Turmos is a dangerous demon plant that makes the Forest Shrine impassable. It guards the Emblem of Earth, preventing it from healing the planet after the Catastrophe. Turmos is the first major boss to be defeated by the Kid in Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas.

General[]

Turmos is a green demon plant with a giant mouth and many eye-like appendixes and leaves on its head. It shows four long and spiky vines as arms that it can freely move through the ground. It only shows its head and vines above ground.

History[]

When the Catastrophe hits and destroys Pirta as well, the Emblem of Earth is being taken into the Great Forest Shrine.[1] At that time a man in a dark cape appears and offers his help to the Owru.[2] He brings them a seed, which begins to grow violently into Turmos.[3] Turmos takes over the shrine,[4] making it impossible for the Owrus to enter it.

For a thousand years Turmos keeps access to the shrine and the Emblem of Earth barred, until the Kid arrives. Turmos uses one of its vine arms trying to deter the boy from proceeding but fails. Inside the main hall Turmos faces the Kid directly, fights and is finally defeated.

Battle[]

Defeating Turmos - Main Boss Battle

Turmos-battle-phase1

The Kid aiming at the vines first.

Like many of the bosses, Turmos has a weak-spot that must be revealed and attacked to deal substantial damage.

Attack

  • Up to four of Turmos' Arms are moving around the area. They will curl up and release suddenly and forcefully, damaging their opponent. Their natural spikes will also cause damage when hit by them or walked into them. Their attacks can be blocked with a shield.
  • When Turmos has its mouth open (revealing its weak-spot), it will try to suck the Kid into it, chew on him and spit him back out. This can be avoided by simply running away from Turmos.

Defense
  • The arms are vulnerable to all weapons, and must all be killed within a short time period in order to open the monster's mouth. The arms re-generate after a certain time, hence time is critical.
  • In order to avoid damage to the Kid, Turmos's weak-spot has to be attacked with long-range weapons, such as bombs or arrows. Light up a bomb while running away from the pull, then let go of it to allow it to float right towards the weak-spot. It will explode there dealing good damage. Alternatively, when at a distance to Turmos, turn around and quickly shoot an arrow at the weak-spot.

There are pots around the arena so that the Kid can replenish arrows, bombs or health.

Abilities[]

  • Vacuum breath: Turmos can create a vaccum effect with its mouth, making it easy to swallow people whole.
  • Corruption: Turmos is capable of corrupting powerful artefacts like the Emblem of Earth.
  • Extreme size: Turmos is very large, as proven by the fact that one of it's arms is very far from the main body.
