I went here way too early...and yet I somehow got the best pattern on the boss. HOW.

Area III: Thorn Grove

Map (by Will Mallia)

At the bottom of the level, there is a doorway covered in dirt. Headbutt the opening to open it up, then go in.

Area III: Underground Dyke

Map (by Will Mallia)

The enemies here will spit projectiles at you, so be ready to hit them with Buster. Also, the water will rise and fall. Since you don't have a means of being in the water without getting hurt, use the platforms and your hover ability to stay above water, and watch out for ground and ceiling spikes. You'll also have the fish to contend with as well.

If you stay high, you'll find a bunch of blocks with a pot behind it. Breaking the pot will net you another vellum.

Eventually, you'll be able to rise to the top at the end and enter another section.

Area III: Scula Cave

Map (by Will Mallia)

Once again, use the platforms and your hover ability to stay up high.

Eventually, you'll face the Scula. Stay close to the body and keep hitting it with Buster. Whenever it throws its head, be ready to jump over and hover above the body so you don't get hit when the Scula retrieves its head.

The Scula can also jump around and try to land on you. Get away from it when it does that so you don't get squashed.

When the body is gone, the head remains. Change into the Ground Gargoyle and keep hitting it with the Y button projectile on the ground when it lands. You'll keep knocking it back and on the ground, and the head will eventually fall. Beating the Scula will score you another health extension.
