Walkthrough 8: Underground Gallery

You enter the Underground Gallery after the iron maiden is destroyed, taking the path down from the middle of the Eternal Corridor. Many enemies here can poison Nathan.

Key Points

• Killer Bee, King Moth and Poison Armor all poison Nathan, so carry an Antidote.
• The first room has a switch; step on it and a moving platform comes over from the left. Go around underneath to board it, then slide through the narrow gap to get a Hearts Max. The platform disappears when it hits the wall, so slide early. A Brain Float appears on the platform; crouch and use the whip flail on it. A Wight always pops out while you go around; just jump over it.
• Man Eater drops the Diana card, and this is the only place to fight it.
• Near the exit there are two collapsing bridges: enter the room dashing, don’t stop, and slide across the last stretch. If you fail, no problem: the bridges are restored after you change screens.
• With the Heavy Ring you can get the max-up item at this area’s entrance, then go through the Triumph Hallway to the Underground Warehouse.
• Alternatively, consider tanking the damage and going to the Underground Waterway first to farm Neptune from Ice Armor, then use Poison Healing against Dragon Zombie, which makes the fight much easier.

Attacks

Attack	Power	Element	Status ailment
Contact The head and the whole neck (7 segments each) hurt on contact; this is the most common way to take damage in this fight. The body and legs are just background and don't hurt.	390	Poison	—
Bite It opens and closes its mouth for about 1 s, then bites toward the center of the room, pauses and pulls back; the pause is a good chance to attack. If Nathan stands near the base of that dragon's own neck, it cancels the bite, and the other head can't reach there either.	390	Poison	—
Flame Only the left one uses it. Breathes 20 shots in a row, sweeping from lower right up to upper left and back a little. Cannot be destroyed.	405	Fire	—
Burst Shot Only the right one uses it; the strongest attack in the fight. Its head can only turn slightly left to aim; it fires one shot that flies a short way and explodes on its own near the top of the left dragon's neck. Cannot be destroyed.	490	Fire	—
Falling Rocks It slams its head into the floor behind itself, and about 2.5 s later 8 rocks fall from random spots on the ceiling, vanishing on landing. Can be destroyed; Ice Ball Circle or Poison Cloud can block them.	370	—	—

• For damage, the rules for kills while frozen or petrified, and how drop rates work, see Game Systems

Strategy

• Recommended sub-weapon: Crucifix.
• For DSS, use Ice Ball Circle or Poison Cloud to block the falling rocks, or Poison Healing so touching it doesn't hurt.
• The left and right dragons each have 1400 HP and give 15000 EXP; you must defeat both to win. The bodies don't move and only the heads can be hit; the necks hurt on contact but can't be hit.
• If you stand behind one dragon (between it and the wall), that one always uses Falling Rocks, while the other breathes Flame or fires Burst Shot.
• When you stand in the middle, the three attacks are each used once per cycle, in random order.
• Stand near the base of one dragon's neck and it cancels its bite; the other can't reach you either.
• Take out the left one first, since its Flame attack is the bigger threat.
• After one falls, the other bites the corpse to heal three times, 100 HP each; after that its head, neck, Flame and Burst Shot deal 25% more damage.
• The best approach is to lure it into slamming the wall, then attack with the Crucifix as its head slowly comes back.
