Does this need to be in specifically that order? Killed ice head first with fire rod, then fire with ice rod, all hammer on the body, no pop.
TheMysticalOne 22 May 2023 21:39
Yes. Specifically fire head using only ice rod first. Do not damage ice head until fire head is dead.

I should read things first...seriously. Lol

You'll need at least one magic bottle with magic recharge potion for this. Keep this in mind in case you're doing a bottleless run.
KojiroS 28 May 2023 23:46
You need way more than one bottle. The flame head is tanky AF if you only use the ice rod.
MuffinsMcDanish 29 May 2023 02:38
Hitting it with the rod once makes it more susceptible to further attacks, so if you keep attacking quickly with the rod it dies fast and uses the magic meter more efficiently. It doesn't hurt to have more potions on backup though.

Tried to do what Muffin suggested but it didn't work out for me. The Fire Head is simply way too durable to do this with only 1 magic meter, I spammed the item button as fast as I could but I only had 3 magic shots left after I destroyed the fire head.

So for those coming for the revision, I recommend bringing at least 3 bottles. 1 for magic and 2 for healing. Or both if you want the Blue Potion. The final phase does 4 hearts of damage each hit, and by this point of the game if you've been aiming for both this cheev and the one where you need to beat Turtle Rock first, you'll have 13 heart containers. So that's alot of damage to avoid. Fortunately the snake body is easy to move around and get hits in if you trap it in a loop.
CassetteCobra 2 Jun 2023 19:52
The healing is also for getting through the dungeon, as there's those bouncing enemies and chain chomps that deal 3-4 hearts of damage so watch out for them. The fire bars are also annoying to deal with.

Once you've beaten the boss and unlocked the cheev, reset the game and play the dungeon again so you can continue towards the bottleless run.

Do you have the 1/2 magic meter? I feel like that's also useful.
