Details & Highlights
This is a charge based enemy, and honestly not too difficult of one to deal with. As its charging and just about to ram at you it will jump up in the air. You just need to simply use a dash burst to go underneath it and that will cause zero damage to you. Once this is done, the horn beetle will get stuck in the wall.

This in turn reveals its soft orange weak spot on its behind, get some hits in and damage it. At this point it will shoot out fire that goes along the ground, simply jump and dash over it. After this, it will hop in the air a bunch, just walk out of its path while getting some hits in during this process. These are all of the attacks that it has available, it will just repeat them throughout this brief battle.

Remember that you can use your heal ability at any point, and do so if you take damage during this process. This really isn’t too difficult of a challenge within the game, and sort of a warm up for trials to come. The creature’s health bar is also shown at the top of the screen in case you’re wondering how much damage is left. If you need a visual aid, the video below showcases the boss battle. It is available at 1:03:24 as a time stamp. I hope you found this helpful, good luck your journey in this sequel game.
