Xak II (ENG) Rising of the Redmoon (MSX) – [Part 02] - - The Gospel
0After exploring the west part of the woods, we can now begin to trek south. This is a good place to lvl grind up to around 32 so you can obtain your next equipment upgrades. DO NOT enter the cave without them. You won’t stand a chance.
The first order of business is to enter the right cave and obtain the “key of snakes” item that you will need to unlock some of the doors in the cave.
Next in the left Cave, you can proceed all the way to the northern portion where there is these treasure chests fans of Final Fantasy should be familiar with as they are Mimics, but you have to destroy several mimics to obtain the “book of spells” and the “ring of snakes” key item.
With all of that done, you can now proceed with the bosses.

BOSS #1 tip: Recommended Level – 33-34
This took me excruciatingly longer than I care to admit. I had thought my game was just broken but the strategy is simple. He is vulnerable to your attacks in the front. In fact, you can go through 10 pieces of steaks until your karma is fully depleted and you will never kill him this way. The only way to cause damage is you must get behind him as shown in the video. It took me a few tries but once you figure that out, he is a cake walk.
This game really does little to guide you and with the lack of information I had to figure this out myself. Its misleading because the force attack is an upwards shooting projectile. With the way the game is designed you would think you have to fire upwards from the bottom screen with the monsters placed at the top like a traditional vertical scrolling fight, but this game has a degree of strategy that is unique to every encounter.
BOSS #2 TIP: This boss is also not as simple as it seems. You can’t just place your character out of range and fire force shots, you won’t get anywhere that way, you must get up very close and personal as shown in my walkthrough, you must jump up and touch his head in the center and just start slashing away. He will fall fast once you figure that out.
