During the boss fight, Arich is hanging from a thread of web, and to attack it, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must ram a [[Barrel]] into its jaw. Arich's attacks consist of bouncing up and down slowly in an attempt to crush the [[Kong]]s, and by spitting out bouncing green balls of venom. Arich is defeated when the Kongs hit its jaw four times. Upon being defeated, Arich falls over onto its back and drops the [[patch (item)|patch]], which [[Funky Kong]] uses to construct the [[Hover Craft]] at [[Funky's Rentals]]. | During the boss fight, Arich is hanging from a thread of web, and to attack it, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must ram a [[Barrel]] into its jaw.
