BOSSES - Monstro

Parasite Cage 1

Place	HP	EXP
Bowels (B.R.)	450	500
Bowels (A.R.)	750	800

Preparation: Aero, Cure... yadda yadda... what? Oh, yes. Air combo plus and other combo abilities are good to have here. Thunder works best against the cage.

Defense: Invincible from behind, you must attack the Cage from the front, or better, from the side just underneath one of the arms.

Strategy: Your best bet is to whack at this monster by jump attacks. If you get in a critical hit, you have a good chance of stunning it and giving yourself an opportunity to get HP and MP balls to recover. Riku doesn't help much, and though Donald and Goofy are useful, they may end up getting knocked out pretty quickly by the swinging arms. That's the deal. Jump and attack, and if you're lucky you can block the arm attack. If you want to use magic, go with Thunder or Fire, but Thunder works best.

Parasite Cage 2

Place	HP	EXP
Stomach (B.R.)	900	1000
Stomach (A.R.)	1500	2000

Preparation: By now you should have High Jump, and this'll help you jumping and avoiding arm attacks. Aero, as usual, Cure, and Thunder for the shortcuts. Dodge Roll isn't really going to help here because the arena itself is pretty dangerous and small.

Defense: The Parasite Cage returns, stronger with more HP and new attacks. One of them is a poison breath attack, which you don't want to get hit with because your HP will deplete slowly for a short while. Again, it is only vulnerable in front and on the sides, as well as the purple half sphere inside it (in place of Pinocchio.)

Strategy: The Cage has two new attacks, one of them a poison breath attack and the other a body attack. Both of them have serious damage potential, and both of them are focused mainly to its front. If you want, you can jump along the ledges and try to jump towards it to attack. Your better bet is to stay close beside it on the side as before and whack away. If you want, you can try to stun it by attacking the upper body. When it gets knocked back, the Cage sags back and reveals the purple orb inside. Hitting this will knock HP balls out which can help you replenish HP. Don't get too confident when fighting the cage. You don't want to get knocked onto the glowing gastric juices of the stomach floor either, or else you will get hurt just standing on it. Either stand on the ledges, or try to stay on the platform beside the cage. Keep at it, and make sure to get away to heal yourself or recast Aero if you need to.
