  • How to unlock Forbidden Scrolls

    This relic is found in the Bone Zone, bonus stage 4. Refer to Boss Rash (5G) if you need any help unlocking bonus stages.

    This stage and its relic work different from the others. The stage features enemies that gradually get stronger with each minute that passes. This relic is one of the only one dropped by a boss instead of just lying on the ground to pick up. On your map, you'll be able to see a question mark south of your starting position. This is the location of the boss. It's a ball that rolls around and absorbs enemies (their health especially) that it runs over. Hitting it doesn't give the same indication of damage as with other enemies and bosses, but it's still damaging it. Basically the gimmick and strategy here is that you need to kill it as quickly as possible to prevent it from rolling up so many enemies that its health becomes so high that you can't kill it.

    I personally had no problems killing this boss quickly; it died in around 5-6 seconds once I tracked it down. I used Leda for the extra Might (refer to Greatest Jubilee (50G) for how to unlock her), but she's not really necessary. What's extremely helpful is XX - Silent Old Sanctuary. This Arcana gives you +20% Might and -8% cooldown for each empty weapon slot. Therefore, if you just stay with your starting weapon, it's going to do double damage and have half the cooldown time. I started a run, picked that Arcana, leveled up just enough to get the Spinach and Tome to maximize my DPS (I used the extra Skips and Banishes from the above Arcana to help me get what I wanted). I then went down to the question mark (the boss is rolling around, so you might have to chase it down) and then just focused fire on it. If enemies are swarming, take care of them first so the boss doesn't absorb them. I was expecting a more drawn-out fight, but as I said, the boss died in only a few seconds. I went down around the 3-4 minute mark and got there around 5 minutes in, just as a point of reference.

    Alternatively, you could turn on Endless Mode, play through a 30-minute run getting six weapons maxed out and their items, plus evolutions, become extremely powerful, and then when the run resets back to the first enemies at 30 minutes, then head down to the boss and beat it then, when you have a huge amount of firepower.
