Dear Readers,
Today I'll talk about this set of stages. "Heart Of Fire" plays here.
Stage 13 starts right off with two hunchbacks to welcome me. After so many game overs here, I've made it a habit to jump whip the first one and let the other jump over my head before whipping that too. The bone throwing skeletons and hunchbacks up ahead I still haven't sussed!
On the part where you climb down the stairs, if you keep walking into the right hand wall before descending, a 1UP will appear below. There's a breakable block on the bottom right hand corner of this block structure too.
Red skeletons and hunchbacks up ahead. The red skeletons come back to life and they may not seem like much trouble but when other enemies try to crowd you, you start to wish them away. The wall at the end of this enemy filled path has a pork chop in it. You won't be able to climb high to whip the other candles if you break it too soon though.
Stage 14 is where we meet the shield and axe wielding knights. They're pretty annoying to deal with and the bottom one can be ran off the screen. The one above can't though. There's an axe weapon to collect here too if you want but I prefer the holy water.
Upstairs, if you stand between the two red squares for a moment, a hidden money bag appears. Further on and up the next flight of stairs has a multiplier hidden in the wall. I'm still coming up with a good strategy for this and what weapon to use for the boss at the end of this level. Under the next flight of stairs, if you stand in front of the gate at the left, another money bag appears. Another secret money bag appears when you climb up the stairs, walk along the platform to the right and jump on to the double platform.
Stage 15 you're greeted with the twin dragon skulls. This is before the boss and I'm still trying to come up with a strategy for what to do when I die in this place. What's the best thing to do with regarding weapons. I have never not needed the pork chop in the wall under the stairs leading to the next section either!
This next section with curtains and empty portraits is intensely troublesome. Medusa heads and those axe throwing knights fill the hallway and are a pain to deal with.
The Grim Reaper boss I eventually managed to defeat with holy water. I had to look up a strategy for him. It's an easy way to do it as he's not able to move but the challenge still lies in keeping the holy water and the III multiple shot to the end.
