Dragon Spirit/Stage 5

Once the screen has faded back in and Amul has flown back into view from the bottom of it the text of "STAGE 5" will appear at the top of it as he starts moving forward again for a fifth time and the stage's main theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151; you'll also have noticed that the walls of this stage are also covered with spikes, and it will count as a hit if you fly into them. So as you come to a Blue Egg on the left side of the screen, you will have to drop a bomb on it to destroy it - and once you've done so a blue orb with the Barbadian trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it (for the extra points), ten Cape Bats will come flying towards you from the top of the screen; once you have shot off a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, you will come to a Spider on the right side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him and gone around his web (which will also count as a hit if you fly into it), the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will recede - but the other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will extend, and they will be both receding and extending quite a few times in this stage.

You'll then come to another Blue Egg, in the centre of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, another blue orb with the Barbados trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, ten more Cape Bats will come flying towards you from the top of the screen - and once you have shot off Level-3 flame at each of these to kill them, you will come to a Red Egg on the right side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it a red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul; once you have collected it for the extra points the first of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will, for a seventh time, be filled. You will then come to another Spider on the left side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him and gone around his web, the spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will recede. Ten more Cape Bats will then come flying towards you from top of the screen; once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, three Death Flatters will jump out of a pond in the centre of the screen, and come flying towards you. Once you have shot Level-3 flame at each of these to kill them, you will come to two more Spiders on the left and right sides of the screen who are firing projectiles at you - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at both of them to kill them and gone round both of their webs, ten more Cape Bats will come flying towards you from the top of the screen; once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of these to kill them, you will come up to a fifth Spider upon the right side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him, and gone around his web, both of the spike-covered walls will extend - and you will then come to a third Blue Egg in the centre of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a third blue orb with the Barbados trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul; once you have collected it for the extra points, both of the spike-covered walls will recede. A Gedo will then come bouncing towards you in centre of the screen, while sticking his tongue out at you - and once you've shot off a Level-3 flame (or two Level-2 flames, or three Level-1 flames), at him to kill him, ten more Cape Bats will come flying towards you from the top of the screen. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, you will come to a second Red Egg on the left side of the screen; once you have dropped a bomb upon it to destroy it, a second red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, the second of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will, (for a seventh time), be filled - and both of the spike-covered walls will then extend. Another Gedo will then come bouncing towards you in the centre of the screen while sticking his tongue out at you; once you've shot a Level-3 flame (or two Level-2 flames, or three Level-1 flames) at him to kill him both of the spike-covered walls will recede again. A third Gedo will then come bouncing towards you on the left side of the screen, while sticking his tongue out at you - and once you have shot off a Level-3 flame (or two Level-2 flames, or three Level-1 flames), at him to kill him, you will come to a sixth Spider upon that right side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him, and gone around his web, ten more Cape Bats will come flying towards you, from the top of the screen; once you've shot a Level-3 flame at each of these, to kill them, both of the spike-covered walls will extend. You will then come to a third Red Egg, on the right side of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a third red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, the last of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will (for the seventh time) be filled; both of the spike-covered walls will then recede. Ten more Cape Bats will then come flying towards you from the top of the screen - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them you will come to a seventh Spider on the left side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him, then gone around his web, a Caterpillar will come crawling towards you upon the left side of the screen while firing projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb upon him to kill him both of the spike-covered walls will extend. Ten more Cape Bats will then come flying towards you from the top of the screen - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, both of the spike-covered walls will recede. Three more Death Flatters will then jump out of a second pond in the centre of the screen, and come flying towards you; once you've shot a Level-3 flame at each of them, to kill them both of the spike-covered walls will extend. Ten more Cape Bats (the eighty-first of whom is flashing) will then come flying towards you from the top of the screen - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, the eighty-first one will send a randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul. Once you have collected this, it will take its effect on Amul as both of the spike-covered walls recede; a second Caterpillar will then come crawling towards you on the right side of the screen, while firing projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, you will come to a fourth Red Egg in the centre of the screen - and once you have dropped a bomb on it, to destroy it, a fourth red orb with the Star of David on it will come flying out of it towards Amul. Once you have collected it for the extra points, the first of the three "FIRE" rectangles in the bottom-right corner of the screen will, for an eighth time, be filled as both of the spike-covered walls extend; ten more Cape Bats will then come flying towards you, from the top of the screen. