Yaksha King in a nutshell

1. Once defeated, Red Boy will transform into Yaksha King. Fortunately, if you lose against the King, you won't have to repeat the entire fight with Red Boy.
2. Watch out for the distinctive spikes in the arena. The boss can create this attack very quickly and it deals significant damage. Watch the ground and as soon as you notice them, run away from them.
3. Like Red Boy, Yaksha King is susceptible to stuns. Strong, charged blows or finishing attacks will work very well against this enemy.

Yaksha King's attacks

1. Burning attacks - Yaksha King uses his staff to perform swing combos, sometimes shooting out flames. It can also hit the ground, sparking a flame in that spot. Before each attack, perform a dodge backwards, unless you are already away from it.
2. Creating clones - Yaksha King will fly into the air and create many clones that act as projectiles. At the very end, he will shoot his own body as a projectile towards you. The moment the opponent's body is close to the ground, dodge as quickly as possible.
3. Burning Wheel - Yaksha King will start throwing his wheel weapon. Every bullet flies in a straight line, so perform side dodges to avoid taking damage.

1. Sword combo attacks - Yaksha King will attack you five times with a single sword. The attacks are very fast, so focus mainly on dodging and don't even try to attack him until he finishes the sequence.
2. Extending swords - the boss can significantly extend his swords, which are attached to his arms. He will attack up to six times. The first, third, fifth, and sixth swings are horizontal attacks, while the second and fourth are vertical. Strikes performed in a straight line are somewhat slower, so don't rush with the dodge that much.

1. Thorn field - the boss can also create a large thorn field. The first hit will cause thorns to appear closer to him. The second time around the field will widen. Withdraw from this area as soon as possible to avoid receiving a large amount of damage.

How to fight Yaksha King?

The fight operates on similar principle as the one with Red Boy. Strong, charged attacks and blows that finish off a series of quick attacks will often cause the boss to be stunned and unable to perform offensive actions.

However, if you have no way to stun or immobilize him, you must deal with his attacks. He has a lot of combinations and it's hard to stop him once he starts performing them. Primarily, watch our for the extended swords, as they can cause you the most trouble.

Remember to use your Fireproof Mantle as some attacks deal fire damage. Gaining focus will allow you to use powerful charged attacks faster.

Yaksha King is resistant to fire damage, so if you do want to use a transformation, it's best to use one that has an element other than fire.
