Monstro
x21 x5 x1

After Sora regains consciousness, follow Pinocchio to the back of the area where a ship lies, as well as Pinocchio's father Geppetto. After speaking to Geppetto, follow Pinocchio into Chamber 1, located through the passage on the wall the left of the ship.

Follow Riku & Pinocchio

Upon entering Monstro's inner chambers, Sora will encounter Riku again, as he takes Pinocchio deeper into the whale. Make your way through each area until you reach Chamber 4; the passages you need to travel through will pulse with green light. In order to reach Chamber 4, you'll need to enter the passages in the following order, starting from the Mouth: Chamber 1 ► 2 ► 3 ► 2 ► 5 ► 6 ► 5 ► 4.

The Search Ghosts found in Monstro like to float out of reach; use your newly acquired Fira and Blizzara spells to defeat them quickly!

NEW HEARTLESS: Search Ghost

When you reach Chamber 4, a cutscene will play. Save your progress at the nearby save station and enter the bowels through the open passage ahead.

Parasite Cage

Parasite Cage

HP: 450      EXP: 500      DIFFICULTY:

Parasite Cage is only vulnerable to damage on the front of its face and belly. Attack with low air combos whenever it isn't swinging one or both of its arms. These arm swings can be deflected with the Guard ability, or you can Dodge Roll away to avoid damage. Equipping the Three Wishes keychain will help you remain close to attack after using Guard successfully.

If you do not have the Guard ability yet, you can remain on the platform near the entrance and attack with air combos from that position in between its arm swings. If you have MP to spare, this is also a good position to cast Fira or Gravity magic without having to worry about incoming attacks. Riku will also attack Parasite Cage and can assist you with healing when your HP falls to critical levels.

REWARD:  Goofy learns the ability Cheer

High-Jump to Monstro's Throat

After Parasite Cage spits out Pinocchio and escapes, drop down the hole that opened up in the floor; the water level will lower in the mouth area, allowing you to access more ledges and perform a nearby Blue Trinity. At the front of the mouth on the highest ledge, there's a chest that contains Watergleam.

Geppetto has left a chest out on the ship for Sora; it contains the shared ability High Jump. Equip curative items (if needed) and save your game at the nearby save station. Equip High Jump and make your way to the throat (located above Chamber 1).

When you enter the throat, defeat the Heartless in the area and perform the blue trinity in the center of the area. Jump from ledge to ledge until you reach the stomach; Sora will witness Riku pass through darkness, as Parasite Cage descends from above.

Parasite Cage II

Parasite Cage II

HP: 900      EXP: 1000      DIFFICULTY:

Parasite Cage has the same attacks as the last time you fought it, in addition to two new attacks. It will periodically suck acid into its belly and spew it at you, depleting your HP gradually over time; try to avoid jumping to the outer platforms to prevent this from happening. This attack won't make contact with you if you circle around its back side on the center platform. You'll know when this attack is incoming when you see it use its arms to suck up acid from the floor.

It can also plant its arms on the floor and swing its entire body towards you; you can Guard against this attack, or you can Dodge Roll away to avoid damage. Make sure not to step in the bright-green acidic parts of the floor; these spots will damage you. Add Cure to your magic shortcut menu for quicker casting in a pinch. The strategy of attack is the same as the previous fight: strike with short air combos after its arm swings. If you strike its head directly a few times, it will stagger and open its mouth. When this happens, lock-on to the dark matter in its mouth and attack it relentlessly with air combos; you will receive HP balls with melee hits (MP orbs will drop if it's struck with magic while staggered).

REWARD:  Sora learns the magic spell Stop

After defeating Parasite Cage a second time, the destructive battle causes Monstro's insides to quake; Sora & company are suddenly sneezed out of Monstro, with Pinocchio and Riku nowhere in sight. To proceed with the story, travel to the world in the lower right.

You can return to Traverse Town to access Geppetto's Workshop, return Torn Page #2 to the Hundred Acre Wood (if you picked it up in Agrabah), and acquire the Dumbo summon. You can also attempt the Pegasus Cup at Olympus Coliseum.
