The Watcher in the Water has two forms, the first of which is the face in the water, this deals no damage when contact is made with it and only has two attacks, Bubbleburst and a Minor Arm Summon, both of these can either be dodged or dealt with using the Sword. After some time, the Watcher in the Water will switch to his second, vulnerable form, at which point, he will use one of his attacks until the condition to stop the attack is met (hitting him for the Major Arm Summon and Homing Arms and either hitting him or waiting for the attack to finish for the Circle of Arms. | The Watcher in the Water has two forms, the first of which is the face in the water, this deals no damage when contact is made with it and only has two attacks, Bubbleburst and a Minor Arm Summon, both of these can either be dodged or dealt with using the Sword.

The typical strategy for this boss is to walk around in the water, dodging the arms as they spring up, though it is possibly safer to stand still since it lowers the likelihood of Alundra walking into an arm, though it does increase the chance of the Watcher in the Water summoning one right under Alundra. If he uses Bubbleburst, just attack the bubbles or dodge them. When the Watcher in the Water emerges, charge up a Sword Attack and use it on the body while dodging the arms, hitting them out of the way if it is a Major Arm Summon. After being hit, he will return to his invincible form and the cycle will continue until he dies. | The typical strategy for this boss is to walk around in the water, dodging the arms as they spring up, though it is possibly safer to stand still since it lowers the likelihood of Alundra walking into an arm, though it does increase the chance of the Watcher in the Water summoning one right under Alundra.

[[File:Alundra Soul Leech second encounter.jpg|thumb|boss portrait]] | |||
'''Location:''' Kline's Nightmare | |||
'''Hits with Recommended Weapon:''' N/A | |||
'''Recommended Accessory:''' Bombs and Herbs | |||
'''Attacks:''' The Soul Leech only has 2 attacks. It will try and suck you in to it's stomach, taking HP off of you and spitting you back out in regular intervals, as well as spitting out 5 purple slime's to distract you until it starts sucking again. | |||
'''Strategy:''' You're going to want to use bombs for this boss. The boss itself will constantly try and suck you into it, resulting in a massive loss of HP. | |||
Your best bet is to jump up when you take out a bomb, and jump again when you throw it. That way, you won't be sucked in. You don't have to face the boss directly to throw the bomb at it, just jump throw a bomb once the boss' mouth is open, it'll just suck the bomb in anyway. Also note that both you and Kline can be sucked into the beast, either way, you take damage. Try to position yourself between Kline and the boss at all times. | |||
The boss will also have a secondary attack of spitting out about 5 purple slime enemies in regular intervals. You might as well just avoid them because about 3 seconds later the boss is going to start his sucking attack and kill them all anyway. | |||
Keep repeating the same technique until the boss fight is over and you exit Kline's Nightmare. | |||
== Kline == | == Kline == | ||
== | '''Location:''' Inoa Village outside Kline's House | ||
'''Hits with recommended weapon:''' Sword | |||
'''Recommended Accessory:''' Herbs if you need them, or bombs. | |||
'''Attacks:''' Kline only has one attack. He will charge up an attack that takes roughly 2-3 seconds, and charge towards you, trying to slash you. | |||
'''Strategy:''' Possibly the easiest boss fight in the entire game. Just hit Kline once with your Sword and get close to him and keep hitting him when he becomes vulnerable again. Kline's only attack takes about 2-3 seconds to charge so by the time he's vulnerable for attack again, he won't have had enough time to attack you. | |||
Repeat the process until the boss fight is over. | |||
== Reptilicus Maximus == | |||
'''Location:''' [[The Adventures of Alundra/Reptile Lair|Reptile Lair]] | |||
'''Hits with Recommended Weapon:''' Charged sword | |||
'''Recommended Accessory:''' Bombs and Herbs, Earth spell when surrounded | |||
'''Attacks:''' Reptilicus Maximus basically just stomps around the area so not really a big threat. He will do a super stomp which stops movement for a little bit, this can be negated by jumping at the right moment. | |||
'''Strategy:''' Drop down into the arena and get ready to move around nonstop. Have heals ready to go and use the charged sword attack to make short work of this boss, takes roughly 10-15 good hits (depends on how long he is left to heal). Four sword lizardmen will continuously spawn, two acid spitters spawn and should be destroyed immediately to make the fight a bit easier. Half way through the fight he will try to regenerate health, hit him to stop this from continuing. Keep using the sword charge attack and jumping around to end his reign. | |||

