Boss Fight: Basilisk, Phase One
The first fight against the Basilisk is fairly easy. Get up close to the mouth and start hitting it with your attacks. The Basilisk has two attacks of its own here. It will often rear back and then snap forward for two quick chomps of its teeth; you can block this attack with your left analog stick. It will also periodically fling fireballs at you, which you can dodge with the dodge mechanic. Unfortunately, the loss of the second analog stick on the PSP will force you to dodge by holding down both the left and right shoulder buttons and then moving the analog stick to one side. It's a bit complicated, and not particularly easy to do if you're holding the PSP, so you may want to find a flat surface to rest it on while you play the game.
At any rate, if you use your normal attacks on the Basilisk while dodging or blocking its attacks, you will eventually wear down the Basilisk so that it only has a third of its health bar left or so. When that occurs, you'll be able to start the minigame to finish this first mini boss fight. Tap the buttons that pop up to wound the Basilisk, then use the minotaur's club to put out its eye. It'll move off, forcing you to follow it.
After the Basilisk goes down, follow it out onto the beach nearby. You can destroy the small barricades scattered around this area for more orbs, but your goal is to push the battering ram up to the next door. Nothing too complicated here; it only moves in one direction. One thing to keep in mind here are the presence of the falling ballista bolts. You can see where they fall if you keep an eye on the ground, but keep in mind that they can hurt you even if you stand outside the radius that shows on the ground.
Before smashing the gate, keep in mind that there is a Red Orb Chest to the right of it and another chest atop a platform near the save point that has a Gorgon Eye inside of it.
