Maximo: Ghosts to Glory

This boss is difficult if you do not know what to do.

The Captain has many attacks:

- An anchor slice, followed by a downward smash. Do not block these attacks, as you can avoid them easier. But if you wish, only block while crouching.

- Gun shots: White and Orange. Orange shots represent fire and can be blocked. The White shots represent ice and cannot be blocked easily. They also freeze Maximo in his track for a limited time.

- Spinning slice: He will begin to spin for a good few seconds. This attack damages you very much and cannot be blocked. Run when you expect this attack.

To defeat him:
You should see three holes with bars on the floor. These will close and open occasionally. You need to hit the Captain, and when he's in pain he will start jumping away from you. You need to hit him so he can jump away in one of the holes and stuck his peg - leg. Then position yourself next to his peg - leg, crouch and strike with your Parilla (Maximo's sword). This will damage him by one quarter. Repeat this.

Note that the holes may close and open randomly. I was having an extremely hard time here until I figured out the strategy. Good luck.
