Tower of Fantasy Ruin A-03 Guide¶

The ruin is relatively small, with only a few rooms to explore. As you enter, you get the Omnicannon relic if it is your first time on easy mode. If you’re on normal, you head straight into a jumping puzzle. You make it to the same spot, with a chest on the right of the walkway into the room with Hyena enemies.

After that, you have to deal with the hostiles in the broken tile room, with the collapsed pillars and ghost mushrooms on the wall. Take care of the enemies, and then cross the gap using the Omnicannon to create a jump spot to climb the wall.

As you enter the nest stage, there are a few more enemies, which you dispatch. You then find a level to pull, which turns on a moving platform. You need to aim your Omnicannon at the far end wall between the platform and the edge of the platform. You may then jump forward, dash forward, and land on the extended Omnicannon tube. If it hasn’t extended, feel free to use the moving platform at the water to climb up to it, jumping over the lazers as you pass them by.

Vulcan Boss Fight¶

This is the most dangerous move in Vulcan’s arsenal, but it is easy to avoid.

You walk into the boss room with a baddy called Vulcan at the end of the A-03 Ruin. His main skill uses an electrical AOE attack that surrounds his body. The other is his electrical beam. The boss spins around in a 360-degree. Try to dodge both attacks, but the first is a little harder to spot his animation windup.

The boss also makes a move that causes him to fly over your position. This is another dodge move you can easily perform. Do be careful, though, as the area Vulcan flies over leaves behind electric fields for a short period that will damage you if you stand on them. Lastly, the boss will fly up in the air and throw an electrical staff on the ground. It will electrocute the entire floor space. You need to stand on the platforms in the room to avoid it. We recommend standing on one near the end of the Ruin as it means you can attack using a ranged weapon to continue to damage the boss while it channels its electrical skills to the floor space. Alternatively, use a healing staff or take a bite to eat to restore any health you may have lost.

Lastly, the boss has two different forms of basic attacks. One is a basic melee attack with its staff, while another is to shoot several volt balls at you. The ranged attack is very easy to dodge, while the melee swing is a little harder. Both don’t do that much damage, so don’t worry about it if you get hit by them.

These four skills are all there is to know about Vulcan, thus completing the Ruin-A03 walkthrough. The next bit will focus on the Ruin A-03 chests for easy and normal.

(1 of 6) First chest for both easy and normal.

1. (Easy Mode) The green chest is by the fence as you climb up the first jumping puzzle on normal difficulty. You can find it by the fence before you enter the destroyed ruin with the Hyena enemies. This is available for both easy and normal.
2. (Normal Mode) As for the second chest and third chest, there are two chests in the room following the first chest. The second chest is to the left as you enter the room on the floor below. Simply drop down the left side, and the green chest is beside the ruined pillar in the ditch and below the ramp. As for the third, it is on a ledge on the opposite side of the room. You need to use tour Omnicannon to jump across the chasm in the room and climb up.
3. (Easy Mode) The fourth chest on normal is the second chest on easy difficulty. You can find this towards the lazer platform with the lever. When you get to the lever, look behind you; there is a room with lazers covering the door. All you need to do is shoot your Omnicannon at the lazers and create a space safely to walk into the room and loot the chest.
4. (Hard mode) The first hard mode chest is on a ledge in the first room you spawn in. You can either head to the first chest on this list and then dash over, or use a Omnium Hand Cannon to build a tower and then climb it thaty way.
5. (Hard Mode)The final chest on hard mode is via the ramp that leads into the water on the final lazer puzzle platform.

And there you have it. You now know the locations of all the chests in Tower of Fantasy’s Ruin A-03
