Strategy
Use the shield
The shield comes in handy against surprise attacks from approaching enemies especially when you cross to the next area and there’s a blind spot. After blocking the intruder’s attack, punish him with a swift blow.
Armor Spider
Most of the Armor Spider’s attacks can be avoided by dodging towards her. This includes her frontal leg sweep and fireball attacks.
Be careful when the boss starts to charge its fire explosion move, indicated by a flaming mass radiating from her head. Run towards the entrance to avoid suffering massive fire damage.
