Boss Fight: Reize

  • General Information: Reize is very mobile and uses a dangerous Boomerang attack. He is vulnerable until he uses his flame attack. Use the Flare Wand initially, then switch to the Phase Locket or Chaos Orb when he uses his flame attack.
  • Attacks:
    • Dual Boomerangs: Reize throws boomerangs that bounce randomly.
    • Downward Kick: Reize performs a sharp downward kick when not throwing boomerangs. This is an opportune moment to attack, but be mindful of boomerang positions.
    • Flame Circle: When low on health, Reize creates rotating flame circles around himself. These can be destroyed in one hit. The Chaos Orb is effective for bouncing through them.

Armor Village Shops:

  • Shovel Smith Shop:
    • Charge Handle: 4,000 Gold (Hold attack for a charge slash)
    • Trench Blade: 3,000 Gold (Dig up a pile in one motion)
    • Drop Spark: 6,000 Gold
Tips
  • The Sand Wave attack from Treasure Knight requires a perfect jump to avoid. The Phase Locket may be helpful.
  • The Whirlwind Treasure attack creates a whirlwind that pulls you in, and Reize shoots bubbles that are spun by the wind. Outrun the chest while jumping over the bubbles.
  • For Reize, the Downward Kick is the best time to hit him.
  • Use the Chaos Orb to bypass Reize's Flame Circle attack.
  • Gems after defeating Reize.
  • Music Sheet after defeating Reize.
  • Music Sheet in Armor Village.
  • Access to Shovel Smith upgrades in Armor Village.
