Changes: Phalanx

Revision as of 15:35, 11 July 2012

Phalanx is the demon that ambushed Firebrand after his battle with the demon dragon for the crest of heaven. As Firebrand was already critically wounded, he was defeated and Phalanx took all the crests Firebrand had obtained in battle with other demons. Using first the crest of heaven and after that the crest of infinity, he can power up in battle.

Strategy

Normal form

He flies back and forth, forming plasma balls that bounce until they hit the spikes. Sometimes he will fly low and fast, trying to either cut you with his razor wings, or to shoot a charged plasma ball right in your face (you can destroy his plasma with fire or demonfire). Weak against DemonFire.

Heaven morph

Same as above, but this time most of the room will be flooded with water, so careful with it. After taking some heavy damage, he will drain all of the water and start attacking with new techniques, like a black hole that renders you immobile for a few seconds, a circling plasma ball and a strong gust that tries to blow you into the spikes. Still weak against DemonFire.

Ultimate Phalanx

After obtaining the crest of infinity, he becomes a gargantuan monstrosity and floods the entire place with lava. You battle him in small rocky platforms that will push Firebrand towards Phalanx. These rocks are more of an annoyance than a help, leaving you cornered often; try to stay on the upper areas as much as possible in order to escape easily from attacks (you can destroy the rocks with the legendary morph or demonfire).

Phalanx will shoot large bolts in your direction quite often, destroying any rocks flying in their path. He is also constantly producing small energy balls that chase you until you destroy them. He doesn't have any temporal invincibility when he takes a hit, but his hands will block your attacks, only neglecting defense to shoot a huge laser breath, so you can only hurt him with one or two shots. However, if you are feeling kamikaze, then you can either remain in place when he shoots his laser breath and keep shooting, or go straight at him and ignore the damage his arms do to unleash a rain of attacks right in his ugly face (if you want to do heavy damage, equip the fang, but if you don't have it, use the armor), but remember that his laser won't hurt as much as his body, so if you want to try, then bring many potions. Weak against the legendary gargoyle.

When you defeat him, you get the crest of infinity!!
