Defeat the Boss
Objective: Battle! Sand Scorpion! The first boss of the game is also one of the easiest. Start out by collecting rings. Get close to the creature and it will try to attack you with its claws. When it does, jump to make a homing point appear. Attack as soon as it goes red, and keep the homing chain going until you hit the big eye on its back. After doing that twice, it will flip around and attack you with its big eye. Jump and continuously use the homing attack on the eye to defeat it.
