Part 20

Master Part 20 of Samson! Learn enemy attack patterns, weaknesses, and effective strategies to defeat the Dragon boss and all other foes.

Alright, let's dive into Part 20! This section is all about getting familiar with the enemies you'll be facing and, of course, taking down a boss. We've got a mix of smaller foes and a fiery dragon to deal with, so let's break down what you're up against and how to handle them.

Enemy Breakdown:

• Spiked Ball: These float towards you and explode into smaller spikes when hit or killed. Be careful, as the smaller spikes can catch you off guard. It takes 3 Lickle/Dragon hits, or 1 Golem/Mouse hit to defeat them.
• Skull (Small): These travel in a straight or curved path depending on the skull. They're pretty straightforward, requiring just 1 Lickle/Dragon/Golem hit or 1 Mouse hit to take down.
• Skull (Large): Think of these as dispensers for the small skulls. They sit there until they pop out small skulls, often in multiple directions. They're tougher, needing 11 Lickle/Dragon hits or 2 Golem hits (1 Mouse hit).
• Slime: These stationary enemies are some of the first you'll encounter. They occasionally shoot seeds in two directions. They're easy to defeat, needing only 1 Lickle/Dragon/Golem hit or 1 Mouse hit.
• Slug: These slug-like creatures crawl on ceilings and drop pellets. They require 4 Lickle/Dragon hits or 1 Golem/Mouse hit.
• Stone Block: Found in castles, these look like regular blocks but will jump at you when you get close. You can only defeat them while they're jumping, and it only takes 1 hit (Lickle, Dragon, Golem, or Mouse).
• Worm: These enemies stick to walls and will slide towards you if you get too close as Lickle or Mouse. They go down in 1 Lickle/Dragon/Golem hit or 1 Mouse hit.

Boss: Dragon

Moves:

• The Dragon flies back and forth in the air and can land on the ground.
• It shoots a fireball straight ahead whenever you attack.
• It randomly changes colors while flying. When it lands in a new color, it launches three large fireballs in an arc.

Strategy:

• This fight isn't too tough if you stick to the pattern. Wait for the Dragon to land, then hit it with a rock while jumping over the fireballs it spits.
• You'll notice it only attacks when you do. So, the main strategy is to hit it, jump, and hit it again. Keep doing this, waiting for it to land each time it takes off.
• Be sure to stay away from it when it changes colors, and only attack when it comes down.
• Cheap Kill Tip: Wait for the Dragon to land the first time, hit it, and jump over its fireball. Land right next to it and rapidly attack. You can often defeat it this way quickly.
