===Dumbo Octopus Prime===
===Dumbo Octopus Prime===
This is probably the hardest pet boss to beat, so it is recommended to bring lots of healing items. You also need your Song, Energy, and Sun forms to beat it. The Octopus has several attacks, including tracking energy beams, grabbing you with its tentacle and slamming you around, spawning small octopuses, and squirting ink out to blacken the entire screen. Its weak spot is only revealed when you get close to its mouth, but that also puts you in range of being grabbed, so you want to dash in and out, while firing at the orb that pops out of it's mouth. If it starts spraying ink, swim north into the little alcove up top and hug the left edge; his energy orbs can't hit you there. Switch to Sun Form and charge up your light to brighten the screen. Then immediately switch to Energy Form and attack before he can blacken the screen again. Make sure to take out the small octopuses he spawns as well when you can. It will take time and a good amount of healing items, but eventually you will defeat him and get your egg.
This is probably the easiest pet boss to beat, so long as you have the Urchin Costume equipped, which you really should by this late stage in the game.
 
The Octopus has several attacks, including tracking energy beams, grabbing you with its tentacle and slamming you around, spawning small octopuses, and squirting ink out to blacken the entire screen.
 
Crucially, its weak spot is only revealed when you get close to its mouth. If you position yourself at point-blank range to this location, you will be able to damage him without taking much damage yourself. In fact, you don't even need to see or move at all as the only things that can successfully attack you are the drone octopuses and the ink blind.
 
You will need a handful of healing items, but the damage is so slight that the simple +1 class items will do the trick.
