Phase I - Terra
This fight is one of the toughest in the game. The Armor of Eraqus is the remnant of Master Eraqus and fights with incredible ferocity. Its stats are a bit mysterious, with Strength and Defense listed as '??', but its 1500 HP and immunity to all status effects mean you'll need a solid strategy. It doesn't seem to have any elemental weaknesses, so raw damage is key.
Strategy for Armor of Eraqus:
- Stay mobile! The Armor of Eraqus has powerful, sweeping attacks. Use Air Slide and Dodge Roll constantly to avoid damage.
- Look for openings after its combo attacks. It often leaves itself vulnerable for a brief moment.
- Consider using your most powerful Keyblade abilities and magic. Since there are no elemental weaknesses, focus on maximizing your damage output.
- Don't get discouraged. This boss is designed to be a wall. It might take a few tries to learn its patterns and find the rhythm for dodging and attacking.
There's also a brief mention of fighting within Monstro's stomach. If you get swallowed, use commands like 'Magic Hour' to avoid damage and start an assault. Monstro can also launch himself, giving you a chance to hit him with a barrel to potentially daze him. Be aware that each time you're swallowed, the stomach acid increases, reducing your safe fighting space. His final attack is a vacuum move; Air Slide away or hit a barrel in the vacuum to damage him.
