Well, since this has been bumped I might as well get some help on a boss...
I'm on my second playthrough (my first was a 100% playthough) and I swear that Octopus Prime is by far the most difficult boss in the game. I know *how* to beat him, but I hardly ever get a chance because I'm constantly being hit due to the incredibly cramped arena and I run out of healing food incredibly quickly. Having to constantly retreat, switch to sun form, charge, and then go back to get rid of the darkness is pretty annoying too.
Are there any good strategies for this guy?
