Powering up the evil ring

[Angelatic Birdy]

As hugo is do zero damage to those red monsters.. Did kill 1 with bombs but i have to kill 3 of them?!!!
playing hard mode..

Bombs are definitely your best bet, yeah. Trick's really just to lure them into an area where you can take them one on one.

[Seraphita]

Best way to go is to train one level or two. Those monsters will suddenly become a little easier.

How do you survive powering up the Evil ring? the instant I do, i get 9999 damage done to me and die. I read somewhere that you have to put on the blue amulet, but you can't kill the red monsters without having the angel thing equipped. I have no idea how to beat this quest

[Seraphita]

Easy. Keep the ring off/unequipped. Use the angel thing, kill them. Ring powered up. Good so far? Go in your inventory, equip the blue amulet thing then equip the ring. No need to wait to be at the door. You'll live then you can go to the door and go on.

Yeah, don't charge the thing while you're wearing it. It kinda hurts. Yes, I died that way the first time too. :(

And take heart for your next time through -- Yunica has a harder time with a lot of things, but she chews through these guys so much easier.

[Anna_Maniac]

Ah, dammit! I didn't realize I was wearing the ring. Tried it again this time making absolutely sure the ring wasn't selected and managed to survive. In other news, I've become exceedingly efficient at killing those things with Hugo :P Anyway, thanks for the advice.

4 years late to this discussion but I thought I would drop in and leave it for anybody else who happens to find this topic- take them one at a time to the top of the stairs to the annex, the the flat area that is, drop a bomb near the wall but not next to it on the right, when they lung that way double jump and run left, they will get stuck next to the wall by the bomb, repeat on the left side though the left side seemed less reliable than the right to force them to get stuck, and just continue back and forth and you should be able to do this without getting hit.

The more effective way is to bait them one at a time into the sand pit to the right of the stairs, then stand on the stairs so they jump repeatedly into the wall. If you creep downward, you can face right and peek your bottommost Eye just past the bottom of the railing and shoot it with complete impunity...for like a solid minute of 1 damage apiece :P

This is easier with Hugo EX, because your Eyes vary formation based on your current special. Trap Mine has them follow you like a line of ducks, so you can just bait the monster into the pit, climb out while the it's turning around, and one of your Eyes will still be in the pit on top of the target without needing to adjust at all.
