Boss Fight: Gurthka

  1. Gurthka has four main attacks: a ground slam with fireballs, a flying claw swipe with returning fireballs, a wide fire breath, and a ground eruption creating fire pillars.
  2. He also summons a blue aura skull for free damage.
  3. The arena now has fire in the center, restricting movement. Stay on one side and attack when safe.
  4. Dodge his attacks, learning their patterns and safe zones. His second attack is common, so wait for him to approach.
  5. His fire breath has a safe zone on the opposite side of the room.
  6. The fire pillars require precise positioning between them.
  7. This fight is similar to the previous encounter, with the main difference being the arena's central fire hazard.
Tips
  • Deflect 10 enemy projectiles: Stay near the first Red Ninja and let him repeatedly throw shuriken at you.
  • Avoid falling into pits: Be cautious in all areas with gaps and ledges.
  • Secret Room: Destroy the fake wall in the cave before Shrine #2 to find the Scroll.
  • Golden Scarabs: Collect 5, plus a Triple Scarab, for a total of 8.
  • Crystal Skulls: Find 3 throughout the stage.
  • Muramasa's Shop: Use Golden Scarabs to purchase talismans like Blood Frenzy.
