* BlowYouAway: Kergen, the second boss, will occasionally blow you toward the edge of the screen.



* DescendingCeiling: The path leading to Zaras has a spiked ceiling that quickly drops on Farron. If he doesn't open the door fast enough, the spikes will crush him and you'll lose a life.



* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: The Boomerang Annihilator magic weapon has short range, but will eventually return to Farron no matter where he is on the screen. With clever jumping, he can make the bullet orbit around him (à la Ryu from the NES ''NinjaGaiden'' games).
