The Flame Lord is a boss in Demon's Crest. It is a monster made of flame.
Description[]
The Flame Lord acts as the area boss of the appropriately named Forest Fire stage. As Firebrand approaches the most dense area of the forest, what appear to be birds made of fire will suddenly fly to the treetops and produce an intense fire, setting the entire forest ablaze. After advancing a few steps further through this now fiery landscape, Firebrand encounters the same flaming birds again, which now fly down from the treetops, with the Flame Lord emerging from their converging spot and revealing it was him who started the fire. An encounter between the two demons then takes place. The fight against the Flame Lord consists in two phases.
- Phase 1
The Flame Lord appears as the torso of a humanoid skeleton engulfed in flames. He has three attacks:
- Releases two flaming birds from its body that then chase after Firebrand. These can be destroyed in midair.
- Releases four flaming birds that fly upward at different distances from each other and then drop as damaging fireballs to the ground.
- Adopts a somewhat beast-like form and performs a long pounce at the player. Jump over him to avoid.
- Phase 2
After sustaining enough damage, the Flame Lord will transform into an amalgamation of three floating large skulls. He has three attacks:
- Flies high above, out of Firebrand's normal reach, and then moves from one end of the room to the other while vomiting several fireballs along his path. It isn't advisable moving under him while trying to avoid the falling fireballs, but instead to try to get away from his entire path, just taking care of not getting cornered afterward.
- Moves in an undulating manner from one side of the room to the other. Pass under him when he's at a high altitude and then chase after him through the rest of the attack damaging him with the "Buster" crest.
- Performs a large swoop across almost the entire room.
Most of the Flame Lord's attacks during his two phases are relatively simple to avoid. However, the main problem this boss poses is that each attack deals a high amount of damage; so, it will take just a few hits from him to defeat the player. As such, it's recommended to bring a few health restorative potions to this fight.
Defeating the Flame Lord yields Firebrand the piece of the Fire Crest called "Tornado".
