How to defeat Leongar in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Clearing the last stage of Redgar Forbidden Lands opens the way to the final area and stage of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Lab Discovera. This onslaught of the game's final bosses goes down at Lab Discovera, which has no optional missions or Waddle Dees to save. To proceed, you'll need to defeat the King of the Beast Pack—Leongar.

Tips on how to defeat Leongar in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

When you enter you'll see a Maxim Tomato, and you have a wide gamut of Copy Abilities available before facing off against the boss. If you're doing this all in one go, right after defeating Forgo Dedede, then you can choose Dragon Fire now. The magenta flames of this ability linger to create lasting damage, and you don't need to worry about charging a super attack while fighting. Moreover, Dragon Fire Kirby can glide and cover distance quickly.

Bring a Maxim Tomato, to go, from Waddle Dee Town. It will be a great boon during these final bosses if you can save it to use in the worst pinch. You can enter this stage with any Copy Ability, but we went with Space Ranger. The huge black orb it can shoot after a good charge will inflict massive damage while slowing down the boss—sometimes long enough for you to charge your weapon again and release another shot! If you can pull this off, you may be able to deplete as much as a third of Leongar's life bar.

Once the fight begins, Leongar will waste no time swiping at you with his massive claws. Jump over these swipes, or give them some distance. Then, watch out for the reverberating shockwaves on the ground when his joined fists try to slam you down. Keep in mind that you can always inhale and shoot the stars from a range to deal some good damage as normal Kirby.

Beware the glowing charge of Leongar

Phase two will begin once you deplete about half of Leongar's life bar. His eyes will glow now as he sends three large burning projectiles, one after the other, that you must dodge. Slide past the first with good timing, then you can go right under the middle of the second projectile before you dodge the third again. Effective, timed dodging is important here as ever.

Many of Leongar's attacks are stationary, or he will crawl slowly toward you and damage you if you don't move. You can get in some charged attacks with Space Ranger when he's attacking, but be sure to stay out of the way of the huge energy beam he spews from his mouth.

If you're having trouble, try to perfect your movements. Use some of the Treasure Road stages to master your skills with each Copy Ability, or change the difficulty. Now, congratulations on defeating the seventh main boss of Kirby and the Forgotten Land!
