Strategy[]
In the battle with the Fire Vellumental, the Player must line board in order to get close to the Fire Vellumental while at the same time trying to avoid the flaming feathers, though due to the Fire Vellumental being in flames, its not possible to damage the Fire Vellumental normally, there are two safe ways to damage it.
The first is to use the Iron Boots instead of the Normal Jump, as that can bypass the fire, the second is the flip the 'ON' Switch in order to use the Water Vellumental, if success it will put out the fires as well as weaken the Fire Vellumental and making him safe to the Hammer and Jump attacks for three turns.
Players should be very cautious, as if the Fire Vellumental is hit, it will lose its feathers, and after a few turns it will regain its flames and will reignite the feathers again, the Player must decide on how to approached the boss, more importantly if the Player is proceeding to finish of the Fire Vellumental with the Magic Hand ability, the Player must make sure that the Fire Vellumental's heath is less then a quarter, as if use too early, the Fire Vellumental will not only regain its' flames, but it will also regain all of its feathers and will restore all of its health.
