Giant Goby

Where

Bottom of the Ancient Ruins (after three floors of stone-cube puzzles)

HP

700

Rewards

Clears Murau Temple; grants the ancient breathing apparatus (Jungle Suit progression).

Notes

First real test of the turn-based combat system. 700 HP. The dive→all-party-Defense read is the key survival mechanic.

Recommended setup

• Stock up on food at the campfire near the entrance
• Keep Cobra's AP bar full — she does the heavy lifting
• Equip the Bronze Armor chest drop on Cobra, not Dave

Attack patterns

• Dive and resurface — vanishes off-screen for a turn, then hits the whole party hard; switch everyone to Defense the moment it disappears.
• Standard single- and multi-target hits between dives.

Strategy

1. Clear the three temple floors first: solve the stone-cube panel puzzles and the Sun Crest / Moon Crest rotation puzzles on B-2.
2. Use multi-target moves (Dave's Big Swing, Cobra's Dynamite) to clear bat/frog/scorpion packs and conserve HP before the boss.
3. Burn the self-healing Vampire Bats with Cobra's Incendiary Shot so they can't life-steal.
4. In the boss fight, keep Cobra attacking every turn and drop the whole party to Defense whenever the Goby dives.
