The Giant Pignon is found only in the graveyard section of the Mimiga Village. | ||

Frenzied Toroko can be a hard battle | Frenzied Toroko can be a hard battle. It's best to max out your weapon levels before you head in. She basically runs and jumps around, throwing blocks straight at you constantly. You should keep moving, and always keep an eye for the flying blocks, since beside the significant damage, your weapon is going to level down if you're hit. When she jumps, a good strategy is to run past her from below, since you won't get hit by a block that way. The flowers only have 1 HP, so they're not that dangerous, and they provide minor EXP and health. | ||
Note: when you hit her with a missile she will speed up slightly (as is the case with most boss fights). | |||

After a while he will shoot out red bats that can be easily destroyed if you shoot them with the Nemesis or Polar Star upgrade (they don't give you any power ups) I suggest using the missiles here, since the next boss you can use spur or nemesis.
