Iblis is a boss encountered in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). He is fought in all three storylines of the game, where Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog fight Iblis' second form, while Silver the Hedgehog fights his first and third form.

Story[]

When Iblis surfaced in Crisis City, Silver and Blaze confronted him. Although they won the fight, they knew Iblis could just resurrect himself.

When looking for a Chaos Emerald in Flame Core to travel back to their original time frame, Sonic and Shadow were forced to fight off Iblis (who had adapted a worm-like form) when he attacked them.

After shattering the Flame of Disaster's core while inside the volcano, Silver and Blaze confronted Iblis, who was getting closer to his final form, again. After beating him, Blaze sacrificed herself to seal Iblis away in another dimension.

Boss guide[]

When the battle begins, the player must collect Rings and fast. There are four lines of Rings in the arena: two in the air near the center of the platform and two on the extreme edges. While getting the Rings, the player must use their PK to pick up the nearby debris and start hurling it at Iblis. The monster has a significant amount of armor made out of cooled molten earth. However, the armor falls away as repeated attacks are launched on Iblis, exposing his pure ๏ฌ‚ame interior. To make an accurate volley, Silver must be pointed directly at Iblis in order to ๏ฌ‚ing the debris at the beast. Iblis will raise his arms from time to time, blocking his face. When Iblis is guarding himself, the player must not waste time throwing any debris at him. The player must watch for when Iblis raises all four arms. As when Iblis exposes his chest, a torrent of molten rock explodes forth, peppering the platform. Some of the ๏ฌreballs actually remain on the ledge, though, which can be picked up with PK and ๏ฌ‚ing back at the beast. When Iblis lowers his upper arms into the lava, Iblis will pick up a skyscraper. The monster raises the building high above the platform before bringing it down, casting a large shadow. The player must then get out of the shadow to escape damage. The smashed building leaves behind debris that the player can use against Iblis. After much of Iblis's Health Gauge is depleted, the monster resorts to breathing ๏ฌre on the platform. The sweeping ๏ฌre attack cannot be de๏ฌ‚ected in any way, so head for the sides of the platform to avoid getting burned to a crisp. After that, the player must keep hurling debris at the titanic Iblis to bring him down.

Boss guide[]

Sonic/Shadow[]

When the battle begins, the player has a few seconds to seek out Rings on the stone platforms in the lava. (The platforms are really fallen stalactites that were shaken loose from the lava domeโ€™s ceiling.) Firstly, the player must collect some of the Rings for safety, but also leave some behind as a back-up supply should they get damaged. After the ๏ฌrst volley of ๏ฌreballs, Iblis sinks into the lava for a short time and then makes a large leap toward the player's location. So, the player must run away from the area of his impact or Sonic/Shadow will be damaged along the collapsed footholds. After that, he will bring down a batch of stalactites which creates a make-shift bridge to the three Purple orbs in the center of the chamber. When this happens, the player must make haste to the orbs, and avoid giving Iblis another opportunity to ๏ฌ‚ing more ๏ฌreballs at them. Then, the player should land a Homing Attack to slam into an orb and make it light up. The illumination stemming from the activated orb attracts Iblis, and the monster clumsily lunges for the orb with his pincers. If the player stands underneath the orb when Iblis arrives, they will be knocked off the platform. Therefore, after lighting the orb, the player should jump back one row of platforms to give the brute ample clearance to investigate the orb. When the wormโ€™s forehead eye opens up, jump forward and use a Homing Attack. If this is done correctly, this attack should result in a loss of one-quarter of the monsterโ€™s health, and launch Sonic/Shadow back to the chamberโ€™s far side, near where they started. If any Rings have been lost during the attack, pick up some replacements now. Iblis drops more stalactites into the lava after dealing the damage that was dealt to him, but these do not create a path to the orbs. These break the existing bridges. Jump back and forth around the remaining platforms to avoid the incoming blasts. Note that Iblis never creates the same path to the orbs, and sometimes only speci๏ฌc orbs will be available, such as the central one's. So, the player must use the available path to them in order to do damage to him, and through the same way. When Iblis has only a quarter of his health remaining, he changes his tactics. After lighting one of the orbs, the worm sinks into the lava, swims behind the platforms, and surfaces under the platforms. When Iblis surfaces, the player must use a Homing Attack to zero in on his green eye one last time, ending the battle.

If the player wants to earn a "S" Rank in this boss battle, they should do the following: Gather up some Rings and jump into the lava. Head to one of the orbs on the solid footholds and activate it during each time Iblis tries to sink into the lava. When Iblis is about to slam the activated orb, jump back off the orb quickly and do a Homing Attack at Iblis right after he has collided with the orb.

Iblis


Boss guide[]

When the battle begins, Iblis raises his arms to issue forth his initial salvo of ๏ฌreballs. Silver's platform is long enough to run to either extreme and avoid the volleys. The player should pick up Rings as they move. Several cooling balls of lava are sitting on the platform so the player can lift with PK and hurl them across the molten ocean to chip away at Iblisโ€™s armor. After the ๏ฌrst batch of cooling balls has been exhausted, the player must wait out Iblisโ€™s ๏ฌreball attacks to gather some projectiles to throw. Iblis's fireballs do not last for a long time, unlike their cooling variant, so the player has to use them as soon as they get them. If Iblis is building up an attack, do not throw at him as this raises the risk of hitting only one of Iblis' projectiles instead of the lava leviathan himself. After he withstands several of the attacks launched at him, Iblis moves in for the kill. While he is approaching the foothold, Iblis will unleash a series of shockwaves that speed across the lava toward Silverโ€™s platform. The player can either jump over or duck under the shockwaves as they roll into range. If the player is struck by a shockwave, they will lose Rings, and there is a good chance the ripple will wash them right off the platform. After reaching the foothold, the living ๏ฌ‚ame will slam his arms down on the platform, shattering the edges and making it smaller. The player can avoid the shockwaves made by this impact by Levitating as high as possible over the foothold. When he lowers his head, the player can spy his weak spot: the green eye in the middle of his forehead. A PK mark appears on the eye, signaling that it is now the chance to attack. When this happens, the player should Levitate over to Iblis' head and stand on the marker, and then unleash a blast of PK to damage the living ๏ฌ‚ame, forcing him to recoil back across the sea of lava. While he is falling back, several cooling fireballs rise to the foothold which can be used to attack him more. After having half of his Health Gauge depleted, Iblis will raise his arms and conjures up a massive lava sphere. The player will have just a few seconds to watch Iblis gather up the lava before he catapults the sphere across the foothold. When the lava sphere is almost upon the foothold, use PK to take control of it, just like a normal ๏ฌreball. Still facing Iblis, throw the sphere back to deal damage to him. If the player misses the sphere as it descends on the platform, the sphere will destroy a great part of the foothold and cause damage to Silver.

If the player has not managed to defeat Iblis after the lava sphere attack yet, he will go into approaching the foothold in order to break another part of it again. The Shockwaves that he sends during his approach are more and at a faster rate this time. But, other than that, the rest of the fight works the same as before.

Trivia[]

  • Although Iblis appears in different forms, he is the only boss who is fought in all three storylines.
  • In the leaked script of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), there was going to be a Town Mission in Silver's story named "Get info on Mephiles" just before he sealed Iblis.
