Game information

Battle

King Midas is encountered at the end of level 1-2, appearing as a slow walking gold coloured man. His only attack is to turn characters (enemies, player, animals) to gold statues. Due to all weapons requiring the player to get close to their victim, the player can only harm Midas by chucking the statues of his victims.

If the player gets to close to Midas, or attempts to attack him with handheld weaponry (minus rocks), Midas will turn the player to a gold statue. Gold statues of his victims are encountered throughout level 1-2, indicating Midas walked this path through the forest.

Lore

According to some of the enemies, he went mad with his golden touch power and started turning everything to gold, including people and animals.

Quotes

Trivia

• In Greek mythology, King Midas had the ability to turn things to gold. He wasn't actually golden or made of gold. This was probably added to illustrate his love of gold.
