Barbarian Boss

From Castle Crashers - Wiki on Neoseeker

[edit] Guide

The trick to this boss, is simple. Don't use magic, seeing as it will be doing so little damage at this stage in the game. Using only melee will also get you the achievement 'Melee is best'. To defeat this boss position yourself bellow him then jump and melee him while moving back and forth, the boss will move with you and he'll have little time to retaliate. After every attack you should drop in height, when you land just jump back up and repeat. Through out the fight he will try to hit you with four different attacks, two of which you can block. His most basic attack is a punch, this attack you can block. The other block-able attack is when he pull the spike wall out in from of him and shoot out the spikes, when using this attack he will be invulnerable in the front leaving his back unprotected. The two attack which you can not block his when he slam the spike wall on his back down in front of him, once the boss health reach bellow half he'll pull out his last attack. When you see him start drinking from a canteen you will want to move either up or down, depending on his current position, to dodge this attack. If you find yourself low on health just back away from the boss and go after the Barbarians as they will sometime drop food when defeated.
