Title: *SPOILERS* How can I kill the 6-eyed beaming octopus in the Cathedral?
Post by: Mavor on December 13, 2007, 11:05:27 pm: Can someone please tell me how to kill that 6-eyed beaming freak at the Cathedral....I know I have to shoot the underbelly where he keeps popping out kids to hurt him but he never seems to die and I die :( Thanks

If you're not already doing it, lock on to the part you're targeting, so you can focus more on staying alive and less on aiming.

A spicy roll (after the vulnerable bits are exposed) will also help tremendously, just keep in mind that there is more than one of these monsters and they're not even toughest enemies around.

Post by: blackzeroflame on December 14, 2007, 03:38:53 am: a better way is if you go and get the nature form first (i don't know why i did that, i just like to explore a lot) then you can use it's charged attack to kill it almost instantly. This actually works on almost any boss too

Post by: smjjames on December 14, 2007, 04:18:32 am: I was able to beat them pretty well with just the Energy form. I pretty much just went in a circle around him and kept firing while trying to keep the... thing... on his bottom in sight. It does help to clear out the room of other enemies first though.

I did defeat all three minibosses, but I'm waiting a while before I go after the Mithalas god, maybe stock up on healing items. ATM though I'm sort of exploring around further.

yeah, bring a lotta healing items for that one, he's one of the tougher ones

Post by: smjjames on December 14, 2007, 04:51:09 am: yea, I'm trying to find info about which ones of the recipies I have so far are the best healing items and what ingredients I need. Wish the recipie index told what the effects were.

Post by: Mavor on December 14, 2007, 05:27:09 am: The Mithalas one-horned dragon is a problem...I may have to explore more and come back for him later

Post by: smjjames on December 14, 2007, 05:57:03 am: only problem though is that you need beast form to really move firther.

Post by: Zeno on December 14, 2007, 08:03:10 am: You can get Nature Form before finishing the Cathedral, though it's not all that much of a help.

Yeah, the boss really only has one strategy for beating it, so you can't just make it easier by dealing more damage

Post by: dhakkel on December 14, 2007, 01:41:22 pm: The only reason to go and get Nature Form first is you can stock up on healing items in the forest and get more used to the controls than if you went straight to Mithalas from Home Waters.
