Upon returning to Monstro Town with a Shiny Stone in his possession, Mario attempts to open the sealed door, causing the small crystal to begin reacting, eventually dispelling the magical seal. The door can now be opened, allowing Mario and company to access Culex in his dimensional vortex. After Mario enters the dimensional rift, Culex greets the visitors and explains his story. The Dark Knight then challenges Mario, who Culex views to have the potential to be the world's "strongest knight," to a battle before he had to leave for his home dimension of Vanda. The plumber can either accept or refuse Culex's offer. If Mario refuses, Culex says, "You are wise to hesitate. Without any [[List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|weapon]] or [[Armor (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|armor]], you have no chance." Mario is then forced to leave the dimensional rift, but can return as he desired at a later time. If Mario accepts the challenge, Culex declares "En garde!" and the battle begins. | Upon returning to Monstro Town with a Shiny Stone in his possession, Mario attempts to open the sealed door, causing the small crystal to begin reacting, eventually dispelling the magical seal.

In battle, Culex is aided by four seemingly sentient crystals – the [[Elemental Crystals#Earth Crystal|Earth Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals#Fire Crystal|Fire Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals#Water Crystal|Water Crystal]], and the [[Elemental Crystals#Wind Crystal|Wind Crystal]]. Each crystal has command over potent magic attacks aligned with their elemental power (for example, the Earth Crystal knows the special attack [[Boulder (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Boulder]], which can damage Mario and both his allies in one strike). Culex himself is a powerful fighter, who has over 4,000 [[Heart Point|HP]], the most of any character in the game besides the final form of the final boss [[Smithy]]. | In battle, Culex is aided by four seemingly sentient crystals – the [[Elemental Crystals#Earth Crystal|Earth Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals#Fire Crystal|Fire Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals#Water Crystal|Water Crystal]], and the [[Elemental Crystals#Wind Crystal|Wind Crystal]].

Culex himself is a powerful fighter, who has over 4,000 [[Heart Point|HP]], the most of any character in the game besides the final form of the final boss [[Smithy]]. However, the group as a whole have over 12,000 HP, which is higher than that of both of Smithy's forms combined. The Dark Knight is also a master of advanced magic such as [[Shredder]], [[Meteor Blast]], [[Flame Stone]], and [[Dark Star (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Dark Star]]. All four Crystals can be defeated independently before targeting Culex, but if Culex is defeated, any remaining Crystals shatter one by one on their next turn. | ||
If Mario is victorious against Culex and his four Crystals, the Dark Knight congratulates the world's "strongest knight." Culex is then able to return to Vanda satisfied, but before he departs, he tells Mario: "Thank you, brave knight. I will treasure this memento of my journey here. Perhaps in another time, another game, we may have been enemies... Let us part as comrades in arms." The Dark Knight then rewards Mario with the [[Accessories|Quartz Charm]], a special accessory that boosts attack and defense by 50% and also prevents [[instant death]]. Culex requests the plumber to "treasure it as a keepsake of their fight." Culex then leaves for Vanda, uttering the words "Farewell, champion knight!" Mario and company are transported back to Monstro Town and the door to Culex's dimensional rift disappears, leaving a solid rock wall in its place. Also when Culex is defeated, the Piranha Plant next door will comment that he thinks "our neighbor moved away". | If Mario is victorious against Culex and his four Crystals, the Dark Knight congratulates the world's "strongest knight."
