Xak II (ENG) Rising of the Redmoon (MSX) – [Part 04] - - The Castle in the Sky
1Welcome to the largest dungeon in the game. It’s going to take everything you got to make it through this place. Since you’re so close to the lvl cap of 50, you may as well max your character well here. You won’t have many opportunities to grind after this as we’re getting closer to the end game. Some of the best grinding spots are on the 2nd floor against the plant enemies or guardians on the 3rd floor. Get to around lvl 47. The 2nd best place after that by far is the snakes as there are so many spawning on the screen at once, you should be able to reach lvl 50 in no time. Once you get to the Skeleton enemies protecting the charm, you just want to run through and escape, don't bother fighting these foes as they are very strong. Even at lvl 50 its difficult.
I don’t think I need to go into great detail about the walkthrough, I marked everything with a time stamp for every item and objective you must complete, before heading to the boss.
Boss Tip #6: Baal is not as hard as he seems. The key to winning is the jump mechanic, you can almost jump every move he throws at you including the balls of energy and his left and right leg swipes. Just continue to jump his attacks, well conserving your karma meter and then when you have an opening, shoot him as fast as you can with your strongest barrage of force shots. Also, if you somehow manage to get closer to his face, the damage of your force shots will take away his HP faster.
