Chain of Memories First boss in Monstro help

Ok, I got to the last world, well last for me, and I'm having trouble defeating the caged whatever-it-is. Can someone help me? I'm lvl 30. I have a few cards that are 8 and 7. Do you think I need to add some heartless cards? Or make a new deck? Since my 1st one is only 498/500 CP.

 

I do not remember this battle too well, so I dont remember if the enemy had high attacking sleights or not. I also do not know what any of the enemy cards do besides Vexen, which was the only one I used, so if you feel a need to put one in go ahead. Keep your deck built with some higher leveled keyblades, and add in some 0's to card break the strong attacks. While fighting you should probably stay away with sleights unless necessary. Use regular Goofy attacks whenever you can, just get close to the parasite and get Goofy close to him, he'll do a bit of damage. Adding magic cards to this fight is your choice, but if you do make sure they are all Premium cards, so you get all you can out of them in sleights. Other than that just play it safe, keep some 0's handy for its strong attacks, and stay out of the acid because it will make the battle more difficult for you.

 

It really helps to have high level cards. Personally, sleights didn't work for me and I just hacked and slashed the thing with my 9s, 8s and 7s. I did this in both CoM and Re:CoM on Proud Mode without much problem.

The Mickey Card is your friend. Be sure to use it whenever it becomes available to you, as this greatly helps the hassle of having to juggle back and forth on the rotating circular platforms.

Another method (which requires a bit more skill to do) if you don't have many high cards is to keep a bunch of 0 cards at the end of your deck. Whenever the caged monster busts out a high card that greatly exceeds the majority of your attack cards, quickly rotate to a 0 card, break it, then rotate quickly back to your attack cards at the front of your deck. Repeat this until you win.

The only difficult thing is to manage both that and the jumping between the platforms--this is why the Mickey Card is really a life-saver.

Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, i really don't remember much about this battle. But after getting advice from my friends, which really helped, i think that really it's always good to have a combination of attack cards even with weaker ones. (like in this case i guess it's good to throw in 5's or w/e)
Also to be sure to throw in a few healing cards...eh, I'd put this for last so it'd be easier to shuffle for them or so it can be a lifesaver later and not while attacking offense which can leave you vulnerable even more after receiving a certain amount of damage , and maybe just one or two boss card's (especially boogie)

 

Thanks all, I defeated the Parasite Cage last night after I posted this thread, lol. I'm in Neverland after I finished 100 Acre Wood. Thanks.

 

Ehhh...


You have to be very fast...break the cards!

 

If you ever decide on replaying and think you'll have trouble again, just remember you can learn Fire Raid here. Parasite Cage has a weakness to Fire and gets stunned by it, and since the platforms allow you to stay at the back while Parasite Cage can't move, it's easy to get around 5 multihits with the Raid.
