Maid in Bunny:The Castle

<<< To: The Passageway

(Note: there are FOUR Bosses in the Castle, but Elena will be able to leave after defeating the first, so you don't have to tackle them all in one take.)''
 * You are now in Z-1 in the big Castle area, with no way to go back and with a Boss encounter right ahead. Use the Shiny carrot(s) here if you’re short on health.


 * Go west to Y-1.

 BOSS: Café 

Café is pretty strong, and her attacks can cover most of the arena and confuse you, so you'll have to do a lot of dodging. She usually moves flying, and only stops to cast her spells.

Her main attack is made of bolts of energy. They travel fast and add a small knockback when they hit you. She becomes stationary and surrounds herself with a circle of energy orbs as she shoots more bolts at you.

Strategy : This is the time to hit it with a Towel or two. At the end of the casting, the circle of energy orbs expands in all directions, so avoid them.

In addition, she can make 3 other copies of herself, which can float or stand at the four corners of the arena, always shooting at you.

Strategy : Approach one of them and strike it with your Broom. If you hit a copy, it will disappear, and if you hit the real Café all copies will disappear at once. Tip: when floating, if you see two Cafés grouped together, more often than not the real Café is one of them.

Her most dangerous attack comes in the form of 8 gigantic spheres of energy that practically cover the entire screen. She remains stationary in her position and begins to cast (small sparks of light can be seen around her).

Strategy : Do not approach her or waste Towels! She is invulnerable for the duration of the casting. Depending on her position, you should find the furthest point possible and hope that there is enough space to squeeze between two spheres. If she is in the middle of the screen during the casting, it may be impossible to avoid them.

If you are struck by this attack, Elena will turn blue and all your controls will be reversed for a few seconds (up is down, left is right), making it even more complicated to avoid further attacks. If Elena is affected, focus on dodging rather than attacking until you are back to normal.

This could prove to be a very difficult battle if you came out of the underground unprepared (no Cake or very few Towels). As always, lowering your game speed helps a lot.

Anyway, it takes 12 hits with the Legendary Broom (less if you also hit her with Towels) to defeat Café.


 * Go west, south, west, north to W-1. In the northwest corner there’s a hay bed for saving and resting.


 * Go south, south, east, south to X-4. This room has plenty of Bombs and Carrots in case you need them.


 * Go north, then east to Y-3. Blow up the northern wall and grab the Key.


 * Optional: go east to Z-3 and back. This room contains nothing but visit it anyway for the sake of exploring everything.


 * Go north to Y-2 (right side), then east to Z-2. Take Stairs A to S-6. Now let's grab what we can before leaving the Castle. The next part consists of a disorienting series of stairs and corridors, but is mostly safe.


 * Go north two times to S-4. Take Stairs B to R-9.


 * Go north two times to R-7. Take Stairs C to W-6.


 * Go north two times to W-4. Take Stairs D to Z-5.


 * Go north to Z-4.


 * Optional: this part is completely optional, but if you want to explore all the Castle, follow these directions. Take Stairs E to U-3 and go west to T-3. Plant a bomb in the center of the southern wall, proceed to T-4 and take the Key. Go back to U-3 and take Stairs E to Z-4.


 * Go south two times to Z-6 and take Stairs F to T-5. Collect the Red-5 Gemstone and go down to Z-6 again.


 * Go north to Z-5 and take Stairs D to W-4.


 * Go south two times and take Stairs C to R-7.


 * Now we can get outside. Go south, east, north to S-7. Another recovery room if you need it.


 * Go south two times to S-9. Destroy the eastern wall with a bomb and enter T-9. If you need a Carrot Cake, run to it and scoot back to S-9.


 * Go north, then east to T-8.


 * Optional: If you went and grabbed the optional key before, you might as well use it. Go north to T-7 (right side) and unlock the door to T-6. I never found out the purpose of this room (maybe the King’s bedroom?). Anyway, there’s nothing in it, so go back to T-8.


 * Unlock the door and go east to U-8.


