Stage 5

Use Wave to take out all the birds at the beginning.

Now that you have all twelve rings, it's time to unlock the Elemental Sword. To do that, put Level 3 Wind and Level 3 Earth on one hand and Level 3 Water and Level 3 Fire on the other. By doing this, you'll get the Blade spell for both hands. This lets you wield the Elemental Sword, which can shoot projectiles of mass destruction.

There will be gold boxes that spit flames (which you can duck under or jump over), skeletons with maces that they can swing around and statues that shoot projectiles. The first enemy is indestructible, but the other two are casualties waiting to happen thanks to the Blade.

You'll be able to find a potion that gives you three blocks worth of health as you go up the tower.

There is a green enemy that tries to gnaw at you, but it goes down in one blow with the Blade's projectile.

From here, go down. Thake out the enemies below, then uses Speed Up and Double Jump to avoid the flamethrower-shooting gold blocks that fly at you. From here, go up and use Double Jump to jump across the gold projectiles before spears come out and hit you from below.

Going right from here takes you to a gold box you'll have to destroy. Destroying it will open up a bridge to the next section.

Use the Double Jump to make your way to the right. You'll be switching between this and . Take the platform up, then go left and double jump to the potion so you don't fall down a fake floor and into enemies. Go right from the platform, and take out the statue to continue in that direction. Further to the right, destroy the next statue, then drop down, hold Right and destroy another statue. Drop down, hold right, then keep going right. Use Blade to destroy the ceiling, then keep going right. At the dead end, go up and then left, destroy the ceiling, go right, destroy the Phoenix with Blade and go right.

In the next section, have Blade equipped at all times. Get the whole red statue on screen, then keep shooting Blade projectiles. For the Blue Statue, get the Level 3 version of Fire Ball equipped, then keep most of the blue statue on the right side of the screen while ducking down and shooting Fire Ball at the statue. If you can stand in just the right spot, the statue's projectiles will never hit you.

For the green statue, equip Blade and jump and shoot at it as much as you can. Its ball and chain does a good job of hitting you, but the quicker you kill this boss, the more health you'll be able to keep. Ditto for the gray statue, which keeps shooting Wave.

You'll then face Jardine the Mad at the top. Keep firing Blade at him, and when he turns into a skull, jump over the ball he spits out as he moves around three times, then he will move around three times again before becoming human again. Keep firing Blade at him, and when he is about to turn fully white, have Double Jump equipped so you can jump over the after image of himself that he shoots at you. From here, the pattern repeats himself. For this battle, you just have to get lucky so you don't run into him.

Once Jardine the Mad explodes, peace returns. You've won!
