In the "Split Novel" notebook side plot, Demon is one of the three optional boss battles. Unlike crabs and ducks, Demons are the most aggressive bosses among them, which mixes ranged trident attacks and air movements to keep players on their guard all the time.

This guide will break down in detail how to defeat the demon, including its attack mode and the best strategy to avoid damage while defeating it.

Choose Demon Fight

As the notebook branch plot is approaching, the player will reach the gate where a captured prince is imprisoned. Here you can select your boss battle from three options:

• Demon (a flying one-eyed monster who throws tridents).
• Crabs (Landing underground and launching water balls).
• Duck (flying around and throwing eggs).

If you choose the demon first, prepare for a ranged battle centered on dodging and repositioning.

Detailed explanation of the Demon Boss Battle

The devil has three main attack methods:

1. Trident volley

• The devil circled in the air, throwing multiple tridents in a straight line.
• How to dodge: Run sideways or jump between attack gaps.

2. Ground slam

• The devil leaps high and then slams the ground to create a small shock wave.
• How to dodge: Jump before impact to avoid being stunned.

3. Energy ball

• The demon spins and releases the energy ball that tracks the player.
• How to dodge: Continue to move around the circle, because the energy ball takes one second to lock the target.

Best strategy for winning

• Keep Moving – The demon has a large attack range, so staying still makes you an easy target.
• Use ranged attack – Since it stays in the air, melee weapons are not effective. If available, use a bow or nunchaku.
• Note the attack signs – The demon raises his arms before throwing a trident and circles for a second before slamming the ground.

When you deal enough damage, the battle ends early, and you have to select the second boss from the remaining two options.

Summarize

The Demon in "Split Novel" is a fast-moving, ranged attack-based boss that forces players to stay moving. Dodging its trident and energy ball is the key to survival. While it's not the hardest boss in the game, it's the most aggressive boss in notebook battles, making it an interesting challenge before rescuing the prince and completing the side plot.
