BOSS (Form 1): Meteor Parasite
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Strength: 55+
- Defense: 65+
- Magic: 40+
- Memories: 80+
- Required Spells: Fira/Firaga, Blizzara/Blizzaga, Cure, Clear.
- Recommended Items: Phoenix Downs.
- Vulnerable Spot: A small, swinging tentacle.
- Ineffective Spells: Slow, Stop, Gravity, Holy.
Phases:
- Form 1: Meteor Parasite with two Tentacles on each side of the arena.
Strategy:
- The Meteor Parasite's vulnerable spot is a small, swinging tentacle.
- Form 1 attacks:
- Poison spell: Medium radius, requires moving out of the way.
- Body slam: Causes serious damage if defense is not high.
- The spinning larva-like things surrounding the Parasite can poison you if touched. Do not get too close.
- Use your weapon or magic for damage. Long-range focus attacks are good, but charging can be interrupted.
- Level three magic (Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga) is recommended for this form.
- The two Tentacles on the sides of the arena are crucial:
- Left Tentacle: Spits poison/ice.
- Right Tentacle: Spits fire.
- Ignoring the Tentacles guarantees instant death.
- Do not defeat both Tentacles simultaneously as they respawn quickly (about 60 seconds).
- Focus on defeating the Right Tentacle first with Blizzara (approx. 6 hits). Blizzara can freeze it, preventing attacks.
- Once the Right Tentacle is down, attack the Meteor Parasite with magic or weapons. Both may only do 1 damage per hit (450 HP total).
- When the Right Tentacle respawns, heal, use Clear, and defeat it again.
- Continue attacking the Meteor Parasite.
- Ignore the Left Tentacle.
- NEVER attack the Parasite when both Tentacles are active.
- Inflict 150 points of damage to trigger Form 2.
BOSS (Form 2): Meteor Parasite
Phases:
- Form 2: Lower level arena, larger area. Tentacles are farther apart.
Strategy:
- Form 2 attacks:
- Hell's Little Pink Circle of Death (TM): Medium radius explosion, can hit anywhere. Appears about a second after a small sound cue. Cannot be blocked, interrupts magic charging, and can knock you down. Avoid this at all costs.
- Second attack: Rarely used, easy to avoid.
- The Tentacles are farther apart, making it easier to manage one while dealing with the other.
- Try to minimize hits from Hell's Little Pink Circle of Death (TM).
