Crash the Halfling party by going through the gate to the left of the entrance to the Halfling Homes. You need to kill the fiddle player by targeting him with LT and striking him with your ax A or a fire spell X. Once he's dead, kill the rest of the Halflings. You'll need to find two wheel spokes to go through to door to follow Melvin. The first is up the hill on your right past a number of spawning Halfling holes. Go back down the hill, turn right, and go up a small set of stairs. The second spoke is on a wooden platform near a flaming hilltop. When the wheel is completed, use it to enter Melvin's Kitchen.

Once in the Kitchen's go left and turn the wheel to roast all the cooks. Go downstairs and turn the second wheel to open the door. Melvin is in the room at the end of this hallway. After you start the fight, you cant leave the room. The fight consists of two phases and both are straightforward. In the first part, hell stagger around the room swinging his scepter and occasionally jumping into the air and slamming down in a belly flop. For this phase, just send your minions and attack with your ax. When you see him begin to jiggle back and forth, thats the sign that hes about to jump. Back up and call your minions back to you, so they arent killed by the flop.

After youve taken off half of his health, the second phase of the fight will begin. In this part, hell roll around the room like a giant, flabby ball occasionally slamming into the wall. If youre careful and are willing to take it slowly, you can take him down without losing a single minion. Avoid him until he hits the wall and stops. Post your minions out of the way, lock onto him with LT, get behind him, and hit him with your ax. Hell continually try to turn around so he can start rolling directly at you. As long as you stay locked onto him and keep moving to stay behind him, hell just spin in place and wont roll anymore. After a few minutes of melee attacks, a brief cut scene will reward you. Strike him one more time as hes lying on the floor and hell explode.
