I: Introduction
/_/¯/_/¯/_/¯/_/
Hello, I'm _HUNK, and welcome to the Dark Cloud 2 Boss FAQ. This is
currently my first one, but I'll try to sound as professional as possible.
This will cover all bosses, including some optional bosses in the entirely
extra chapter in the game. I haven't played the first Dark Cloud, but when I
picked this one up, I was hooked. It's a great game, and since bosses are my
favorite part of a game, I thought, "why not?", and I decided to make a Boss
FAQ. Well, that's enough of me yapping, let's go to the FAQ!

Name: Linda
Location: Underground Channel (Room #4)
HP: 400
Attack: 13
Defense: 15
Strategy:
You'll be in a tough situation when it's Max and Linda one on one.
Start whacking it with the wrench. It won't deal any damage, but have not
fear: help will soon arrive. Your Ridepod arrives, so hop in. This is the
only way to hurt Linda, so stay in it at all times. The best way to hurt
Linda is to get behind and smash her with the Ridepod fists. You should be
able to get a couple of hits before she swings her trunk around. Dodge her
attack by backing up, then repeat the process until the pachyderm is down for
the count.
""SCOOP!"" Brave Little Linda
In order to get this scoop, you must get a picture of Linda while
stomping. Rush forward, and when she rears back, back up and take a picture
of her stomping her feet on the ground. It's not too hard to get, but it may
take a couple of tries if you're a beginner.

Name: Halloween
Location: Underground Channel (Room #7)
HP: 256
Attack: 20
Defense: 1
Strategy:
This boss is somewhat easy, but really fun too. halloween shoots his
nose off (weird...) and it exploes after a couple of seconds. Right after he
shoots it at you and it hits the ground, pick it up and throw it back at the
menacing machine. He'll fall, so close in and hit him with your wrench. If
you're in a hurry, switch to the Ridepod to kill him much quicker. After a
couple of hits, Halloween will get up and start attacking again. He shoots
missiles at you, so easily dodge them. Sometimes Flotsam Balloons spawn on
the battlefield. If you have a craving for ABS, kill the minor enemies,
collect the ABS, and resume fighting the big guy. He will shoot off his nose
again, so throw it back at him again and start attacking. Keep this up, and
he will bite the dust.
""SCOOP!"" Clown Robo's Attack
This scoop is pretty tough. You must take a picture of Halloween
while it's firing a missile out of its eye. Stand far back, and when its eye
opens up, quickly take out your camera and snap a shot before the missile
fires and hits you. Just make sure you're quick enough, because if you get
hit by the missile, you will have to try again and will have to risk dying.

Name: P-3000
Location: Train
HP: N/A (3 hits to defeat him)
Attack: N/A
Defense: N/A
Strategy:
This guy is a weird boss. It doesn't really have any stats, because
it doesn't even attack you, and no matter what, 3 bombs will kill P-3000.
It's pretty easy too. The top meter on the screen (green) is the train's
health. The bolltom one (yellow) is P-3000's health. You must stop the raging
vehicle from destroying the train. If the train is destroyed, you lose.
Cedric supplies you with enough bombs to take him out, but that doesn't mean
you should take your time. Once you hit the car with one bomb, it will jump
to the other side of the train. Keep chucking bombs at it, and if you hit it
a second time, it will jump back to the other side. Hit it for a third time
with a bomb to destroy it and save the train.

Name: Rainbow Butterfly
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Wood (Room #11)
HP: N/A
Attack: N/A
Defense: N/A
Strategy:
Yeah, another boss with no stats. This isn't even really a boss, but
I added him in anyway. First, dodge the butterfly's beam attacks and orbs.
Did you notice the tentables in the center of the flower? Well, hit all of
them, and but big butterfly will split into 7 butterflies with each one
representing the color of the rainbow. Now the tricky part is that you have
to hit them in a certain order. The order to hit them is:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Indigo
Violet
As soon as you hit one with Max's gun or Monica's magic, they automatically
shoot you, so guard right after using your weapon. It's easier if you use the
Ridepod, because you are moving as you are attacking. Once all 7 butterflies
are hit in the correct order, you win the fight. You will recieve a Teal
Envelope for the (easy) battle.
""SCOOP!"" Rainbow Butterfly United
This one is a toughie. You must snap a picture of the big butterfly
as soon as the little ones unite together. It's a quick process from when
they unite to when the battle ends, so act very quick. If you happen to miss
the shot, restart the battle. It wasn't too tough, so replaying the battle
shouldn't kill you.

