Once he hits the ground and is stunned for a few seconds, get a few repeated slashes in or use one of your special abilities to maximize damage. During the Emperors jumping attack it is best to dash away and slash at him from a side angle.

These can be used against The Emperor (Toad King) as they can deal damage to him upon explosion. The Emperor (Toad King) will also spit out two disgusting plant beastlings from his mouth that explode when they’re killed.This is an area of effect attack where The Emperor (Toad King) will smash the ground with his might fists which is quite painful and slows you down. The Emperors (Toad King) ground pound attack is a close range one that does 2 damage per attack.These are randomly thrown in the player’s area and are best avoided with the dash ability. The Emperors (Toad King) flame jar toss ability deals 2 damage per jar to the Drifter and is his opening attack when the fight begins.Though this is also the most risky of the methods, using his own weapons against him is best and does a lot of damage in a really short period of time if executed properly.

If you are skilled enough to avoid them using your dash ability, then you can be rewarded with a series of explosion chains which will cause the Archer to take a TON of damage. The third and probably most effective way to kill the Archer is by allowing him to fill the screen with mines. Doing so will allow you to continuously attack him and avoid his triple shot ability. Another great strategy for defeating the Archer is by dashing around the screen and trying to stay in lock step with his movements. During this time he is completely stationary, allowing you get in some serious attacks.

During this attack, the Archer will point his bow skyward and begin firing. One of the main exploits that this boss has is when he is using his Volley of Mines attack. The Archer is one of the easier bosses in the game as his attack patterns are pretty predictable.

The mines can be triggered by dashing over them or with the Roly Polies bomb weapon. The Archers volley of mines rain down 4 mines from the sky into random areas around the Drifter and do 2 damage per explosion. Probably one of the most vicious attacks if you are caught in it.This attack can also be deflected using the “Sword Deflection” ability. When you are at a distance from the Archer he tends to repeatedly fire this attack, so it’s best to stay close. The Archers triple shot can be a nasty attack to get caught in as it does 1 damage/arrow (3 damage).This attack can be defended if you have the “Sword Deflection” sword ability at the time of this battle. If you are standing still, you are surely going to get hit with this attack.
