How to Defeat Hornsplitter

Hornsplitter uses slow but powerful melee attacks with wide swings that can hit you if you stay too close for too long.

Dodge to the side when he attacks, then move in and land a few hits while he recovers. He usually leaves a short opening after each attack combo. Don’t overcommit. Back off after a couple of hits so you still have enough stamina to dodge his next attack.

Repeat this pattern – dodge, attack, retreat – until the fight is over.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
