Just line up the tombstones with the boss for your getting exp and hurting him + hitting him nonstop from behind while he shoots his lazers. When he turns into the skull i Beat him with the second to last upgrade under 4k frames because i would attack the skull while he was changing spot and my attacks would push him back slowing him down allowing me to hit him a lot.

The best way to kill him is to get behind him when he uses his lasers and just keep attacking. You can easily rack up hits and levels doing this. Also get all the tombstones together in a clump and attack those when Tom's offscreen.

You should either adjust the position of the platforms or make it so you can jump through them. I died so many times trying to quickly hit that little spot to get up on them to dodge the lazer. Other than that it was a good game.

That was the most satisfying end to the epic quest... Glad it was last haha, nothing warms my hart more than hacking mercilessly at someones beard, therefore destroying them as a man to which they are just an empty shell of a skeleton. Then of course resuming said beating on their newly exposed fragile bone structure.

This is pretty easy if you know the pattern. For the beard, stay in the corner and let Tom come to you. Attack him when he gets close. You should push him away with your attacks while taking little to no damage. When he does lasers, if he's on your side let him do his thing and wail on the back of his head. If he's on the other side, he'll always laser the level you are NOT on first. Let it pass and then move to that level as he's lasers where you just were. When he drops bread, stay under a platform. It will bounce off the platform giving you time to move out of the way. Repeat this until he goes into skull mode. Here, just stay right in the middle and attack him as he gets close. When he fireballs on the side, they won't hit you. When he fireballs in the middle of the level, you want to be ALMOST right underneath him. then move and bit to avoid the fireballs.
Good luck!

The skull is stupid easy compared to the head.. You can just stand in the middle and easily dodge the fireballs, Just don't keep up against it. Use that long pole and swing up at it.

I should get the points after defeating Fulp form. The skull should be hard, unless there is a way to refill health or get more lives. This is going to be the reason I never complete the Epic quest.

controls are very unresponsive 2. it seem like they really rushed this game. y character keeps running after I stop or I cant move after an attack I have to keep clicking onscreen to fix it. leaves me open to attack

To get past his bread attack, just run underneath a ledge when you see him fly up. When the bread falls, it bounces once on the ledge, giving you time to run out of the way.

tip- when he shoots the lasers you can go behind him and they will miss you entirely. this will allow you to keep up your xp chain. i got it as high as x24 at one point, and once i learnt this i was able to get the final upgrade and got 3483.

Woo! i managed to sort of glitch the skull in the corner of the map by continuously tapping the A button even while Tom was dying!.

I dont get the comments about the skull being so difficult, he hasnt got a lot of health. Just dodge his flame attacks, smack him once or twice and go out of range of his flames, repeat a few times.

Semi-followed nitehart's guide, and took just a few tries to get the hard achievement. Definitely use the tombstones to level up faster. Damage increases noticeably with each level -- I recommend trying to reach level four (gold) before he transforms into a skull. And as an FYI, 4000 frames on my decently specced laptop was approximately two minutes.

His beard form has 3 types of attacks: 1) Beard spikes, which he will spam twice: Attack him at max range to avoid getting hit. Be aware that your character will sometimes step forward and do a spinning attack. 2) Laser beams which he will first shoot along the top part of the screen, then the bottom part. Stay on the ground throughout and when he flies to the side of the screen to use it, immediately run behind him and spam attacks. 3) Triple cheese drop: Hide under a platform and if one is about to drop on top of you, dodge it as it will bounce once on the platform and drop through. I managed to defeat this form without my character dying once on my first run using this strategy, but it is possible to die a few times and still make the hard badge. Attack your tombstones while you wait for him to change form. Skull form where he flies around the screen and shoots flares in 8/9 directions: Stun-lock him by continuously attacking him.

At the start, jump onto the second platform but don't attack. He'll send his beard out at you twice, jump and dodge them. Then go to the far left of the far left platform and hit him, he'll try to get into his laser shooting mode but you'll be hitting him in the other direction, stalling him. keep attacking, and you should rack up a huge combo.

When he his firing his laser, just attack him from behind. He will always fire inward and so won't ever hit you. By doing this, you can get high combos very quickly

When he does his laser you can just stand behind his head and continue to attack him without getting hit at all. That's how I got the 4 minute achievement.
