Hints, Tips & TricksDefeating the Crimson KingFirst, you must have the Golden Dragon Club, which is stronger than Raikoh's first sword. Next, equip Needle Of Fury to greatly boost your attack power to nearly full. Finally. equip Chimera Lv.3 to complete the equipment. Then, choose the stage where you must defeat the Crimson King. Make sure he uses his Black Skull magic and not his Fireballs or this trick will not work. When he prepares to fire his Black Skull, lock on to him and double jump. After you hear the sound of him firing, press Y to slam your club on his head for one third damage. Next, do a very short double jump until you see him get up slightly. Use the club again to do two thirds damage to him. Finally double jump a short distance above him again until you see him get up slightly. press Y again to finish him off in under ten seconds.
