You start at a dead end so there's no going back from here. No worries though, the boss is just ahead. Walk to the left there the door is to find Verminaard's room. In the next room, walk to the right to find Verminaard in all his glory. He'll talk for a bit and then attack you.
- BOSS
- Verminaard
He only has two attacks and both of them suck. The first one is a distance attack where he throws energy either high or low while you're far away. You can jump over the low ones and duck under the high ones. Just try not to get hit by them too much since they stack up rather quickly. He only uses his second one when you're close to him, where he'll use his whatever in his hand to club you repeatedly. I don't think there's any simple way to finish this battle so the long and difficult way it is.
That is, you have to rush at Verminaard, while avoiding his energy attacks, and stab him until he teleports to the other side of the screen. Repeatedly rush and stab him with your stronger characters (I suggest Flint since he is small enough not to be hit by the high energy bolt), and have Goldmoon heal and revive as necessary. Use any Potions of Healing or Raise Dead Scrolls as well to save magic if it gets low. I don't think magic works on Verminaard at all so that's out of the question. After pummeling him for awhile he'll fall to one knee and disappear. That's the end. Congrats, on finishing the game.
