Giant Toad

The Giant Toad defeated

In this fight, your opponent will be a demon that has assumed the form of a giant toad. It is much taller than a human, and its weapon is a spear. In itself, the battle is quite easy when you learn your opponent's attacks. The fight has been divided into two phases. At first, the toad attacks you with several basic attacks, but as the fight progresses, the array of abilities it uses gets wider. Du7ring the fight, it is best to keep close to the opponent, because you will avoid some of the attacks this way.

The Giant Toad uses several attacks.

1. Spear jab - the Toad launches a single attack with a long range. To avoid it, it is best to dodge forward when you are close to the opponent. When you are farther away, it is better to dodge to the side, or run left or right.
2. Leap - An attack that is easy to predict and avoid. When the toad is getting ready for the leap, get away to a safe distance. After it lands on the ground, dash up and deal several blows.
3. Pipe attack - The opponent takes the pipe out from its mouth and attacks with it. Easy to block.
4. Tongue attack - The opponent removes the pipe from its mouth and throws its tongue in your direction. If you fail to dodge, you will end up in its mouth, chewed and spit out. The attack consumes many health points.
5. Fire shuriken - The opponent throws several fire shuriken at you. Easy to block.
6. Bombs - the toad throws several incendiary, or paralyzing bombs. The attack is impossible to block and the only way out is dodging. When you are behind the opponent, within close proximity, you will take no damage.

Ogress

1. The Ogress is yet another opponent that it is easy to stay close to and stay in constant movement. She is quite quick, which makes the fight tad more complicated, but there is a way to win. Before the battle, it is a good idea to obtain healing items and, if possible, have the amulet of idleness, which slows the Ogress down. Her attacks deal a lot of damage, but with a bit of patience, you can quickly defeat her. The thing is to keep close to the opponent and try to stay behind the ogress for as long as possible, which is when you avoid standard attacks. The only exception is her jump. As soon as you notice that she is preparing for the jump, dash away to a safe distance, return and land your blows. Then, repeat. Apart from healing items, it is also a good idea to obtain some amulets that give your weapon a bonus of damage from elements.
