Re: magical ball and edge
*** SPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERSSPOILERS***
Okay, to just grab the weapon and magic pieces without the massive exp boost.
First, figure out a way to survive the fireballs. I normally just mow it down with a gun to just mass pop it all.
second, the lightning attack should be what comes up. Switch to the magical edge and activate reflect mode. Get hit by the lightning to have the lightning destroyed and have a magical piece fall to the ground.
Third, if you just want to get the magical ball first to make magic collection easier, then stand on top of the magical piece while the magical ball is nearby. Swing your magical edge to cause an explosion that usually drops the ball's health by 20-25%. Note: You need to stand ontop of the spot where the piece is located. If you hit the piece while not on it, you get blown up for stupid amounts of damage
Fourth, dodge the ice cube thing by jumping over it.
Fifth, avoid the dark shell cannon. This can be done a few ways. You can throw out a ground cruser or drink a can to place an object for it to crash into. You can also try to climb up a rope before jumping down as the shell rises up (the timing is a bit hard) so the shell flies past you.
Sixth, Well uh, stand there as it heals 10% of it's hp.
Seventh, repeat until it dies. The only change in variation is at 20% You have to do a climb to some switches as the ball sits in shadow form, immune to any damage. Fix this and go back to finishing it off.
Honestly once you get the magical ball, shadow mode should let you survive the parts to ignore the attacks until the lightning part to reflect and collect a piece. You can also peacefully hit the switches at the 20% mark to finish it before it heals too much.
Amusingly, there was a hilarious bug with the magical ball that was patched out a long while ago. It involved a weapon that left the ball immobilized. This was a bug with the weapon as one could switch out of it and still have the enemy trapped as you slowly...very slowly, chipped away at it's hp with the magical edge until it died. A friend tried this and killed the ball at lv 200 after 2 hours of straight attacks. This doesn't work anymore as enemies are now freed if you switch out the weapon.
