Lost Castle 2 Walkthrough – All bosses and achievements

If you don’t want to go on an adventure with all six types of in-game weapons active, you can change your weapon drop preferences before you leave the camp.

To change which weapons drop during your adventure, speak to Serena the Blacksmith when you’re in camp. You can find her across from the blonde NPC with the rabbit ears, she has mint-green hair and wears a hood.

You must select at least three types of weapons from the list, but you can change your preferences any time you’re back in camp.

How to upgrade your weapon

To upgrade your weapon, you’ll need to find an Ethereal Furnace. These are found in the merchant’s area during your adventure, and have orange crystals in the middle of a circle.

You will need to spend Iron Ingots to use the Ethereal Furnace, which you can get by dismantling weapons, armor, and other items at the end of any area.

The first upgrade you do will cost 70 Iron Ingots, the second costs 100, and the price rises from there with each upgrade. It’s best to find your preferred weapon before you upgrade one because of the high cost.

How to enchant your weapon

Like the Ethereal Furnace, you will need to find an Ethereal Enchantment Device to enchant your weapon. The first one of these appears in the mountains, so you won’t be able to enchant any weapons until you reach this point on the map.

Enchanting weapons costs Iron Ingots, and you can have up to three enchantments on any one weapon. If you decide to enchant the weapon further, you will need to choose an enchantment to erase so that you can have the new one on your weapon.

It costs 20 Iron Ingots to enchant a weapon.

How to use Alchemy Mixtures

Alchemy Mixtures can be picked up after clearing an area of monsters. They are extremely rare because there are only 11 of them to collect.

When you find an Alchemy Mixture from a treasure chest, it gets added to your collection back at camp.

To use any of the Mixtures, you just need to have it in your Alchemy Amulet before you go on an adventure. You’ll be able to see if there’s a Mixture in your Alchemy Amulet by going into your inventory and navigating down to the relevant slot on the far left.

How to change the Mixture in your Alchemy Amulet

To change your Alchemy Mixture, you will need to be back in camp. Locate the cauldron in the middle of the camp and interact with it – you can also interact with the Alchemist next to it, but he’ll open the same pop-up with all of your Mixtures on display.

At the beginning of your adventure, it’s likely that you’ll only have – and be able to use – one Alchemy Mixture.

To put it in your Amulet, you just need to select it so that a green dot appears on the Mixture in the menu.

If you want to be able to hold more than one Mixture in your Alchemy Amulet, you’ll need to pay for some camp upgrades.

In the center section of the camp upgrade menu, fix the Alchemist’s Hut, and then upgrade the various items until you reach the third row up. This row has two Expanded Amulet upgrades that you can use to have up to three Mixtures in your Alchemy Amulet at any one time.

How to beat all bosses in Lost Castle 2

Beating any of these bosses will give you one of the achievements available by playing Lost Castle 2 through Steam.

Each boss has their own annoying way of attacking, from charging with scissors to throwing giant boulders. By using the guides below, you’ll know what to expect from each boss before your fight and how to beat them.

How to beat the Goblin Champion

The Goblin Champion is a hard-hitter. You’ll experience falling rocks, a charging monster who can knock you down if you’re in its path, and more.

Thankfully, there is a pattern to this utter destruction. The Goblin Champion will thump the ground in the direction you last stood in, and it’ll do this twice. You can dodge by rolling out of the way or just running outside of his range (for the thumps, that’s directly next to the Goblin Champion).

Following those thumps, he will try to jump on you by leaping into the air with a huge target circle. Wait for the Goblin Champion to leap before you move and then just roll out of the way of the target circle.

Next is the hard part. Several purple targets will appear on the ground to indicate that rocks are about to fall. While they’re falling, the Goblin Champion will charge at you. To avoid these two incidences, you’ll need to avoid the target areas of the rocks, and then dodge in the opposite direction of the Goblin Champion just before he reaches you. It might take you a couple of tries to get the timing down, but don’t take much longer than that, or you’ll die faster than you want to.

After charging three times, the Goblin Champion will hit his head and fall to the ground. This is one of your only chances to attack and it lasts mere seconds. As soon as he gets up, the cycle starts again.

You can hit the Goblin Champion at other moments. I suggest between thumps. You will also have to deal with little minion goblins that he summons, but they’re easy to kill.

How to beat the Mad Gardener

Remember those scissors I mentioned? The Mad Gardener is the one who runs around with them. Despite this, I actually find him the easiest boss to beat in the game.

The Mad Gardener has two stages – the first is very chaotic and random. You’ll need to time your attacks to make sure you don’t get caught in any of his whirling scissor attacks or the scissor charge. Never get as close to the scissors as I was in the screenshot above; that was a mistake and I got caught in the attack.

Instead, avoid the Mad Gardener’s attack by dodging in the opposite direction of his path as he comes towards you.

After you take his HP down to zero, he’ll stop, grow some poison-spitting flowers, and gain all his health back.

There are intermittent points during his attacks where he stops to rest; this happens after a barrage of poison has been spat in your direction and all over the rest of the area.

He will visibly wilt and stop moving. It’s at this exact moment that you need to attack with everything you have.

You can also attack him while he’s letting the flowers spit poison at you. Just go behind his back and attack him from behind. Get a few strikes in, dodge, and immediately start moving again. You should almost always be moving when facing the Gardener.

How to beat the Forest Guardian

To beat the Forest Guardian, you’re going to need to be fast.

As well as slamming their hammer into the ground, the Forest Guadian throws poison all over the area in vast amounts.

There were two main attacks I used to take down the Forest Guardian: bombs and charge attacks. I took a few risks, throwing bombs while poison was falling and then quickly moving out of the way with a dodge.

Charge attacks are perfect to use while the Forest Guardian is using the poison attacks, you can run from the side they aren’t facing for better results.

After the Forest Guardian gets down to half their HP, they will stop, change form, and start throwing even more poison. Direct your attacks towards the bulbs of poison at the base of the tree (on both sides!).

After you take out the poison bulbs, the Forest Guardian will summon tree roots across the area. Avoid these, they’ll trap you.

The last part of the fight is more…
