Dark Earth Hints
How can I defeat Thanandar?
1 of 6: Only light can defeat his darkness. Arkhan must find a source of light quickly!
2 of 6: Neither bullets nor fire will totally destroy him. The best you can do is delay him so you can find the light.
3 of 6: The giant doors at the opposite end of the room seem to radiate light from behind. You must open them!
4 of 6: Use normal combat techniques to delay Thanandar a bit. (The Thunderbolt From Before works well to knock him down.) While Thanandar is attempting to recover, run to the giant doors.
5 of 6: Watch out! Thanandar may get too close to the doors and obstruct your movement. Be ready to shoot him again as he approaches.
6 of 6: Open the doors by manipulating the 2 levers.
