Missile shells are shot by [[Barbos]], after which they begin chasing the player. A while afterwards, they stop in place to home into the character, then shoot straight towards him before hitting a wall or a [[Lurchin]]. [[Enguarde]] cannot attack the missile shells, as he will get hurt if he tries to do so. Enguarde must lure them at the Lurchins that protect Barbos, leaving Barbos open to direct attacks from Enguarde.
