* The boss of the World of Forest is known as | * The boss of the World of Forest is known as Hamadrius. He is a large tree with a menacing face visible on his trunk. He has two flailing branches which move non-stop and serve to keep Athena from getting too close and attacking him at point blank range. That is why it is essential to have a projectile weapon at this point in order to fight him; either the Red Sword, or any Arrow or Magic weapon. Stand as far to the left as you can, and continue firing at him as rapidly as the game will allow. Throughout the fight, Hamadrius will launch fireballs at you, which will arc through the sky before falling down and landing on the ground. His aim is fairly accurate, so you'll need to side step the fireballs while you fire. Focus on avoiding getting hit, and only fire at the tree when it's safe to do so. Upon defeat, Hamadrius will release many hearts for Athena to restore her health, as well as a K Slate, which will allow her to keep her equipment beyond death. | ||
** There is a little trick that you can employ to avoid taking any damage during this fight. When you get close to the boss, the speed at which the screen scrolls changes slightly. This is your cue to actually run in the opposite direction, to the left. If you're successful, part or most of Athena will be obscured by the left side of the screen. The boss will lob fireballs so far, they will disappear from the screen and never hit you, while you are free to fire at the trunk of the tree without fear of getting hurt. | ** There is a little trick that you can employ to avoid taking any damage during this fight.
