Ghosts 'n Goblins/Enemies: Difference between revisions

After dealing with just one Satan, you will think that the Red Arremer was a piece of cake.  Unfortunately for you, you will have to deal with three; as a solo boss in Stage 5, and as a double boss in Stage 6.  Satans are very much like big Red Arremers, only even more deadly.  When they fold their wings around their body, they are invulnerable to attack.  In the original version of the game, they required 6 shots to destroy.  Capcom must have had a change of heart and taken pity on players because in the newer versions of the game, they only require 4 shots.  They are worth 3000 points when destroyed.  It is far easier to deal with only one at a time, so try not to scroll too far to the right at the end of Stage 6 and activate the second Satan until you have fully defeated the first one.  ''In the Famicom/NES-based versions of the game, Satans are invulnerable to the Axe.''

Also known as Beelzebub, or Astaroth, this demonic tyrant is the kidnapper of Princess PrinPrin and the cause of all of Arthur's troubles.  Whether he wanted the princess all to himself, or to simply lure Arthur into a trap is unknown.  What is known is that you will have to defeat him not once, but twice in order to truly rid him from your kingdom.  He has two faces, one on his head and one on his abdomen, both of which are capable of shooting fireballs at you.  Only the face in his abdomen is vulnerable to attack, and only by hitting it with the shield weapon (or the cross weapon in Japan).  You must hit it no higher or lower than the bottom face (the vulnerable range is somewhere between the beard and the lower set of eyes), and you must hit it 10 times.  If you time it right, you can jump and hit him once on the way up and once on the way down.  You will earn 10,000 points for defeating him.  (In the arcade version, even though it reports that you earned 20,000 points on the second battle with Astaroth, you still only earn 10,000.)
