PrinceWatercress plays Legendary Wings - Part 5 of 5


Welcome to the final level of the game. This is the hardest level to survive unless you know a few tricks and you can find that bonus area and enter it. Once you make it to the boss, be ready for a heck of a fight.

Level 5

Take out as many ground turrets as you can to make fighting off enemies easier. Also, if you have the Turtle Dove form, you'll want to do your best to take as little damage as possible, keep the Turtle Dove form and use the P icons to recover your extra hits when you can.

I can't avoid the face here, so here's what happens when one of the huge faces near the beginning of a level sucks you in: you'll be in an underground area. In the areas where the blue enemies fly up, hang back and shoot yourself a path to the other side, then zoom forward when the blue enemies close in. When you see the huge worm, shoot it in the head. As for the forks in the road, always take the top route. You'll have fewer problems that way.

At the end, you'll be in an enclosed area where you'll have to shoot all the worms in the head in order to continue on. These worms shoot bubbles that cannot be shot down by your weapons, so be careful. Thankfully, you can switch the direction you're facing with Left and Right on the Control Pad in this room.

There are walls with turrets that you cannot shoot down due to being on the side where they can't be shot down. For these, keep moving downwards if you're moving towards them. Their shots will miss you every time.

There is a turret with a whirlwind that takes you to a bonus area. If you take a hit while bombing that turret, the whirlwind won't catch you if your invisibility frames are in effect. You'll definitely want to catch that whirlwind; besides the obvious bonus area, you'll get a breather from the turrets in addition to all the tense action in this level.

After this, you'll have a few more walls with turrets you can't kill. You'll have to bum rush your way through this, hopefully without getting hit a lot. Watch out for the gray X-shaped enemies as well as the spinning enemies that shoot and run. After this, you have the usual temple entrance situation of bombable statue faces and the dragon before going in.

The temple starts with pink robots and ceiling turrets. Shoot them all down. If you need some P icons, you'll have to brave some corridors and some wall turrets to get them, so move and think fast. There are a few more at the green enemies near the end. After that, it's more pink robots and ceiling turrets before you face the boss.

The boss here has at least seven eyes. Once again, take out as many eyes as you can while taking care of the boss. Once you beat the boss, you'll need to destroy the flashing, fleshy walls behind the weak point in order to get to the other side. 

At the other side is a green core. Four fireballs will move towards it. You'll want to avoid these fireballs at all times, whether they are travelling to the boss or being fired at your current position, so get your shots in and stay on the move. Just like with the worm battle room, you can change the direction you're facing with Left and Right on the D-Pad.

Sometimes you may find a black image of the core inside your character's sprite while you're flying around. If you notice this, then you've just found out where the boss is going to teleport to. Line yourself up and get a whole ton of shots, then avoid the fireballs. If you can't find it, don't worry; just play conservatively and get your shots in when you can.

Once you destroy the core, you've saved humanity from extinction and you've beaten Legendary Wings! Congratulations!
