According to the [[Pumpkin Witch]], it was a bad influence on the young seedlings, so she tasked [[Sir Dan]] with defeating him in exchange for her [[Dragon Gem]]. To awake the monster, Dan had to mash all of his pod sacks. After Dan destroyed the King, life returned to the land in the area. | ||

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.
