One might be tempted to try a ranged weapon this time around, ''however'', the developers behind this remake added a major new wrinkle: as the Pumpkin King loses every quarter of his HP, he raises a twofold defence. First, he will regrow one or more pod sacs at random to draw energy from the surrounding land. Second, while regaining HP, he will grow a hard vine barrier around himself that is impervious to all weapons. Dan needs to find and destroy all regenerated sacs to drop the barrier and halt the Pumpkin's self-healing. Attack as usual and repeat up to thrice more to squish this overgrown squash for good. | One might be tempted to try a ranged weapon this time around, ''however'', the developers behind this remake added a major new wrinkle: as the Pumpkin King loses every quarter of his HP, he raises a twofold defence.
