Phantom Striker

Once you’ve finished the Stranded Ship the Phantom Striker will appear on the map. He’s an agile opponent with the power of lightning at his disposal. He has a sword with longer reach than the shovel so don’t try to attack him head on. Instead jump up and use downward strikes from above.

The Phantom Striker will draw in lightning energy from the sky and shoot it towards you. Be ready to jump over the lightning bolts. He also may teleport into the lightning and summon lightning orbs to fly towards you. He’s immune to damage while he does this so try to stay away and avoid his attacks.

If you defeat the Phantom Striker quickly enough you’ll be rewarded with gems totalling 2000 Gold. If you lose over half your health or take too long he’ll only leave you with 10 Gold.
