO ATTACK YOU, THEIR METHOD OF ATTACK IS TO SEND MUMMY WRAPPINGS YOUR WAY. IF YOU DID NOT BREAK THE STAIR’S BLOCK AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, STAND ON THE TOP OF THE STAIRS AND THROW YOUR FIREBOMBS DOWN INTO THE MUMMIES’ PATHS TO SLOWLY OBLITERATE THEM. IF YOU DID BREAK THE BLOCK, JUST THROW YOUR FIREBOMBS AT ONE OF THE MUMMIES. WHEN ONE DIES, FINISH OFF THE OTHER ONE WITH THE SAME METHOD.
THE METHOD OF STANDING ON TOP OF THE STAIRS AND THROWING DOWN THE FIREBOMBS IS BY FAR, THE EASIEST METHOD THAT I KNOW OF TO DEFEAT THE MUMMY MEN. GOOD EH?
THE METHOD OF KILLING THE MUMMY MEN APPLY HERE TO THE BOSS OF STAGE 12. BE SURE TO HAVE AN AMPLE SUPPLY OF HEARTS (YOU CAN GET HEARTS FROM THE HUNCHBACKS, EAGLES AND SKELEDRAGONS IN STAGE 11), THE FIREBOMBS AND A TRIPLE SHOT.UPON ENTERING THE BOSS’S ROOM, IGOR WILL BE STANDING ON FRANKENSTEIN’S SHOULDERS. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT LET IGOR JUMP AROUND THE ROOM. START THROWING YOUR FIREBOMBS AT FRAKENSTEIN’S FEET TO FREEZE HIM AND KEEP IGOR AT BAY.
THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT FOR THIS BOSS. ONCE FRANKENSTEIN IS DEFEATED, YOU CAN GET ON WITH YOUR QUEST TO DEFEAT DRACULA.
THE GRIM REAPER IS THE MOST HARDEST BOSS TO BEAT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TRIPLE SHOT BOOMERANG IN YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU MEET THE REAPER.WHEN YOU ENTER THE REAPER'S ROOM, START TOSSING YOUR BOOMERANGS LIKE THERE'S NO TOMMORROW, EVEN BEFORE THE REAPER APPEARS. SICKLES WILL APPEAR AND HEAD TOWARDS YOU. AVOID OR WHIP THE SICKLES AND KEEP THROWING YOUR BOOMERANGS UNTIL THE REAPER FINALLY DIES.
JUST BE SURE NOT TO LOSE ANY HEALTH IN THE FINAL STAGE BEFORE THE GRIM REAPER. IF YOU DO, YOU'VE GOT A 50/50 CHANCE OF BEING KILLED.
DRACULA'S FIRST FORM IS HIS HUMAN FORM. HE RISES UP FROM THE GROUND AND ATTACKS YOU BY SENDING THREE FIREBALLS OUT FROM HIS CLOAK. WHIP THEM OR AVOID THEM BY JUMPING OVER THEM. GO FOR THE HEAD!! THE HEAD!! DAMN YOU, THE HEAD!! THAT'S HOW TO DEFEAT DRACULA IN HIS FIRST UNEARTHLY FORM.DRACULA’S SECOND FORM IS THAT OF A HUGE, WHITE GARGOYLE-TYPE CREATURE THAT JUMPS AROUND A BIT, SHAKING THE ROOM A BIT WHEN HE LANDS. JUST CHUCK THE FIREBOMBS AT HIS FEET UNTIL HE DIES. THEN GRAB THE MAGIC CRYSTAL AND SIT BACK AND WATCH THE ENDING.
