| Let's just reflect for a moment: isn't that just tragic? All this poor, troubled soul has ever wanted is to command the forces of darkness, enslave mankind, and play ball one last time with dear old Mr Snuffy. | | Let's just reflect for a moment: isn't that just tragic?

| Psychologists all agree that the final, desperate form adopted by an on-the-ropes evil sorcerer once his minions have all been felled tells us a great deal about his particular psychosis.

| What does this form tell us about Zarok? Well, I'm no psychologist, but if ever there was a clearer case of narcissistic agora-paranoid kleptomaniacal dysmorphism then... my name's not Geraldine.

| |
| Zarok's initial attacks are him chasing Dan around, spitting acid at him and swiping at him. He has a magical shield around him, which is disabled when he stands up on his hind legs. That's when Dan should strike. Dan should use a weapon like the Magic Sword, Dragon Armour or the Spear. Beware, though, once half of his life is diminished he'll start performing another attack which involves creating a powerful force field around him which will not only harm Dan, but will also set him on fire for a while.

| Unlike in the original game, Zarok transforms into a snake-like monster instead. This form is known as the '''Zarok Serpent'''.

| ====An Adventurer's Guide to Monsters entry====
| |
| This huge serpentine variant of the twisted madman is almost too horrific to contemplate, but a determined adventurer must of course face up to his responsibilities. Rumours abound that the only way to stun the slithering beast is to attack his hissing mouth. However this is unlikely to be an easy task when the beast is issuing forth devastating shockwaves, spat venom balls, and a writhing uncoiling tail of gargantuan proportions. Do your best dear adventurer to avoid these lethal offerings if you can. Legend has it that the heroic questor must find a way to injure the serpent's tail tip in order to vanquish the beast, but seeing as no would-be assassin has ever before been victorious in such a battle, one can only speculate.
| |
| ====Strategy====
| |
| The Zarok Serpent attacks [[Dan]] by sending out shockwaves and spitting out balls of green goo. [[Al-Zalam]] tells Dan to attack his mouth. Doing so will decrease a very small portion of his health. After Zarok swipes with his tail, attack the cage-like end. Zarok's tail swipe is his deadliest attack. Jump over it. Attacking the tail does more damage than attacking his mouth. After you attack the mouth and tail a few more times, you will win the battle.
