Boss Fight: Gurthka

  1. Gurthka has 4 main attacks: a ground slam with fireballs, a flying dash with claw swipe and fireballs, a wide fire breath, and ground pillars.
  2. He also summons a blue aura skull for free damage.
  3. The arena now has fire in the center, limiting movement. Stay on one side and attack when safe.
  4. Dodge his attacks, learning their patterns and safe zones. His fire breath can be avoided by moving to the opposite side of the arena.
  5. The fight is similar to the previous encounter, with the added arena hazard being the main difference.
Tips
  • To deflect 10 enemy projectiles, lure a Red Ninja and have him repeatedly throw shuriken at you.
  • The secret room containing the Scroll is behind a breakable wall in the cave before Shrine #2.
  • The Triple Golden Scarab is found after Gurthka burns the bridge.
  • Use the elite enemies (those with a blue aura) to your advantage to defeat tougher foes like Fuma Shields.
  • When Gurthka uses his fire breath, move to the opposite side of the arena to avoid it.
  • For his ground slam attack, dodge between the fireballs and attack him during his recovery.
