Using Prince Sidon’s Power & Defeating the Sludge Like
Prince Sidon’s power is a defensive water shield that block sludge attacks but also allows you to throw water attacks in a water blast. Use it but it is a double edge sword if you relay on it and your timing is off. You block but you can be hit and can kill you depending on your stats.
First, you should should avoid his first sludge attack and use Prince Sidon’s power to clear the area. Then use your most powerful bow, which should be the Royal Guard’s Bow to attack with attached Splash Fruit. Then hit it with a Bomb Flower when you see the seed ball out. You can after doing your next attack with a Splash Fruit hit it with an upgraded arrow with Shock Fruit. When it is shocked you can slow time jumping in the air and hit the frizzing seed ball with arrows. Clear away an area and repeat until the Sludge Like is no more.
