Eligor
.

Eligor, in vying for the a certain series honor, is an absurdly large demon that was summoned to protect the castle. The systematic battle, which requires that a number of hurdles are cleared before the main target can be approached, commences once the presumptive hero mounts the seemingly inanimate corpse of Eligor and is soon sent crashing into the room's right wall; it's from this point where you'll have to work your way beneath the indeed-active Eligor, then over to its left side, and finally onto its back--the point from which you can get a clear shot at its vulnerable (and oddly placed) eye. Only after you break its red-crystal kneecaps (which will eventually regenerate) will it stand on its hind legs, in great pain, and leave you the opportunity to run beneath it; as you attempt this, Eligor runs interference by alternating between sword attacks (a downward stab or a swipe-and-drag motion, depending upon the hero's position) and hunching down to fire arrows from an installed crossbow, which can be destroyed. Once you're beneath Eligor, you'll have to safely reposition yourself as it treks to and fro; doing this will allow you to avoid direct contact and its front-leg kicks. Soon Eligor will execute a jump attack and leave you enough time to advance to its left side; from there, you'll have destroy another set of knee crystals and do so as Eligor attempts to disrupt the effort with back kicks, tail-stabs, and arrows as fired from its second, more-rapidly-firing crossbow. When these kneecaps are destroyed, Eligor will slump to the ground, and its idle tail will become climbable and give you direct access to the main target. Though, Eligor will eventually recover, and it'll attempt to limit the onslaught with one of its more-damaging attacks: a tail whip; a curled-tail stab; or when it's really low on health, a leaning headbutt. Any of these can potentially knock the hero back down to the room's right side and unfortunately restart the cycle.
