Children of Mana doesn't really change that much whether you play as Tamber, Poppen, Ferrick or Wanderer. Either the ways you go, deliver the reports on plant activity to Moti, watch the cutscenes and choose as your companion spirit either Wisp (as his healing is good to have in dungeons) or Undine (as her offensive magic is good against the boss of this level when you can hit it).

Boss: Xangar
After the cutscene, whack the Xangar with your sword a few times to then realise that it's pointless. The Xangar follows a few basic patterns, such as going for you from a horizontal or vertical direction. Enter the Sword of Mana, to then prove so effective in your epic battle against the Xangar. Also watch out for the flames he lets off, as they set you on fire and you run around screaming (why didn't anyone ever tell these guys when on fire to drop over and roll around in the dangerous World of Mana).
Now that you have the all-important Sword of Mana, your attacks are now effective. However, he now has a few new attacks. One of these new attacks is the two shuriken-flying star attack, which hit you, cause damage and confuse you (you can deflect these with the 'shield' move you used against the Chopin Hoods and their merry me-er...-arrows.
