The Flintstones (SG) [Walkthrough] - Stage 5 - Fire Rock
23Difficulty: Normal
Stage 5:
Welcome to hell. When you thought the previous stages were hard then you will suffer on this one.
I personly think that this is the hardest stage in the game.
Anyway, the first enemy you'll come across is lightning. It randomly crashes into trees, so at least you are safe when you don't stand right in front of one.
Another enemy is some kind of hedgehog. At least I think it is because it attacks you with spikes. The best way to defeat those is by simply rushing them and knocking them out before they're even able to throw spikes at you. Or you can just wait for the right moment to attack.
The last enemy you'll encounter are devils. Some of them shoot a energy ball at you and other ones create some kind of shockwave on the floor you'll have to jump over. Again the best way to defeat those is by rushing them, because as soon as they've attacked they'll rush at you making it nearly impossible to hit them.
The flying dinosaur can really help you through this stage by flying over the difficult parts and getting health from every defeated enemy.
After the first safe point I kept on failing. A part of the floor breaks into a endless pit which instantly kills you.
It's really hard to see where it breaks and you have to time your jump perfectly. Use the dinosaur after that part to fly over the rock platforming on the lava.
Another check-point , yay!
Next you're in a cave where lava drops from the ceiling, enemies attack and the sudden holes into nowhere appear again. This is possibly the hardest part of the stage.
When you manage to get past all this you get a new obstacle to master. You stand on a small platform while the lava rises. The platform sinks slowly into it and you only have one well prepared jump to avoid death. There is a brick which you can only hang onto when you jump at the right time.
It doesn't look that hard but trust me it is!
If you manage to get past this area too you have one last obstacle before the next check-point. Again, you have to jump at the right time on the other platforms to make it.
If you fail even once you have to do it all again.
The last part is actually a piece of cake in comparison what you had to suffer through before.
Boss:
You may think that the hardest stage in the game also has the hardest boss. I must dissapoint you with that statement. The boss is hard but easy to figure out.
Always attack the dragon with a charged attack. If you attack him normaly it'll take you a long time to beat him.
It's hard for me to describe on when exactly you have to attack and how you have to move. You should figure it out by watching ;-)
I'm not quite sure how you are supposed to avoid the attack where he shoots a fireball into the air and burns the ground with it. You have to stand under the bones but other than that I really dunno X-P
