Gameplay: At last, the final levels. I decided to play them on Hard difficulty, because I dare. Anyway, beware, this is were enemies will be at their worst, Bullfiends, Eyentennas and Warlocks will be frequently spammed here in great numbers and that means Double Shot, Rapidity Shot, Fast Shot and Super Power Power-Ups will be must-have in order to survive, and Monsters Death Power-Up is much less effective in hard difficulty. There is only one spell that uses Wind element: Wild Wind that fires cyan-blue bullets that go in wiggly path and have a chance of freezing enemies and this spell can only be used from the magical cauldron along with Fire Mass, also Spell Power-Ups will temporarily change your current spell to the one whose picture from the Spell Scroll was on the Spell Power-Up. Keep in mind that damage over time from Fire and Poison spells can stack, and the more you stack it, more powerful their damage over time will be. If you have difficulties remembering which rune combination is for which spell, I will tell you, by the numbers of runes which are 1,2,3,4,5,6: Small Fireball: 1, Freezing Arrow: 2, Fire Mass: 1-2, Fire Arrow: 1-1, Poison Cloud: 3, Volcano: 1-4-5, Wild Wind: 2-3-5, Iceball: 2-3, Plaque: 3-6-6, Walking Poison: 3-4-5, Pain Taught: 3-5, Shadow of the Sun: 1-4-2, Fire Rain: 1-2-4, Ice Rain: 2-2-1, Wild Poison: 3-5-5 and Flame: 1-3-2. And if you noticed, there is a glitch that will make it look like you're firing less bullets from your spells when they are empowered by Double Shot Power-Up while you are moving. Final boss is immune to freeze from Ice spells, damage over time from both, Fire and Poison spells, he can fire 3 big fireballs together, 5 bullets in a spread, and can summon Lava Dragons that shoot fireballs and which fly directly at you, trying to crash at you, similar to Wasps, except they move slower. Oh well, that's all from this game, and see you in the next game.