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of these to kill them both of the spike-covered walls will recede - and a third Caterpillar (who is flashing) will then come crawling towards you on the right side of the screen while firing projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him he will send second randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul; once you've collected it, it'll again take its effect on Amul as the first spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen extends, and the other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen recedes. Two more Caterpillars (the fifth of whom is flashing), will then come crawling towards you upon that right side of the screen while firing projectiles at you - and once you have dropped a bomb on both of these two to kill them, the fifth one will send a third randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul. Once you have collected it it will once again take its effect on Amul; the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will then recede, but the other spike-covered wall upon the right side of the screen will extend. A fourth Gedo will then come bouncing towards you on the left side of the screen, while sticking his tongue out at you - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame (or two Level-2 flames, or three Level-1 flames) at him to kill him the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will recede and the other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will extend, as you come to a fourth Blue Egg on the right side of the screen. Once you have dropped a bomb on it to destroy it, a fourth blue orb with the Barbados trident on it will come flying out of it towards Amul; once you have collected it for the extra points, the spike-covered wall upon the left side of the screen will recede, and that other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will extend, as a sixth Caterpillar comes crawling towards you in the centre of the screen, while firing off projectiles at you. Once you have dropped a bomb on him to kill him, ten more Cape Bats will come flying towards you, from the top of the screen - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of these, to kill them, a fifth Gedo will come bouncing towards you in the centre of the screen while sticking his tongue out at you. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame (or two Level-2 flames, or three Level-1 flames) at him to kill him a seventh Caterpillar (who's flashing) will come crawling towards you in the centre of the screen while firing projectiles at you; once you have dropped a bomb upon him to kill him, he will send a fourth randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul. Once you have collected it, it will yet again take its effect on Amul - and the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will then extend but the other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will recede as ten more Cape Bats, the 115th of whom is flashing, come flying towards you from the top of the screen. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, the 115th one will send a fifth randomly-generated powerup flying towards Amul; once you have collected it, it will for a fifth time take its effect on Amul. Three more Death Flatters will then jump out of a third pond in centre of the screen, and come flying towards you - and once you've shot a Level-3 flame at each of these, to kill them, you will come to an eighth Spider upon that left side of the screen, who is firing projectiles at you. Once you've shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him, and gone around his web, the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will recede, and the other spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will extend, as you come to three more Spiders on the right side, on the left side, and in the centre of the screen, who are firing projectiles at you; once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, then gone around their webs, the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will extend and the spike-covered wall on the right side of the screen will recede, as ten more Cape Bats come flying towards you, from the top of the screen. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, the spike-covered wall on the left side of the screen will recede as you'll come to a twelfth Spider in the centre of the screen who is firing projectiles at you - and once you have shot a Level-3 flame at him to kill him, then gone around his web, both of the spike-covered walls will recede off-screen (so you cannot fly into them any more) as ten more Cape Bats come flying towards you, from the top of the screen. Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of them to kill them, the main theme that you had been hearing from the Yamaha YM-2151 will fade out as Amul stops moving forward for a fifth time and comes to a giant web.

The game's third "boss" theme will then start to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 for a second time, as Berento Spider (who is the third, and second official, ground-based boss of the game, and accompanied by ten more Cape Bats) drops down onto the giant web from the top of the screen and starts moving randomly around it, while firing projectiles at you and generating more Spiders (who'll also be firing projectiles at you during this battle; but much like the twelve that you had encountered earlier in the stage, they can be killed for 100 extra points apiece). Once you have shot a Level-3 flame at each of the ten Cape Bats who had accompanied the "initial appearance" of Berento Spider to kill them, then dropped a total of twenty-four bombs on Berento Spider himself to defeat him, he'll explode - and Amul will then proceed to dive down through the aforementioned giant web, before the screen fades out.
