Quote-deco


King Angler is the father of Princess Fin and the ruler of the Gillfolk until his death shortly after the Catastrophe. His corpse is cursed by the Dark Apostle and frozen in time inside the Royal Palace, alongside his daughter and one other Gillman. When the Kid lifts the curse, King Angler's corpse is re-animated and attacks but he is defeated and put to his final rest by the young boy.

Appearance[]

King Angler is a very large, blue Gillman, with several small tentacle-like appendixes on his face. He wears a pink/purple kilt and golden wristbands. He holds a staff with the symbol of the Emblem of Ocean.

Synopsis[]

Background[]

King Angler, admired by his subjects,[1] once ruled over Submeria, although his influence is kept in the background during Knights of the Lost Realm. Princess Fin mentions merely that she will take care of her father when Hero, Trin and Gen are about to meddle with Ootheca and release Yurmala again in order to return the Emblem of Ocean.

Some time after the Catastrophe and the poisoning of the world by TRILOTH,[2] King Angler dies as he shares a tight bond to the ocean.[1] He could not live with the destruction brought about to his kingdom,[3] a sentiment shared by other Gillfolk.[4]

He is seated inside his mausoleum, behind him the Emblem of Ocean, when Princess Fin comes to offer the mysterious mourning gift. Unknown to her, it freezes the entire Palace,[5] making it impossible for the other Gillfolk to enter it for the next thousands years.[6]

Dead King Angler

Post-Catastrophe[]

When the Kid arrives with the Fire Spell, he unfreezes the palace, Princess Fin and the other Gillman. This re-animates the cursed corpse of King Angler and he begins to attack the Kid, hovering above the ground. A fight ensues but the Kid is victorious, defeating King Angler and putting him to rest eternally.

The Gillfolk cannot believe that their once beloved King was able to become a living dead and attack his own daughter.[7]

Battle[]

Defeating Dead King Angler

Attack
King Angler has two ways of attacking his opponent:

  • He will use his staff to aim a blue laser at the Kid, freezing him when it hits. The laser also freezes buttons!
  • He will raise the staff and stomp it down in order to make several blocks of ice fall down from the ceiling.
    It is best to stay on the move to avoid the falling shards and the laser, as they cannot be blocked.

King Angler's weakspot revealed.

Defense
King Angler's corpse is impermeable to any direct attack. Like other big bosses, he has to be forced to reveal his red-golden weak-point in order to be defeated.

Revealing his weakspot
He has to be lured into the fire breath of the statues in the four corners of the room. There is a (frozen) button in the center of the mausoleum. Pressing the buttons will lower the platforms behind each statue for a limited amount of time. Rise with the platforms to press the button behind the statue. This will make the statue breath fire. Now lure King Angler into the fire breath.

Once he stays in a sunk stance, his weak-point must be attacked continuosly with the sword to deal damage. Repeat this process three times.
