8 Eyes/The House of Ruth

Finally, you've reached the last stage! Unfortunately, this game doesn't exactly end with a bang, as this level is quite easy. Unlike in other castles, you start with all ten energy blocks available, along with ALL of the possible weapons! All you have to do is defeat the bosses from the other levels again, with the help of a ton of power-ups (why are these guys after you again? You just had a drink with each of them!). Also, each time you win a battle, your life is refilled. Anyway, here's what you need to know about this place:

Room 1
The boss from Spain is in here. Get out the Ice Ball and go to work as you would normally. Since your sword isn't strong against this boss anymore, it will take more hits to kill him. Still, freezing him should give you enough of an advantage. Once you have more energy than he does, you can just keep hacking at him. He'll die before you. If you get into trouble, climb the steps. Send Cutrus out and attack the left edge of the upper level to get an "S" Bowl to recharge all of your life and item power. You'll find one of these bowls in EVERY room of this castle! Once your enemy dies, the door to the next room will automatically open.

Room 2
Up next, the guy from Egypt. The "S" Bowl is on the left edge of the platform you start on. Take it when you've used up your most of your life and item power, so you'll get more mileage out of it. You'll be using the Ice Ball for this, and all battles from here on out (as if you haven't been all along).

Room 3
The Arabian duke is in here. Jump-attack the upper right corner to reveal the "S" Bowl, but of course you come back to take it when you need it.

Room 4
Now for the card-thrower from Italy and his panther. Since the cat is stuck on the top level, while the boss is on the bottom, you can ignore it. The "S" Bowl is below the steps, three blocks up from the bottom.

Room 5
In here, you'll find the mage from India. The "S" Bowl is in the group of blocks hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the room. Have Cutrus attack the right side of the row of blocks that is three-blocks long.

Room 6
The last "old" boss is the guy from Africa (why the seventh boss from Germany is missing, I have no idea). The "S" Bowl in here is below where you come in. Jump-attack the left wall.

Boss
We're in "The House of Ruth", so this must be Ruth, I guess. The last boss of the game presents no real challenge, just a lady with a whip and some kind of animal's skull for a hat. The "S" Bowl is inside the leftmost block on the ledge you start on. Use it effectively and you should have no trouble.

After your drink with the lady, head for the final puzzle!