'''Location:''' [[The Adventures of Alundra/Giles' Dream|Giles' Dream]] | |||
'''Hits with Recommended Weapon:''' N/A | |||
'''Recommended Accessory:''' Bombs and Herbs | |||
'''Attacks:''' The Soul Leech only has 2 attacks. It will try and suck you in to it's stomach, taking HP off of you and spitting you back out in regular intervals, as well as spitting out 5 purple slime's to distract you until it starts sucking again. | |||
'''Strategy:''' This Soul Leech is the exact same Soul Leech that we encountered the first time in Kline's Nightmare. The strategy is EXACTLY the same, but with a catch this time. In Kline's Nightmare, if Kline were to be sucked into the Soul Leech, it would only do some damage to you. Although this time, if Giles is sucked into the Soul Leech, it will kill Alundra! Better watch yourselves this time, so here's what you should do. | |||
When the Soul Leech does it's suck attack, both you and Giles will be sucked towards the Soul Leech. Make sure you stand in front of Giles. Don't let him EVER be in front of you throughout the duration of this boss battle. It is your main priority to keep Giles alive. | |||
Use your Bombs and perform the same jump/throw process that you did in the previous encounter with the Soul Leech and you'll be absolutely fine. Just remember to keep Giles within sight at all times and never let him be in front of you. | |||
Continue this process until the boss battle is completed. | |||
== Corpse Worm == | == Corpse Worm == | ||
'''Location:''' [[The Adventures of Alundra/Magyscar|Magyscar]] | |||
[[File:Alundra Corpse Worm.jpg|thumb|boss portrait]] | |||
'''Hits with recommended weapon:''' Flail | |||
'''Recommended accessory:''' Bombs and Herbs | |||
'''Attacks:''' Runs around the screen and will run into Alundra. Lays eggs that hatch into bees and spits a ball that bounces around the area. Will stop and twitch tail before lashing out, invulnerable during this attack | |||
'''Strategy:''' Using the flail and bombs knock off the armor plating on his body, don’t worry about the tail part. Only when the armor comes off can Alundra hit Corpse Worm in the head. After a little bit the armor will regenerate when the Corpse Worm makes a crescent shape and needs to be knocked off again. | |||
The eggs can be destroyed with one bomb and the bees don’t move until Alundra gets close. | |||
Continue to attack the Corpse Worm this way till complete. | |||

'''Strategy:''' Ironically, this is one of the final boss fights, and is also incredibly easy, if you know what you're doing. | |||
The trick to beating this boss battle (after that horribly long cutscene) is to wait until Melzas appears. He should appear in 4 different places at once. The trick is to wait until the last Melzas pops up. 3 of which are only hologram's and only one of them will be damaged (similar to the Sara battle in Bonaire's Dream). | |||
Keep your eyes open, and once you've hit the last Melzas to pop up, go back into the middle of the area. That way, you can see where every Melzas is going to pop up without missing your chance. | |||
Normally, there will be 4 Melzas' to the upper left and right, and the lower left and right. He has another position though, which can be fatal. There will be 3 mirages of Melzas at the top of the boss area, which can release a devastating laser attack (similar to the Ronan battle) which takes off quite a lot of HP, so you want to watch out for that. Again, same method; look for the last Melzas to pop up and hit that one. | |||
This boss fight is actually a lot easier than it sounds, method wise. | |||
Repeat this process until Melzas has been defeated. | |||
