Before going for this achievement, it is HIGHLY recommended that you get the reward for doing the Tim of Legend achievement, as it will help tremendously with getting around the stages faster and without taking damage.If you’ve ever wondered why there aren’t demos for every game, look no further than Balan Wonderworld. To find this enemy, you need to be in Hard Mode. You enter Hard Mode by killing a bunch of enemies without taking any damage (from any source) - the best place to do this I think is 6-2. Run in circles killing enemies (Pumpkin Puncher is a good costume for this) until enemies start appearing red. These red enemies mean you are now in Hard Mode, and when you finish the level you will receive a red stamp instead of a gold one. Once in Hard Mode, the Lanced Endlessli will appear as the mini-boss in either 1-2 or 6-2. If you have already spawned or defeated the mini-bosses in those chapters before entering Hard Mode, you will have to defeat that chapter's main boss to reset the levels. When spawning, the mini-boss will either be red or purple - you want the purple one. If the red one spawns, IMMEDIATELY quit to console, DO NOT return to the Isle of Tims or you will have to reset the level again by beating the chapter's main boss. Quitting to console will allow you to keep trying. I don't know how rare the spawn is - I got a LOT of red enemies before the Lanced versions showed up (except for Multipli).

I think killing regular enemies in the level helps but this is pure speculation and hasn't been confirmed.Īs a final tip, if you get hit during the Lanced fight and you still have other Lanced enemies to fight, finish the fight, then when the achievement pops you can quit to console and keep your Hard Mode status.Balan is a tall, lean humanoid figure with big, bright yellow eyes that rest upon his hat's hat band, and black skin with a wide grin on his face.

Balan also has teal, dreadlock-like hair which can appear green in certain shots. He wears a white, red, purple, and gold magician's shirt with a red ascot and a navy vest, a white top hat that has a red mask-like hat band, long, white trousers with red accents and gold and navy trim/hues and white low heeled shoes. He also wears white gloves with gold, ring-like accents and frilly red cuffs. His true, hatless form, which he assumes at the climax of the game, is a humanoid being that greatly resembles Lance. He wears the same outfit and still has bright yellow eyes, but they are much more human-like and have lavender-colored markings which could be compared to clown makeup. His teal hair is more human-like as well, being chin length and slightly neater compared to his false form. He also lacks the grinning mouth that his false form had and has chalk white skin, much like Lance in his true form.īalan is sometimes unpredictable, humorous, graceful, mysterious, and never tires of his audience. In the novel, " Balan Wonderworld ~Maestro of Mystery, Theatre of Wonders~", we see that Balan is flamboyant and energetic, but hates repeating himself and tends to get annoyed when many questions are asked of him. Despite his outwardly fantastical and showman-like personality, the maestro has a much gentler side to him as well. When the Inhabitants' monstrous boss forms are defeated and they open their hearts to Leo and Balan, the latter always consoles or comforts the person in need. However, he does not blind them to the truth, and tells them what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear. Balan also holds strongly to his beliefs, as he adamantly refuses the idea that he could be corrupted by negativity. And most obvious of them all, Balan is very dramatic.

There is not much known about Balan's abilities in specific, but we can see a multitude of his talents in the game's opening cutscene.
