Arich hangs from a thread of web, and to defeat him, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must throw [[Barrel]]s at his jaw. Arich's attacks consist of bouncing slowly up and down in an attempt to crush the [[Kong]]s and shooting bouncing green balls of venom. He must be hit in the jaw four times to be defeated.

It's easier to hit Arich with Dixie because she holds the barrel over her head with her ponytail.


Once Arich is defeated, he drops a [[Patch (item)|Patch]], which the Kongs must bring to [[Funky Kong]], so that he can fix up his [[Hover Craft]] for them to use.

Arich returned in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' as the boss of the third area, [[Blackforest Plateau]], in '''Arich Attack'''. Arich's size was greatly reduced for this version, although the boss fight is similar to the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' battle, minus the barrels. First, Arich releases three balls of venom. The Kongs must jump on his head, causing him to bounce around at a much faster rate to try and crush them. After four hits to the head, Arich is defeated.

*In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Arich has a different battle theme than the other bosses. He shares this theme with [[Kroctopus]]. For some reason, both K. Rool battles use the same battle theme as the other bosses.
