💭 (I don't know what this Dream Eater thing is, but I like talking to you about Gundam)
Thanks! I also have fun talking gundam with you lol. This guy is technically not a Dream Eater, but rather their counterpart; a Nightmare. However! the pun was too good!
This guy's called the Char Clawbster. And yes, he's red enough that he can go fairly fast.
Beat Chill Clawbster, they said. It'll be easier than Riku's battle, they said.
Warning: Boss Battle spoilers, but no plot spoilers.
I was able to go completely through Prankster's Paradise and The Grid as Riku while I was stuck trying to beat the stupid Chill Clawbster for Sora. I killed the Char Clawbster as Riku in about 5 minutes on my first try and everyone said it was difficult. Then they said that Sora's battle was easier and I really struggled with it.
Not only did Chill Clawbster occasionally completely heal itself, but my fighting style is to bide my time and watch and wait for openings and the drop system doesn't work with that strategy style. Once I stocked up on Drop-Me-Nots, it was easier, but still frustrating.
Then I would try to link with my Dream Eaters and wouldn't be able to hit him at all 'cause I couldn't get past his stupid claws.
That was also the worst battle arena I've ever had the misfortune to fight in. Half the time I didn't know where I was. If I locked on to Chill Clawbster, my camera would freak out and move in weird angles until I didn't know which way was up. But if I didn't lock on, it would often be minutes before I could land another hit.
All-in-all, a very frustrating battle and I'm glad I don't have to do it again. I was even at level 22 when fighting him!
