Its the final boss time! This guy actually isn't that tough once you get his pattern down.
He has 3 phases, so lets begin!
Phase 1
He uses 2 attacks: first is a basic sword swing consisting of two swings. Easily avoidable. Second, he stabs his sword into the ground and covers the arena in flame. The only way to avoid the area attack is to double-jump and then attack with
, then you can hit 
to come down and hit him, this will keep you juggled in the air so the attack can dissipate and you will not take damage.
Now for the very simple strategy: Get up right next to him, hit him with or , then immediately roll AGAINST him to avoid swing #1, roll again to avoid swing #2, then quickly hit him with or. Rinse and repeat! It takes a little while, but doing this will ensure you take very little damage in this phase. The only time you should break the cycle is to juggle yourself to avoid the area flame attack.
Once you deal enough damage, he will break the floor and start Phase 2.
Phase 2
3 attacks in this phase: First, a huge sword swing. His sword will turn into flame to signify its coming up. You will need to roll backwards or up/down to avoid this, rolling into him wont work this time.
Second, he will summon a ball above his head and it will shoot out 2 fireballs, very easy to avoid.
Third, a ground pound attack that shoots out a ground shockwave. You'll know this is coming as he will jump in the air ready to pound the ground with his fist. You can simply jump over the shockwave to avoid it.
Very simple strategy here: just avoid either attack then go in for a combo, avoid the next attack, combo, repeat!
After dealing enough damage he will kneel down and two healing statues will come out. The first time this happens you can hit them, but they will not take damage. Simply damage him some more and eventually they will pop out again, once they do, start attacking them ( I just jumped and used) you should be able to kill one and possibly hurt the second before it fully heals him again.
Repeat the pain until the statue pops out again and finish it off!
Phase 3
This phase will have you advancing him towards the edge of a cliff. The boss is static this entire phase and only has 2 attacks:
He will summon the orb again and shoot off 2 fireballs, again, easily avoidable. Second, a flame shock wave. Its similar to the Phase 1 area attack, simply jump and juggle yourself to avoid it.
It doesn't get easier than this! Just wail on him until he performs an attack, avoid it, continue wailing.
Eventually you'll push him off the edge of the cliff. BOOM! Gatebreaker is toast and the achievement is yours!

In Act 4 Level 5, you fight the final boss of the main game. For this battle you will want to have at least health potions before starting this battle. He has 3 phases. The first is the toughtest. Once you do enough damage, you will fall through the ground. He will summon healing orbs. You have to destroy these orbs, or you won't be able to do enough damage to him, he will just keep healing. So destroy the orbs, then damage him some more. Eventually you will knock him off the cliff and win. Happy Gaming!

The final boss battle is against the Gatebreaker boss. This fight can be very difficult. There are 3 stages to the fight. The absolute number one thing to practice on is dodge roll. His attacks really hurt as he's fast and it's a long fight.
Stage 1
- He will rush towards you, with his sword dragging on the ground, and swing at you twice. Use dodge roll to get away and then rush back for quick jab attacks.
- He will lift his sword in the air, pause for a bit, and then smash it down. Once his sword goes up, wait about 2 full seconds and then double jump followed by
three times and then 
to perform an aerial dive. This will keep you up in the air long enough to avoid all of the damage on the ground. - He is very quick so keep your attacks short and keep on dodge rolling.
- At about 20% health remaining, he will smash the floor out.
Stage 2
- His life will be regenerated by 2 floating orbs. The first time they are invulnerable.
- He will perform a half-screen horizontal sword slash. You must jump over it to be safe.
- He will smash the floor in an area effect. Dodging to the far right or left of the screen is the best way to avoid.
- He will throw a shuriken looking thing up in the air that spawns several in your direction. Frankly I don't have good advice as to how to avoid them other than dodge roll in the opposite direction.
- At about 20% health remaining, he will try to regenerate again. However this time, the orbs are vulnerable to attack. Take them out as fast as you can! They are weak to regular attacks. This would also be a great time to unleash your power attack
! - If you fail to destroy both of them before he is fully healed, you will have to whittle his life back down to 20% again.
- Once you are successful, he will run off to the right near a cliff.
Stage 3
- For the most part he will just lie there but every so often he will unleash one of his previous attacks. You will only have about a 1 second warning. Double jump or dodge roll as necessary to avoid.
- Put out at much DPS as you can to take him out. Eventually you will knock him off the cliff.

In Act 4 Level 5 you will only have to face the last boss. He has 3 phases. The first is actually the toughest. Once you fall through the ground, he will keep calling two orbs to heal him. You must destroy these. Afterwards you will work your way to hitting him off of a cliff.
