We make some huge progress in this entry as we take on a forest guardian as well as some Hard Man clone. Geez, could this game be any more of a direct rip-off?
Magic Forest
(continued)
The boss here is a cocoon. This is pretty simple: just don't stand where it falls. After you damage it enough, you'll unleash the butterfly inside. He flies around and shoots four spores at you in diagonal directions. Stay directly at his side as he flies around and whack him. He's pretty easy.
Beating him gives you the Web. This lets you capture enemies and toss them into other enemies.
Secret Cliff
The ground at the beginning is pretty slippery, so be careful as you move around.
The dragons slowly move around and spit fireballs. Beating them up isn't really worth it, so just jump over them (which you can easily do).
Don't know why they're still in the game, but the wooden statues with the Japanese fans run towards you. They take two hits to kill and they usually carry gourds.
Don't touch the TNT. Just jump over it, as the TNT does a heart's worth of damage.
As you climb up the ladders, look out for the boulders. If you go to the nook at the right at the very top and strike at the air, you'll find a big heart.
You can use the Whirlwind Technique to break the blocks and get the Spear Extension power-up. From there, just jump through the gold blocks to continue. You'll be able to pass by the green guy, which takes a few hits to kill.
The two green platforms move up as you jump on them. The first set can grant you a Magic Potion if you keep on jumping. You'll have to be quick on the draw with them, as they fall down and send you tumbling if you spend too much time on them.
As you take the circular motion platforms across the spike pit, watch out for the boulders that are thrown at you from the left side of the screen by an unknown assailant. If you know what you're doing on the platforms, they're pretty easy to dodge.
The boss is some sort of turtle. He'll bounce up and down around the room a few times, then uncurl himself and try to punch you once, a la Hard Man. (Hey, Jaleco, Mega Man 3 called.) When he stops, you can hit him with a downward stab as you jump over him for a free hit.
Beating him gives you the spear toss attack, which lets you toss a spear as you attack.
Fire Test
The turtle soldiers with the shields can be made into mincemeat with the spear toss attack, but a direct spear attack is the best way to go.
You're going to be dealing with a lot more boulders here.
The phoenixes can be easily taken care of with the upward thrust.
If you can reach the little nook just above the entrance to the climbing section and strike the air, you'll be able to find a lantern.
The platforms that rise out of the lava and fall back into it are pretty fast, so you'd better be quick while you're on them.
The boss here is some sort of blue flame. He'll float around in circles, giving you some pretty easy shots on him. He'll then turn into a fire monster, shooting the blue flames in four diagonal directions. He then leaps around across before changing back into the blue flame. He's really easy to beat, believe it or not.
Beating him gives you the fire attack. When you attack with it, your spear tip will burn ablaze with fire. This will help in the...
Ice Ritual
You'll start the stage going down, much like the Shadow Man stage in Mega Man 3. The pink hands move around like the green hands in the first level, and the purple guy near the end of the first section can be easily killed with the fire attack. After you go left, you'll be going down again. Use your downward thrust so some of the enemies won't damage you.
