Dandara: Trials of Fear Edition

Store related; unmissable.

This is the first boss of the game. You need to visit three NPCs so that you can progress to the boss. This is the basic path from the start: Note that you actually need to detour down in the first tan area to get to a switch to open the way forward. Then you can follow the path into the green and then pink area to meet the NPC at #1 which allows you to stand on certain plates so that you can progress further.

Continue along the path shown to get to NPC #2 who will allow you to stand on other types of plates so that you can progress. Then backtrack and take the path to NPC #3 to get rockets that can smash stone walls, allowing you to access the boss area. The boss is a giant head and goes through two phases.

In the first phase, his purple fist appears and smashes the ground (shoot it), then the head appears, spawns a few basic enemies, and shoots projectiles at you while bouncing around the area. After dealing enough damage, phase two begins. In this phase, the boss is on the center right of the area and moves steadily to the right while shooting projectiles at you. There are alternating upper and lower platforms that you need to move across so that you can stay close to the boss to shoot it. Basic enemies will occasionally appear on the upper and lower platforms that you either need to shoot or move quickly to avoid.

After defeating the boss, the achievement will pop.
