This fight is extremely easy once you acquired the [[Magic Sword]].
 
If you are under 4 [[Life Bottle|life bottles]] there will be a [[Health Fountain|health fountain]] present before the battle starts. Although if you prefer to better prepare for the final battle, feel free to visit one of the easy levels such as [[The Graveyard]] and fill your [[Life Bottle|Life Bottles]] with life there. In [[The Graveyard]] level there are two [[Health Fountain|health fountains]].
 
Now for the final battle.
 
When you walk into the big area where the final battle happens there is a chest to your right. In the chest you will find [[Good Lightning|The Good Lightning]] which you will need to pass the first part of the battle. Take it before the battle starts. There is also a chest to the left where you will find the [[Silver Shield (MediEvil)|Silver Shield]].
 
Once the battle starts you have to keep your [[Knights of Gallowmere|skeletons]] alive by using the [[Good Lightning]] on them. This will use your own life so tread with care and try not to spam it too much. My preferred method is to run around and every time I see a [[Knights of Gallowmere|skeleton]] that goes yellow I spam my [[Good Lightning]] on him.
 
Once the first part is over you will receive [[Energy Vial]] for every [[Knights of Gallowmere|skeleton]] that survived - 8 maximum.
 
If done right you will end up with your life bar and all the [[Life Bottle|life bottles]] full.
 
After this, [[Zarok]] will send his right hand [[Lord Kardok]] to deal with you. Equip your [[Magic Sword]] and start running around him. If you need to quickly escape his attack just use your [[The Daring Dash|Daring Dash]]. Every time he is not walking around just keep spamming your X button on him, hitting him with your [[Magic Sword]]. His health will go away pretty quickly. If done right, he is never going to even touch you and you will end up with all your flasks full.
 
Finally [[Zarok|The Zarok]] himself is going to fight you after some silly talk. Keep your [[Magic Sword]] equipped and charge it by holding ◻ button. Keep running around him in small circles and every time he stands on his back legs just give him all of your charged sword power. With plenty [[Life Bottle|life bottles]] to spare you will defeat him in no time and that's it my friends.
 
If you prefer some visual aid, here is the link to the video made by i CABAL i that uses the same tactics as described.

As you walk to the house, do not fall down into the void as
that will drain your life meter.
 
To the left is a MERCHANT GARGOYLE. Feel free to stock up
on everything. To the right is a GARGOYLE. When you are
ready, enter the building.
 
After you enter, you find a chest on either side of you. One
has a SILVER SHIELD. The other has GOOD LIGHTNING. It cannot
be powered up. As you use Good Lightning, it will drain your
health.
 
If Dan's health could use some work, walk around the outer
edge of the room until you find a FOUNTAIN. This Fountain
will not be there if Dan has at least four, full life
bottles above the life meter. I would suggest using the
Fountain up now, if possible. Using a Fountain in the middle
of battle is a bit tricky. (I would more strongly suggest
you come to this area with full health so this isn't an
issue.)
 
Walk into the center of the room to use the Chalice of
Souls. Then, your eight [[Knights of Gallowmere|skeleton warriors]] will all appear.
 
You need to use the Good Lighting to keep your skeletons
alive. When they are bright green, they are in good health.
Their color will change as they are hurt with red being just
before they are totally destroyed. Run around and try to
keep them all alive. You cannot defeat Zarok's warriors.
Your skeletons must do it.
 
At the end of the battle, each one of your skeletons left
alive will leave behind an ENERGY VIAL. So, the most you can
have is eight Energy Vials.
 
Then, Zarok will send out Lord Kardok. Equip the Magic
Longbow. When he is riding slowly, you cannot harm him. You
have to wait until he gallops at you. Then, start using the
Magic Longbow. If you want to try to dodge, side to side
dodging and working your way in circles seems to help. I
prefer to just stand my ground and blast him with the Magic
Longbow until he is, once again, dead.
 
Zarok will appear to be fought. I prefer to do a lot of
running from him with him in view so I can see what he is
doing. Remember to use the Triangle while running to do the
Daring Dash for an extra burst of speed if needed. Keeping
the shield out certainly does not hurt as well. If he shoots
out poison, dodge forward and to the side to keep away from
it. If he starts a huge fireball attack, you should be able
to run and keep well ahead of it.
 
His underbelly is his weak point. So, you need to hit him
while that is exposed. This happens when he rears up to swat
at you. Start with the Spear. If you have any Magic Arrows
left, use the Magic Longbow next. Then, I prefer to switch
to the Magic Sword. If close fighting is too hard, then
continue with distance weapons. If distance fighting is
taking too long, feel free to use the Magic Sword earlier.
