Tips for Boss Mission[]
The Lantern Sheep boss mission is very difficult and requires many attempts to complete. The player is faced with a stage requiring the player to navigate a Lantern Sheep through sections of barrages from drop bears and several packs of sheep. To avoid the drop bears, the player can try to start close to the trees before moving away quickly as the drop bear jumps. The player can push other sheep in the stampede that are in the way, meaning they only have to watch out for the drop bears.