Name: Memo-Eater
Location: Starlight Canyon (Room #9)
HP: 450
Attack: 37
Defense: 30
Strategy:
A giant tapir that spits poisonous liquid at you: HOW FUN! But
really, this boss is just so cool, I love this guy! Too bad he's so easy.
Just make sure to keep your distance. He has devastating short-range attacks,
so stay away from him. He spits poison if you do keep your distance, but it's
easy to dodge; just move left or right. Use your gun or magic to fend off the
big guy. Ridepod also works well if you've spent time in upgrading it. He
should go down pretty quickly without a problem.
""SCOOP!"" Phantom Memo-Eater
This one is easy, as you just have to take a picture of the massive
beast. No special pose or attack, so you can mess around with it and try to
make your picture good. There shouldn't be a problem here.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)

_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Gaspard
Location: Starlight Canyon (Room #14)
HP: 1500
Attack: 44
Defense: 25
Strategy:
Despite Gaspard's high health, he isn't too hard. Once the battle
starts, you will be in control of Monica. He likes to attack a lot, so guard
a lot in this battle. Keep striking him when the time is right, and then
guard right after. Gaspard can flip over you, so lock on and guard before he
slashes you. Once you have dealt enough damage to Gaspard, you will control
Max. Evil Flames will come forth and start hovering towards Lin, who is in
the center of the arena. Kill the Evil Flames and make sure that they don't
reach Lin, or she's dead and the game ends. Make sure you have enough time to
take a picture of the snapshot of the battleship. Once you've defeated the
flames, you will take control of Monica once again. As Monica, repeat the
same strategy that you used before when you faced Gaspard. Guard, then hit
him once or twice, then guard again. Keep hacking away until Gaspard is
defeated.
""SCOOP!"" Flying Battleship
This is a one time picture, and since you are Max for a short time in
the battle, don't forget about it. Once you take control of Max, pull out
your camera and snap a photo of the ship that Monica is on, and do it quickly
before the Evil Flames reach Lin.

Name: Shingala
Location: Ocean's Roar Cave (Room #9)
HP: 1000
Attack: 63
Defense: 0
Strategy:
You don't really kill/defeat Shingala, but you just have to toss a
fish in it's mouth. But not any normal fish: an ELECTRIFIED fish! Woooo!!!
Yeah, it's easy too. Once you feed a fish in your aquarium with an electric
worm, the fish becomes electrified. Keep away from the serpent. It swings
it's neck around and tries to hit you, but if you're far enough away, it's
not a problem. Shingala also sprays some type of mist at you. Easily dodge it
and shoot it with your gun. Once Shingala is hit enough times, it will open
its mouth. Once that happens, pick up the fish and throw it in Shingala's
mouth to end the battle.
""SCOOP!" Puppet Shingala
At some point of the battle, take a normal picture of Shingala being
taken control of the head device. No special pose or anything, just a normal
snapshot. Easy.

Name: Dr. Jaming
Location: Ocean's Roar Cave (Room #16)
HP: 280
Attack: 4
Defense: 0
Strategy:
Whoah. Low health, low attack, and no defense? You're probably
thinking that he's really easy, but well, he is. >_> The batlte is also
pretty fun though. The catch is that you can't hurt him, but the Shigura can.
Dr. Jaming hovers around in a vehicle high up in the air. There are 2 or 3
controlled Shiguras on the arena, and they form a circle around you. As Dr.
Jaming hovers around in a circle, the Shigura try to smash you with their
head. If they hit or miss, their heads stay near the ground for a couple of
seconds. If you hit the Shigura's head, it will spring up. The strategy for
this battle is to time your hits, so when Dr. Jaming is right above the
lowered Shigura, hit it's head, so it springs up and collides with the
madman. Reuse this process of attack until jaming is finished.
""SCOOP!"" Dr. Jaming
This is another easy scoop. As you are in the battle, aim your camera
up and take a snapshot of Jaming. Just make sure to keep away from the
Shigura so they don't attack you while you're trying to get a picture.

Name: Death Ark
Location: Mr. Gundor (Room #12)
HP: 6500
Attack: 6
Defense: 30
Strategy:
This ship may look familiar to you; it's where you battled Gaspard in
Chapter 3. Now you have to destroy his ship! The ship appears once you
destroy the Fire Squall, and it immediately attacks you. This is a really
easy battle though, that is, if you have been leveling up your Ridepod. If
not, die and go train in the lower levels of the mountain. The Ridepod is the
only thing that can deal damage to the Death Ark. make sure you have a
projectile weapon equipped to your Ridepod, like the Nova Cannon. To easily
defeat this boss, keep strafing left and right as you pummel it with Ridepod
blasts. It may not even get a chance to hit you if you're dodging good
enough. Once the ship is destroyed, you may proceed to the crater.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)

_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Gaspard
Location: Mt. Gundor(Room #18)
HP: 2200
Attack: 68
Defense: 28
Strategy:
Looks like Gaspard isn't too happy about you destroying his precious
ship. Well, if he's dead, then he won't have any problems. That's where you
come in. He uses the same strategies and techniques like the last battle, so
it should be a cinch. If you tend to stray away from him, he launches
fireballs at you. Dodge or use Monica's Absorb Blade to unleash mit back at
Gaspard. Once he's defeated, he turns into a more powerful version. ZOMG
LORLZ!