 * Optional: Go north to U-7 (left side) if you need a Carrot. Go back to U-8.


 * Go south, then east to V-9. Interact with the mechanism in the upper right to lower the drawbridge outside.

Now Elena can enter and leave the Castle anytime from the main entrance. Go out if you want to save, rest and re-equip. Replenish your Towels, you will need them. When you’re ready, return to the Castle in V-9. This time we will reach the second Boss.


 * Go north to V-8, then east to W-8. There’s a Save Point in this room. If you kill the Medusa, she doesn’t respawn.

(Note: The door to the north needs a special Key to be opened. You don't have it yet.)
 * Go east to X-8.


 * Go east, east, south to Z-9. Take Stairs G to R-5.


 * Go north to R-4. Grab the Key.


 * Go south two times to R-6. Take Stairs H to X-9.


 * Go west to W-9. Defeat the Medusa, grab the Map and go back to X-8. Retrace your steps, taking Stairs H and then Stairs G to Z-9.


 * Go north, then west to Y-8. Plant a Bomb in the center of the southern wall. You’ve already visited this room, but this task is easier coming from the east. Enter Y-9, avoid or defeat the Medusa, take the Key and go back to Y-8.


 * Go north, then east to Z-7 (unlock the door). Take Stairs I to U-6.


 * Go north two times to U-4. Take stairs J to R-1.


 * Go east, south, east to T-2. Solve the statues puzzle.


 * Go east, then north to U-1 (unlock the door). Collect the Gray-4 Gemstone.


 * Return to U-2. Take Stairs K to X-5, avoid or defeat the Medusa, grab the Key and take Stairs K again to U-2.


 * Go west, west, south to S-3. Figure out the right jumping pattern and reach the exit.


 * Unlock the door and go west to R-3. Blow up the northern wall in the center with a Bomb (and maybe defeat the Medusa).


 * Go north to R-2 and take Stairs L to Y-6.


 * Go north to Y-5. The first, second and fourth heavy blocks are Mimics.


 * Go north to Y-4. Take stairs M to V-3. Save your game and proceed north to V-2.

 BOSS: Obon 

Obon is not a strong opponent per se, but she is very resilient and, most importantly, does not fight alone. When the battle starts, the arena will be swarmed by an endless crowd of maids, running from top to bottom in a straight line. You will have to avoid them for the duration of the battle.

Obon surrounds herself with an intermittent energy shield as she hurls an uninterrupted series of lightning bolts. They can strike random tiles or target your position. A blue light appears at the point where the lightning will strike, hitting an area of 3x3 tiles from that point.

Obon tends to stay on top of the arena, sometimes venturing close to the middle. You can choose to stay at a safe distance and throw Towels at her, or risk it and get close to hit her with the Broom. Pay attention to the sound you hear when you strike: a screeching sound means that you have hit her shield without inflicting damage. Whether you hit her or the shield, Obon becomes invulnerable for several seconds (her shield turns yellow).

The best strategy for this fight is to lower the game speed. Since the battle is very straightforward, just keep moving and wait for the right moment to approach Obon and strike. Play it safe by throwing a few Towels from a distance when she's not moving.

It takes 15 hits with the Legendary Broom (less if you also hit her with Towels) to defeat Obon.

New item: Eushully Terupa

The Eushully Terupa grants twice as much defense as the Moon Maid Clothes.

New item: Castle Key


 * Let's get back. Go south two times to V-3 and take Stairs M to Y-4.


 * Go south two times to Y-6 and take Stairs L to R-2.


 * Go south, east, north, north (right side) to S-1. Unlock the door with the Castle Key and go east to T-1. Collect Health-Up #13.


 * Go west, south, north (left side), west to R-1. Take Stairs J to U-4.


 * Go south two times and take Stairs I to Z-7.


 * Go west, south, west to X-8. Unlock the door with the Castle Key and go north two times to X-6. Collect the Cyan-3 Gemstone.

