Faxanadu enemy Zozura.png
Hit Points: 9 - Damage: 7

Hit Points: 17 - Damage: 7
Drops: 100 gold - Experience: 33

Normally, these mushroom men walk slowly, but they will occasionally pick up their pace. They can hurt you if you touch them, but they are easy enough to avoid if you attack early. They drop health restoring bread.

Drops: 53 gold - Experience: 25

Faxanadu enemy Sir Gawaine.png
Hit Points: 35 - Damage: 12
Drops: 150 gold - Experience: 58

Hit Points: 23 - Damage: 23
Drops: Large bread - Experience: 35

Bihoruda Giant Strider
Faxanadu enemy Bihoruda.png
Hit Points: 5 - Damage: 4
Drops: 56 gold - Experience: 35
These flying enemies are more of a nuisance than a threat. They do relatively little damage, and their flight pattern is unusual and difficult to predict. Attack them if they get in your way, otherwise ignore them.
Faxanadu enemy Giant Strider.png
Hit Points: 29 - Damage: 15
Drops: 128 gold - Experience: 48

Faxanadu enemy Grimlock.png
Hit Points: 29 - Damage: 13
Drops: 98 gold - Experience: 58

Faxanadu enemy Lamprey.png
Hit Points: 56 - Damage: 16
Drops: Medium bread - Experience: 30
Although it has a lot of health, and can do considerable damage to you, this is a very simple enemy to beat, largely because of its size and slow speed. It takes many hits to defeat, but it will drop health restoring bread.
Faxanadu enemy Giant Bees.png
Hit Points: 19 - Damage: 5
Drops: 115 gold - Experience: 29
A single bee is hardly a threat, but a trio of giant bees is another story. Once they lock on to your position, they swarm around you and sting you without mercy until they are defeated. Take care when other enemies are around.
Ishiisu Fire Giant
Faxanadu enemy Ishiisu.png
Hit Points: 24 - Damage: 13 - Magic damage: 8
Drops: 120 gold - Experience: 10
Only found in one area of the game, this enchantress will fire magic at you whenever you dare to gaze upon it. However, if you turn away, it will do nothing to attack you. It offers little experience.
Faxanadu enemy Fire Giant.png
Hit Points: 20 - Damage: 7
Drops: 90 gold - Experience: 45

Drops: 56 gold - Experience: 35

Faxanadu enemy Maskman.png
Hit Points: 20 - Damage: 7

Faxanadu enemy Geributa.png
Hit Points: 18 - Damage: 10
Drops: 78 gold - Experience: 40

Hit Points: 38 - Damage: 17
Drops: 190 gold - Experience: 49
This enemy behaves extremely similar to the Sir Gawaines described above. However, it is far stronger and more deadly, often lining themselves up to ambush enemies that dare to approach their territory. Approach with caution.

Hit Points: 7 - Damage: 5
Drops: n/a - Experience: 25

Bosses[edit]

Ripasheiku Borabohra
Faxanadu boss Ripasheiku.png
Hit Points: 75 - Damage: 18 - Magic damage: 28
Drops: 720 gold - Experience: 90
This is the first boss that you will encounter. A giant demon, it flies up to the ceiling, drops back down, and belches four blasts of magic fire at you before repeating the process. These four blasts make approaching them incredibly difficult. Magic is a safer alternative, especially if you can fire it while standing on a platform that protects you from its fire. Once defeated, it drops a lot of gold.
Faxanadu boss Borabohra.png
Hit Points: 75 - Damage: 18
Drops: 720 gold - Experience: 90
These snake-like creatures crawl out of the ground, and very slowly advance on the hero. They can cause a lot of damage, but they don't speed up or jump around, so they are very predictable. Their only weak point is their head, so you must jump up and swing your sword at the peak of your jump. Continue this strategy until it is defeated.
Zorugeriru Rokusutahn
Faxanadu boss Zorugeriru.png
Hit Points: 24 - Damage: 11 - Rock damage: 31
Drops: 80 gold - Experience: 80
Faxanadu enemy rock.png
This unusual enemy stands on a high ledge operating the machine. The machine causes seismic disruptions in the room, loosing boulders which rain down from the top of the screen to the bottom. The creature itself is not capable of doing much damage, but the rocks that fall are very dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Additionally, the creature itself is invulnerable to attack. It is the machine that you must attack to defeat it.
Faxanadu boss Rockstun.png
Hit Points: 70 - Damage: 20
Drops: 480 gold - Experience: 120
This boss is very similar to the Borabohra boss described above. However, it moves a little more hesitantly than the snake boss, and it hops up and down on occasion. Its legs are invulnerable to attack, so you must jump up and strike it in the plate-like head to do damage to it. It can sustain many hits, but it drops a good amount of gold when it is finally defeated.
Zoradohna Pakukame
Faxanadu boss Zoradohna.png
Hit Points: 115 - Damage: 28
Drops: 880 gold - Experience: 158
This boss is not to be taken lightly. It has a high level of health and can do a good amount of damage to you. It hovers left or right towards you, and leaps off the ground. It flies to one side of the screen or the other before resume its floating behavior. The best strategy to employ against it is to pin it against one side of the screen. As it falls down to the ground, it will attempt to leap back to the middle of the screen. At that time, hit it with your weapon, and it will be forced to turn around and move harmlessly against the side. Repeat this pattern until it's defeated and it will not harm you.
Faxanadu enemy Pakukame.png
Hit Points: 40 - Damage: 12
Drops: 384 gold - Experience: 85
Though considered a boss enemy, you are not required to defeat this enemy at any time. Nor can it move to attack you. They are rooted to one spot on the ceiling. They release Liliths on to the screen, up to three at one time. Until it is defeated, it will continue to replace Liliths that you defeat with more of them.
King Grieve
Faxanadu boss King Grieve.png
Hit Points: 250 - Damage: 38 - Flame attack: 27
King Grieve is the boss of Fraternal Castle. Once the king of the dwarfs, he has been transformed into the dragon-like monster that you encounter. He flies up and down through the room before breathing four blasts of fire at you. Far more powerful and dangerous than a Ripasheiku, you must brave these blasts to get close enough to him in order to strike him. Having Red Potions in your inventory is helpful and highly recommended when you go to fight against him. Tilte magic is considerably effective against him. Defeat him and the Dragon Slayer sword will be released.
Shadow Eura
Faxanadu boss Shadow Eura.png
Hit Points: 250 - Damage: 43 - Flame attack: 28
The final boss of the game has been empowered by the twisted evil emanating from the meteorite. He must be destroyed in order to restore peace to all of the beings that dwell within the Great Tree. He lurches towards you, blowing blasts of flame in your direction as he moves. While you may wish to strike him with the Dragon Slayer, under no circumstances should you get close enough to him to be touched by him. You must jump to hit him with a sword. It can be just as effective to blast him with Tilte magic, which you should fire as rapidly as possible. Unlike the sword, magic seems effective if it hits any part of his body.
