The Serpent in the woods has only two attacks. Its bite which can poison you, or his tail sweep, which it uses each time it gets hit.

To beat it, you have to keep a out of its bites distance. Whenever it constantly keeps spamming the attack, remember its attack speed and wait for it until it gets in attack range. Once it gets close enough, hit it with a single up strike or a powerful strike (pressing both attack buttons).

Once you hit it, immediately cartwheel / roll left and away from it. Do this until it is dead.

It may take a few tries before you get the timing perfectly on landing an attack.

DON'T LET YOURSELF BE HIT! Its main and only attack is immensly strong and usually kills you in 1-2 hits.

However, as much damage as it deals, its extremly easy to kill as well. If you get close to it, it'll push you off it. Thats when you have to cartwheel / roll right towards it and it'll attack but miss you. Right after that, you can go for a low strike combo.

Repeat the process until you're victorious.

Definitly one of the most difficult bosses in the game. It'll constantly spam its laser attack if you're out of attack range. Try to get used to the pattern and parry the laser (not 100% success, keep that in mind).

There are two ways to kill this boss efficiently.

Way 1: If you're using Sheyna and haven't bought any weapon yet, you have a chance to reflect its laser back to it and stun / glitch it. After that, constantly use single (!) high strikes and keep your track on it. The reflecting may also work with other weapons or the male barbarian, however, I had no success any other way than with Sheyna and her default sword.

Way 2: It's pretty similiar. Parry its laser until you're in attack range. Here you have to be VERY quick and hit him once with a high strike. If you miss or you're too slow, it'll hit you with its claw and spam lasers again, which deals a ton of damage.
Once you hit it, go two steps forward, hit, two steps forward, repeat. That way you put it in a state, where its recovery time from getting hit is slower than your attack speed.

However, even with these two strategies, its still difficult to defeat this enemy.

The same as the endboss in Stage 2. It hits hard, but it's easy to defeat. He'll spam push when you get to close, but keep going for a low strike combo.

This boss is really easy, it only may get a bit harder if it manages to push you towards the left edge of the screen and its pushes actually push you instead of just dragging you along with it. When you're at the left side, it actually can hit you, but dodging towards it (right) will get you out of reach again.

Yet another one of the more easy bosses. If you already have the jump attack, use it to get rid of its tentacles. Then simply do the same thing on its body and it'll dive under and you got to repeat the process over and over until its finished.

If you do not have the jump attack yet, a high strike on the tentacles might do the job as well, however, it may get a bit more difficult.

If its tentacles are off, watch out, as if you're getting to close to its body without attacking it, it'll simply chop your head off.

Nothing special about this fight. This is really just a normal encounted really with a tough enemy.

It can poison you and may use a tail sweep here and there, but most of the time, it'll just parry your attacks.

Its certainly nothing you cannot accomplish.

Yet another hit and run enemy. It has three attacks: A tail crush, that'll cause a rock to fall behind you, an instant kill chopping your head off, and the fire breath that deals a very high amount of damage. Altho last can be blocked by standing behind the previous mentioned rock.

Best strategy against this enemy is to get closer so it uses its tail crush and then wait until it turns back to you. Just in the moment the head appears, get ready to hit on it with a massive hit (standing still and hit both attack buttons). It'll counter with a fire breath.

Now, as the rock might be too far behind you, dodge towards it (right) and you'll also be out of the fire breaths range. However, if you do not dodge back immediatly after its fire breath is over, you'll get your head bit off. If you evade correcly, it'll start with its tail crush again. So you have to repeat these patterns until you're victorious and get a very awesome reward.

She'll either catch you with a tentacle and make you unable to move, throw magic projectiles at you or instant kill you if she has a chance to get too close.

However, she's fairly easy. Just covering and wait for her to get closer and hit her. She may disturb you with her ranged tentacle trap, but you'll free of it by mashing the attack buttons fairly easy.

Once she's weakened (she has extremly low HP and defense for a boss), she'll finaly granted her long life dream of become a hentai actress :D

He is certainly not immortal, but yet again a very tough enemy.

Same as for the lizard king in stage 4, no real strategy needed. Its just another more difficult fight.

He's similiar to the witch in stage 6. He'll cast magic projectiles if you're away from him. However, unlike the witch, he'll aim for both, upper and lower body of yours. Try to avoid the projectiles or parry them. However, not 100% success rate again.

If you're close to him, he'll try to instant kill you. Just hit him before he gets a chance he'll teleport somewhere else on the screen.

Just keep avoiding and hitting him until he gives up.

For a final boss, he certainly isn't too hard. He'll fire magic projectiles at you, but they're not easy to parry. If you get close, he'll try to punch you. Make sure to hit his head before he has a chance. You can actually stay at the edge, as he gets pushed back every time you hit him and he has to return towards you. Just hit him again once he is in range with a high strike attack.

He may throw some more projectiles at you on his way back to the ledge.

If you defeat him, you have finally beaten the game. Congrats! And don't fall off the platform like I did after you defeat him...