Leave the Castle if you need to rest or resupply. Now it's time to face Rosalia.


 * Go north, then west to V-7. Unlock the door with the Castle Key and proceed to V-6.

Before entering V-6, a dialogue will appear with two choices: Proceed to the Audience Hall and meet Rosalia.
 * 1) Proceed
 * 2) Go back

 BOSS: Rosalia 

Rosalia is a strong opponent, capable of executing several types of attack. However, if you know how to counter them, she becomes quite manageable. She usually floats around the room and stops to perform her attacks, which are all magical in nature, as she never comes close to hit you directly.

During her basic attack, she turns yellow and shoots magic projectiles all around her in a straight line, or throws several bombs, which look like eyes, in an arched trajectory.

Strategy : Avoid the projectiles/bombs and ignore the fact that she has turned yellow: you can still hit her during these attacks with the Broom or a Towel.

During her strong attack, she will protect herself, float even higher, and cast one of four possible spells, indicated by the colour of her shield and the shimmering light on the ground beneath her.

Red: Several pools of fire emerge from the ground in random locations, and become columns of fire.

Strategy : Stand at the bottom or side ends of the screen, as the columns never seem to reach those tiles.

Blue: A series of meteors cross the arena from the top right to the bottom left.

Strategy : The top left and bottom right corners of the screen are safe points.

Yellow: Four 'angry' orbs appear and explode, each scattering fireballs in the eight directions around it.

Strategy : Depending on the position of the orbs, you should be able to avoid the shrapnel.

Green: Four strong units are summoned to the four corners of the arena: they can be Mages, regular Knights, or the big armoured ones.

Strategy : You should get rid of them as soon as possible. This is because while you are fighting them, Rosalia can still perform all her other moves, including summoning other units.

Remember that although Rosalia is invulnerable when shielded, she can be hit in her normal or yellow state. The tricky part is figuring out exactly where she will land after her advanced attack. Position yourself carefully when waiting for her to come down.

Rosalia is very tough and it takes 20-22 hits with the Legendary Broom to take her down. As always, lowering your game speed helps.

This is the final act of the game. If you still have things to do, now is the moment.


 * 1) Go and gamble at the Casino to claim the Orange-3 Gemstone and Health-Up #14.
 * 2) Enter the Maze of Trials to collect the Red-4 Gemstone on the 33th floor.
 * 3) Check the Field to collect the Red-3 Gemstone. If you interact with the plant again, Elena will pick up a Pretty Flower, stating that she will give him to Cal.

New item: Pretty Flower


 * Go to Eushully Dream Room, open all the chests and obtain the seven Dreams.


 * Make sure you have 50 Towels and a Carrot Cake, then walk into the Castle through the main entrance.


 * Return to the Audience Hall in V-6 where you fought Rosalia (north, east, north, west, north).

BOSS: Demon King

The Demon King is a very powerful opponent. There are two stages in this battle, and the first one is relatively easy if you know his attacks.

In the first phase, the Demon King travels around the screen, sometimes teleporting to a random location. When he stops, he can launch energy bolts in a pattern. The first two energy bolts will travel a short distance, then abruptly change direction and target your location. Shortly after, it will emit three more bolts, flying quickly in a straight line. Lastly, he will teleport and summon 8 more bolts, launching them all around him. Sometimes the Demon King will release the entire pattern of bolts, other times only a part of it.

Strategy : Avoid them all. If you dare to approach him and strike, do so after evading the first five bolts and slip between two of the last eight. This is very risky. You can stand at a distance and throw a Towel, but my advice is to save all the Towels for the second stage, which is much worse than the first.

The best chance to hit him is when he performs his second attack. He stops and releases a stream of energy, single-tile wide, which travels in a straight line. He may choose to launch just one, or four in the cardinal directions, clockwise. When he launches four, the first one is always aimed southward.

Strategy : By knowing this pattern, you can figure out the right moment to strike him. With the right timing, you can deliver up to three blows to the Demon King if he choose to perform the full stream pattern.

