PrinceWatercress plays Akuji The Heartless - Part 4 of 14


In this entry, we face our first boss before heading into the second vestibule, where the tricks, traps and monsters ramp up. The second part of the game is where things start getting interesting.


1:01 - The battle with Mahdi.

Destroy the Tarus Points for spells. Use the stalagmites to avoid the fireballs, and run away from the spheres that home in on you, and when Mahdi comes to your neck of the woods, be ready to hang back and shoot fireballs at it. If you can get the Shield of Blood spell, use it,  get close to Mahdi and tear away at him with your blades to to refill your health and deal a ton of damage. If you can get Soul Seeker ammo, be ready to shoot at run to chip away at Mahdi's health.

4:26 - After you beat Mahdi, Akuji makes a sacrifice to the gods.

5:07 - Baron Samedi opens up the second vestibule. From here, Oinos is your next destination.

6:27 - The introduction to Oinos. Be ready to kick butt when you start the level, as these blue reapers teleport when you hit them. Thankfully, you can see their shadow and see where they move. The blue skulls give you Spirit Strike, which is a much more powerful version of Soul Seeker. As for the spiked roller, watch where there are not spikes and be in those positions when you move across.

7:11 - The health meter increases!

7:38 - Don't let these boulders touch you.

9:09 - The first ancestor. Hit the Tarus Point to open the way forward Also, the Ring of Death, which has been shown before, allows you to attack enemies that are near you for a ton of damage.

10:35 - The cobra cannons.

11:26 - To beat this beast, get its attention so it charges at you, then run to the side and hit it a few times with your melee attacks before it turns around. If it kicks its front leg forward, it's about to run at you. From here, lather, rinse and repeat.

12:38 - More boulders. The Captivity Strike zaps nearby enemies, doing damage while holding them in place. Combine this with melee attacks for a devastating combo.

13:58 - The second ancestor is directly across from this Loa Stone. You'll have to jump forward, land on the arch, then jump forward again to get the ancestor. Be sure to get the health if you need it.

14:43 - The Akuji mask refills all your health, regardless of how much you have. Save them for when you need them.

15:10 - You'll have to make your way to the top while fighting enemies and avoiding retracting spikes to hit switches and allow access to another Loa Stone.

18:01 - The third ancestor.

18:34 - The fourth ancestor.

19:16 - The Ring of Death is useful against these guys. Also, look behind the spirit gate for voodoo dolls.

20:14 - The Baron opens up Discord.
