Boss Battle: Treasure Knight

  • General Information: Treasure Knight is a visually distinct boss. This fight is manageable with good reflexes. His anchor attacks act like boomerangs, so watch for the recoil. Once his HP is low, he uses a chest attack. The Flare Wand is very helpful, and the Phase Locket is useful for the sand wave move.
  • Anchor Shot: He shoots an anchor across the screen (jump over it and bounce off him as he follows) or shoots it into the ceiling, then moves across the room and shoots down at you (avoid the downward shot). After the second shot, you have time to attack.
  • Bubble Shots: He shoots about four bubbles at you. These do not contain gems.
Tips
  • Fishing the spot mentioned in step 6 should net you the "Master Angler" feat.
  • If you had trouble with the angler fish earlier, save at the checkpoint before it.
  • The Phase Locket is useful for the sand wave move during the Treasure Knight fight.
  • The Flare Wand is the most helpful relic for the Treasure Knight boss fight.
  • [_GOLD FISH_]
  • [_CHEST_] (contains loot)
  • [_SHEET MUSIC_]
  • [_CHEST_] (contains major gems)