His third attack resembles that of Rosalia. He protects himself, becoming invulnerable, and launches a series of 5 lightning bolts that hit the ground (well, space). Strategy : The lightning bolts have a pattern. Three of them (usually the first, third, and fifth) strike near the center of the screen, while the other two target your position. Simply go to the bottom of the screen and keep running back and forth. The 3 lightning bolts that hit the center will never hit you, and you should be able to dodge the other two. Rarely, the pattern is inverted and 3 lighting bolts will target your position. The same strategy still applies.

Overall Strategy : Save Towels. Lower the game speed. Try NOT to use the Cake. The Hammer is actually a good weapon for this fight, because it allows you to stand diagonally from him during his second attack and strike him without the risk of being hit. Also, you'll need less accuracy if you try to hit him while he's close. Remember that the Hammer deals half the damage of the Legendary Broom: you'll be safer but you'll need more hits.

With the Legendary Broom, it will take 20 hits to finish the first stage.

BOSS: Demon King (second stage)

The second stage of the fight is brutal, and could prove to be a nightmare even at the lowest speed. The Demon King changes all his moves and gains powerful new attacks.

He travels around the arena and stops teleporting. Instead, he can choose to charge or dash towards you. Both of these moves are surprisingly fast. The charge is performed in a straight line, with a wave effect surrounding it. It's a fast attack that exceeds your running speed, and can be followed by the exact same charge multiple times, so be careful not to get caught in his path again after dodging it. Strategy : Avoid him at all costs and try to stay diagonal to him.

The dash is much more dangerous, and even faster than the charge. The Demon King suddenly rushes once and, if it reaches you, will hold on to you as it hovers and then crush you to the ground. This move will deal 1.5 carrots of damage to Elena (2 with the Ancient Uniform). His deadliest move is a second version of the dash: the Demon King makes three dashes towards you, adjusting his trajectory between the dashes and covering almost the entire arena, with the same result.

Strategy : The second version is always announced by two “whooshing” sounds, so you can anticipate when he’s going do dash. Get as farthest away from him as soon as you can and, depending on his starting position, you may be safe.

Speaking of the whooshing sound, going near him is also dangerous because he often throws his fists sideways, hitting you if you’re too close. If you hear the sound twice, run.

Lastly, he can summon a series of dragon-shaped rows of fire that travel left and right across the arena. Strategy : Try to squeeze into the nearest safe space between two of those streams of fire. The maneuvering space is very limited, and avoiding being hit may be difficult.

Overall Strategy (ranged) : If you used the Hammer in the first stage, change it back to the Legendary Broom and get your Towels ready. Hopefully you have all of your 50 Towels ready for this fight. You'll want to use them all before trying to get close to the Demon King to strike. Throw them very carefully and try to miss as little as possible. Stay away and diagonal from him and occasionally get in his direct way and throw a Towel. It all depends on your timing, his speed and a fair amount of luck. Another method is to provoke him by standing as far away from him as possible, but in his direct path. If he uses his charge, you should have time to throw a Towel and get out of the way.

When you run out of Towels, you will be forced to approach him. It's up to you to decide when to approach and strike, because there is no known pattern to his movements, except one.

Overall strategy (melee) : His deadliest move may actually be your biggest opportunity to retaliate. If he starts his three-points dash near one side of the screen, and you're on the other, there's a good chance he won't be able to catch you, stopping just short of reaching your position. After the dashes, it will sometimes freeze in place for a moment. You should be able to turn towards him, strike him with your Broom and run away. Needless to say, this is an extremely risky method, but the fact is that his three-dashes attack is his only move that you can predict.

Lowering your game speed to a minimum is definitely advisable, as is having a Carrot Cake. Try to practice the first stage until you can complete it almost flawlessly, and use the Cake in the second fight when your health is down to 1.5 - 2 carrots.

My current estimate is that it takes 25 hits with the Legendary Broom to finally defeat the Demon King (that's 50 Towels, hence the reason to try to miss him as little as possible).
