How to Find The Chapter 1 Secret Boss
This page contains information on how to find and defeat the secret boss of Chapter 1 - Jevil. This secret enemy is hiding near the end of the chapter in the Castle, but will require you to find 3 keys to open the door to his lair.
Locating Jevil's Cell
After escaping the Castle Dungeons, walk ahead past the shop and take the elevator down to Floor 1. Walk south and then east to take the other elevator down to floor “??????” Head down the stairs. You can save your game at the bottom of the stairs if you’d like. Don’t worry, it’s not time for the boss yet.
Walk up to the cell and have a chat with whoever’s inside. They want you to free them and, subsequently, they give you a hint as to where to find the key. ”The Key is hidden from the eyes. The old shopkeeper knows a secret.”
Note: Freeing this prisoner will lead to a secret boss battle. You do not need to defeat them to finish chapter one but defeating them does give you a powerful item. You can also do this after beating the game.
Take the elevator again to the Floor 1F
Broken Key A Location - Talk to the Old Shopkeeper
Following the prisoner’s advice, talk to the old shopkeeper: Seam. Here’s how you can get there fairly quickly. Move west but be careful, there’s a Rudinn Ranger up ahead. If it sees you, you’ll have to fight a pair of them. After moving west take the first path south and travel down the long hallway.
Keep going south and you’ll end up at the post-maze Forest with a new fast travel door available. Take that door to the Field. Move west, in this area you’ll find Seam’s shop. Enter, select talk, and select Strange Prisoner.
- Broken Key A will be added to your inventory.
- ”If you’re so driven, find the other two pieces, and get someone to fix them.”
- Here’s a hint for one of them “walk where the stars don’t shine.”
Broken Key B Location - Walk Where the Stars Don’t Shine
Head back east and fast travel to the Bake Sale. Move east, from the Bake Sale, to the next section which will feature two Bloxers moving back and forth. Avoid them or fight them. Continue following the path, heading east, to the next area. Now you’re in the area you need to be.
Follow the path, leaving the first circle. The second circle has a path leading to the next section (east) and a path heading south. Take the southern path.
There you’ll see another circle of Paper Dancers. Take the bottom road move down when you’re at the center of that bottom path.
You’ll end up in an entirely new section! A Rabbick will run into you. Go ahead and battle all 3. Defeat them peacefully or violently.
Follow the path and head up the tiny sliver of a road. You’ll reach a treasure chest. Open it and inside is Broken Key B.
Broken Key C Location - Field Puzzle
Return to the Bake Sale and use the door on the left to Fast Travel to the Field. Head east and enter the already open gates. Contine north and keep with the path. You’ll see a Jigsawry on the right hand side.
Move to the right and you’ll see the puzzle from earlier. The combination is Diamond, Heart, Clover, Spade. Below is how to input it.
- Diamond (middle)
- Switch (right)
- Diamond (middle)
- Spade (left)
- Switch (right)
- Spade (left)
Open the chest to get Broken Key C.
Fix the Key and Open the Cell (Optional)
Return the way you came (so head west, south, and then keep moving west). Go back to the Fast Travel door and head to the Bake Sale. Now that you have all 3 Key Pieces, take the path north to Smith Malius to get it fixed.
Return to the Fast Travel door and go to the Castle. Exit the door and follow the path east. Once you enter the castle take the elevator on the right and return to the prisoner on floor “??????”
Jevil Boss Fight
Chaos! Chaos!! This is the hardest battle in the game, by far. Defeat Jevil peacefully or violently. This time your method does make a difference. Peacefully results in getting a special piece or armor, violently gives you a special weapon.
Attacks to dodge
- ”Catch me if you can” Jevil will teleport, appearing at various sides of the screen they toss out spades. These come pretty quick by the way.
- ”Shall we play around?” Jevil will fire spades at you that spiral towards you.
- ”My hearts go out to all the sinners” 4 hearts will sweep across the screen, spinning towards you. There will be 2 sets of these hearts coming from opposite sides.
- ”Let’s make the Devil’sknife” Jevil’s hook shaped weapon i.e the Devilsknife will appear in a square formation, fly into the center, then back out. This will repeat a few times.
- ”Let’s ride the carousel game” Cite bit deadly duck horses will appear as 3 diagonal rows moving up and down.
- ”Having fun yet, join the club” dodge clubs coming at you at intense speeds from both the left and right side of the screen.
- All the above attacks repeat with a few variations added in (ex. Spades firing differently and the carousel layout changing)
- A few clubs will appear to fire 3 rows of 3 circular bullets.
- Diamonds will fire from the bottom of the screen
- Later in the battle Jevil will begin throwing multiple of the aforementioned attacks at once. They’re staggered enough that you can still dodge them but it’s meant to visually and mentally overwhelm you.
- The combat box will be removed and Devilsknives will fall from above.
Results
- If you take the peaceful route Jevilstail armor is added
- If you take the violent route you get the Devilsknife
