Really helps to be at full health for this fight and just range blasting him with your sword. Obviously, look out for the unavoidable blasts and the head that detaches

Much easier than i thought. Range blast help a lot. Get some potions before fight. On my second try flying head choose awful pattern and just stuck at the right side.

Got this swordless. The only way to damage it in that case is with the wand at close range, it's effectively like playing with the sword without sword beams. It was by far the boss that took me the most attempts. I kept dodging at the bottom of the screen and attacked whenever I got a clear opening. When one of the heads started flying, if it went after me I'd try to stay at the opposite side vertically before it got too close, THEN move as needed. In other words, if you're at risk of getting cornered near the bottom of the screen, move up FIRST, then move in other directions as needed. This way I never got cornered, but it took some time to land attacks and I still had to be careful dodging the fireballs.

I thought this was the hardest achievement in the set - the easiest way to get this, is to postpone the fight until you got the magical sword which will kill Gleeok in only 6 hits with the sword beam. Destroy the first head while staying at the left and avoiding the beam attacks, and when the first head is detached, move to the side opposite to where the detached head is roaming around and continue dodging beam attacks while range blasting yourself.

Since the name Snake is not mentioned in-game, it may be worth including the dungeon number in the achievement description. Snake dungeon is dungeon 4. Gleeok is the boss of dungeon 4

Yeah

Somehow this was easier without full health. Got this on the fifth consecutive attempt. Once we took out the first head, we started panicking, but we got it! This was fun! =D
