castle crashers final boss walkthrough

there should be a stone elevator (it doesn't have any walls) you have to get on. if you don't see it, you're in the wrong room. once you get to the top, you'll see the final boss who is too high to attack. instead of attacking him, there will be some gems that come out of nowhere. once they come down, start attacking them. if they go back up, don't attack them. repeat this until all of the gems are destroyed. then, he'll jump down and go into a defense ball that's blue. use anything but melee when it's blue. when it's red, only use melee. a lot of people make this mistake. have you ever heard of juggling your opponent? it's when you keep hitting your opponent in mid-air and you don't let them touch the ground. you might want to practice that if you want the next stage to be easy, because he floats the whole time. you may not understand why, but if you try doing the juggling strategy, then you'll understand. after that, he gets smashed by a chest. but don't let your guard down! once the chest opens, a /scorpion/ spider version of him pops out! i don't know how to help you at that point. afterwards he'll go into the floating form and then he looks defeated. but then he reaches out his hand and then a sword flies into it. he can make fireballs rain from the sky and once you get him lower than half heath, he can start doing front flips in mid-air with his sword in his hand!