Name: Ultimate Gaspard
Location: Mt. Gundor(Room #18)
HP: 3200
Attack: 81
Defense: 31
Strategy:
Well, he's still pretty easy, even in his super demon form. All he
does is throw fireballs at you and fly around. Easily dodge the projectiles
or Absorb them into Monica's sword. When Gaspard lands, attack him full
force, and if you want to end the battle quickly, use the Ridepod to deal
more damage. It really hits him where it hurts. He should be defeated in no
time.
""SCOOP!"" Ultimate Gaspard
Like the last 2 or so bosses, just easily take a picture of him. You
can make it look cool or whatever. I got a shot of him shooting fireballs at
me, but if you take my advice, be prepared to get hit. ^_^

Name: Emperor Griffon
Location: Moon Flower Palace (Foyer)
HP: 7800
Attack: 118
Defense: 22
Strategy:
You'll be fighting the big man, Emperor Griffon himself. No worries
though, he's not the boss of the game, but he is tougher than your previous
boss battles. For his first attack, the emperor throws 6 roses at you. Dodge
them, then counterattack with your left hand weapon. Max's wrench or Monica's
sword isn't a good weapon to use, for Emperor Griffon moves very fast. He
also has a power attack just like you. When he charges towards you and gets
close, that's your sign to get out of there before he hits you. It's a
devestating attack that will really hurt you if hit by it. You should do a
lot of strafing in this battle, and the fight itself will take a bit longer
than other battles. Keep on your toes and take the little dude out.
""SCOOP!"" Griffon's Real Face
Anytime during your encounter with the emperor, take a picture of his
face to get this one time scoop. Really easy.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)

_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Trentos
Location: Rainbow Butterfly Wood (Star Path)
HP: 1400
Attack: 78
Defense: 60
Strategy:
This guy is just like a Tore. You can fight it using the same tactics
as you would with a normal Tore. idepod works really well against this
massive treefolk, but he's more of a miniboss, as are the other guardians of
the gems. You should take Trentos out rather quickly.
""SCOOP!"" Earth Gem Altar
After the battle ends, take a picture of the altar that the Earth Gem
sits upon before you pick it up.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Lapis Garter
Location: Starlight Canyon (Star Path)
HP: 1600
Attack: 20
Defense: 1
Strategy:
I must say, this guy is even easier then Trentos, which is pretty
pitiful if you ask me. When it extends his fists, use a backflip to evade the
attack, because you will take damage if you guard. You won't take damage if
you guard against its spinning attack though. Use the Ridepod and stay away
from the mechanical monster, and blast away until it's history.
""SCOOP!"" Wind Gem Altar
Once the battle is over, take a snapshot of the stone altar that the
gem rests on.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)

(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Sea Dragon
Location: Ocean's Roar Cave (Star Path)
HP: 1800
Attack: 115
Defense: 60
Strategy:
This guy is really annoying, as are the serpent that you faced in the
previous levels here. It moves really quickly, so use the Ridepod and fast
feet like the Buggy. If you use the Nova Cannon, blast it repeatedly until
the slimy fiend perishes.
""SCOOP!"" Water Gem Altar
Easily take a picture of the Water Gem altar once the battle is over.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Inferno
Location: Mr. Gundor (Star Path)
HP: 1800
Attack: 98
Defense: 64
Strategy:
Inferno is actually the easiest, that is, if you like to be cheap. If
you want to fight him normally, use the Ridepod and blast him to kingdom
come. If you're a cheap bastard like me (proud of it), use a power attack. It
will knock Inferno to the ground. Once he get's up, do it again. Keep using
power attacks until he dies.
""SCOOP!"" Fire Gem Altar
Take a picture of the final gem altar; the Fire Gem Altar. Take a
photo and grab it, and head out to Moon Flower Palace.
(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)¯¯¯¯¯¯¯(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯)

