found a glitch. i loaded a save in canonia & every there were trees. i could still see the characters & doors & still could move but its still annoying.
a little guide:
startegy: always make dodging his attacks first priority.
attack guide:
1. the attack were his beard goes all freaky u take a few steps back. easy.
2. the one where his moustche turns into a razor either run away or jump down/up on to another platform.
3. the laser beam attack is pretty nasty as it can hit u twice then may knock you up/down a platform for another blasting. he always attacks at the top first so go to the bottom platform then the top for the lower level attack.
4. the attack where the pieces of wood drop down is easy if u know how. get under another platform that way if it lands on top u have time 2 avoid it.
5. the fireball attack only happens in part 2 when he turns into a skull ( this guide contains spoilers) & u probalby wont even have 2 try to avoid this as long as u keep a good distance when he uses it.
hope this helps :)
