into the next area.  Walk to your right, until you see a series of platforms.
Climb up them then continue left.  Jump up the series of stairs as fast as you
can, because a row of spikes will come after you.  Then, go right and enter the
next area.  You will find a series of floating platforms going back and forth,
time your jumps carefully and jump across them.  Once you reach the end, drop
into the castle, and you will fight the Dragon Boss.

DRAGON BOSS
=============================
Difficulty: 4/5
Description: A Giant Dragon
Attacks: Firebreath/Wing Flap

To avoid the Dragons Firebreath, crouch with your shield.  The Dragons Wing
Flap is more of an annoyance rather than an attack, since it doesn't damage
you, only pushes you backwards.  Use your Energy Ball spell and multiple sword
attacks to defeat the Dragon Boss.

"King Kolunikus made a deal with the demon "Doom" to get a lot of money.  The
demon "Doom" poisoned the king's mindand changed him into a dragon.  The king,
seeking to become rich, made his own people unhappy.  He must be lonely."

Humbleton
-----------------------------
Description: "The people of Humbletone are very civilized.  Master, they are
devising a preposterous plan.  They... they are trying to become masters
themselves.  They are constructing a tower to try and reach the sky castle.  I
wonder when they will stop being so reckless."

Tower of Souls
-----------------------------
Description: "This is the Tower of Souls.  People tried to become masters.
Inside the tower, there are many man-made machines still working.  On the top
of this tower, we can see the master they created to worship.  I am afraid it
has led to a battle between master and people."

When you begin this level, start walking to your right.  Take the teleporter up
to the next level, then head left.  Climb up the series of pipes, then head to
your right.  Collect the Item Container, then head back to your left and climb
the rest of the pipes.  Once you get to the top, continue to the right.  Jump
from gear to gear until you make it to the series of cars going back and forth
on ropes.  Time your jumps carefully and ride each car to the next.  Once you
reach the top, drop down the hole to your right, and take the teleporter to a
new area.  Here you will fight harder versions of the Giant Plant Boss, the
Snake Boss, the Giant Bird Boss, the Knight Boss, the Ghost Boss, and the
Werebeast Boss.  After beating these, you will face the Mystical Boss.

MYSTICAL BOSS
=============================
Difficulty: 4/5
Description: A giant head with objects floating around it
Attacks: Fireballs/Clock/Homing Balls/Missiles

To avoid the Mystical Bosses Fireballs stand diagonally underneath him, and the
Fireballs will miss you.  The Clock will stop you for 8 seconds, and you wont
be able to move.  To avoid being hit by the Homing Balls, hit them once with
your sword.  To avoid the missles, jump between 2 of them while they are coming
down.  To defeat the Mystical Boss, use as many Energy Ball spells as you can.
Between his attacks, the Mystical Boss will be vulnerable for a short period of
time.  Use this time to attack him.

Once you defeat the Mystical Boss, you have conquered all of ActRaiser 2!