(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Emperor Griffon
Location: Moon Flower Palace (Room #20)
HP: 33000
Attack: 154
Defense: 24
Strategy:
Yep, you read right; this guy has 33000 HP. That is a LOT OF HP!
Thankfully, things are a little easier, as it's split into 3 phases.
In the first phase, Griffon floats around with the three atlamillia
circling around him. When he flaps his wings, watch out, because he's going
to flap a gust of wind at you. Just guard it, and wait until he stops. Start
firing at him. Repeat the process until he lands and detatches his wings.
The second form is the easiest out of the three. Move from side to
side when he lunges at you. Don't block, because you'll be knocked down. When
he lunges at you, that is the time to strike. Once you have the chance,
attack with your gun/magic and let him have it. Sometimes he will fire magic
at you which is hard to dodge. If you want to be really safe, just strafe
with the Ridepod; it's much easier to dodge attacks in the vehicle. After
dealing 11000 damage, the emperor transforms into his final form.
As soon as the thrid phase starts, equip some Non-Stop Amulets,
because he tends to inflict stop on your character. Block the projectiles and
approach Griffon. As you get up to Griffon, he charges and unleashes a power
attack. As he's charging up, run behind him and if you have enough time, use
a power attack of your own. If not, use normal attacks from your
wrench/sword. Run away from him, then repeat the process. He has a lot of HP,
but this battle shouldn't really be much of a problem.

_______________________________________
(_______)_______(_______)_______(_______)
Name: Dark Element
Location: Moon Flower Palace (Tower)
HP: 6000
Attack: 147
Defense: 22
Strategy:
You thought Griffon was the end battle, but that's where you were
wrong. The mastermind of all evil, Dark Element, has a bone to pick with you.
This is a timed battle where you only have 5 minutes to defeat the guy. If
time runs out, you lose. It's that simple. Then again, that should be more
than enough time to defeat him if you have been leveling up your weapons.
Equip Anti-Petrify Amulets at the start so his bolts don't stone you
(hehehehe). You can't hurt him at first, so avoid his attacks. If you stay at
a distance, he fires homing magic at you. Stay up close. He attacks twice,
then does a power attack. Guard the first two attacks, then backflip to avoid
the big attack. Dark Element changes colors after that succesion. Once he
changes color, that's your cue to attack him. Start bashing him with your
right hand weapon. After the spirit takes damage, he enlarges himself and
appears in the horizon. He unleashes a huge beam of energy, which you must
dodge. Lock on to him and start charging up. If you release a power attack
right when the beam is about to pass you, it will pass without hurting you.
That's a little trick that coems in handy in this battle. He appears on the
arena normal size again, and is invincible. Dodge the trio of attacks, and
attack him when he changes color. Repeat this whole process until the the bad
dude bites the dust. Watch the ending and enjoy the fact that you just beat
the game!

Name: Metal Flotsam
Location: Zelmite Mine (Room #11)
HP: 16000
Attack: 145
Defense: 20
Strategy:
Hopefully you remember this kooky clown from Chapter One. I'm sure
you do. Well, now he's back and robotic! Flotsam can be taken out easily with
the Ridepod, so I recommend using it. Flotsam drops bombs while hovering over
you. If those bombs hit you, you're in for some serious damage. The good
thing is that they're his only attack. He's pretty quick, so use the
Propellar leg to match his speed. A good strategy for this battle is to
quickly run away from Flotsam. While he's chasing you, blast him with the
Ridepod, and when he gets too close for comfort, run the opposite direction
and let him chase you again while pummeling him. Keep repeating this simple
and somewhat cheap strategy to defeat him. Just make sure to take a picture
of him before you take Flotsam out.
""SCOOP!"" Flotsam, Revived!
Take a picture of the new and improved Flotsam to get this simple
scoop. Try to take a picture when you're far away so you aren't in any danger
from his bombs.

Name: Dark Genie
Location: Zelmite Mine (Room #17)
HP: 20000
Attack: 145
Defense: 20
Strategy:
You really should use Max for this battle. If you do, make sure that
you need a strong wrench and sword for this battle. Keep your HP constantly
high, because Dark Genie's attacks deal massive damage. He flies around and
drops mini clones of himself down to attack you. Keep killing the little guys
until the big one turns blue. Once he turns blue, use your gun to deal damage
to him. You obviously can't use your wrench, because he's in the air. After
you deal enough damage to Dark Genie, he will fire a beam ala Dark Element.
Just like the battle with Dark Element, use a charged up power attack to
avoid the beam. He will turn to his normal color and send his minature
minions towards you again. Take them out with power shots, and when Dark
Genie turns blue again, lay the Smackdown on him. Keep repeating this simple
process until he bites the dust, and now the zelmite is all yours! Sit back,
and watch the second ending to the game.
