Gobul Guides

Beginners Guide to Fighting any Boss Monster
Make sure you come well prepared with additional Potions, Mega Potions, Paintballs and Whetstones (very important) Watch the monster for about 5mins so you know what the monster is capable but if a monster berserks take additional care as it may gain new moves. Cha-cha is the best distraction ever. Fact. When monsters are attacking him use is opportunity to the maximum.

Specific Guide for Fighting Gobul
The first thing you should notice fighting him is even underwater he is slow. He turns on the spot and gives you plenty of time to get out of the way of his next attack.

First Fight him underwater, you need to remove his lantern. The lantern on his head can stun you so get rid of it as soon as possible. The best opportunity to hit it is when he uses the "SUPER SCARY VACUUM BREATH" which, while we are talking about it, is very easy to dodge. If he disappears under the sand then watch the tell-tale moving sand to show you were he is. Try not to swim directly in front or above it.

With the lantern removed I would recommend removing the tail, why? Because removing things always make fights easier for you. If you can get on land, now is the time to do so as the tail is easier to remove there than in the water as you don't need to worry about that silly extra dimension you have to travel in. Once on land hitting the tail becomes easy as he is slow and sluggish. The attack you have to watch for is the tail whip. This move will paralyse you momentarily but is not really of much consequence. He rolls like the ...Royal Ludroth... does but if you are attacking the tail then he won't be able to hit you.

SPOILER He can be fished out using frogs in area 4 and this can be done as many times as necessary SPOILER

Now you have beaten his peripherals off you need to begin your battle to the death. I personally think that it is easier to do the rest of the fight back in his home territory. He's faster and has more moves but you can hit his soft underbelly. At this point in the game, not enough weapons have green sharpness so the softer the flesh the better.

Other Useful Information
I know what you are thinking...AHH HE HAS A SPIKEY ROLL ATTACK!! CYAN, WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THAT!!! I know I haven't said anything about it in the guide and I did it for a reason. Its nothing to worry about, you shouldn't ever be stood or be swimming next to it as there is nothing to hit there, if you are going to hit the side you might aswell hit the tail. You are also thinking about what to do if he goes spikey. I say ignore it, just don't attack his back, what it really is is additional armour that hurts back. Like the Roll if you are attacking the tail or head it is of to consequence.

To my knowledge he always goes to "sleep" in area 8 of Flooded Forest. He will teleport straight there using dig. He "sleeps" underwater, you need to find some mushroomy-looking fronds with lots of bubbles near by. its fairly obvious really. He is very dangerous in area 3 of the Flooded Forest as he is able to dig there.

I used a GS to complete this quest, but I don't think it matters, all weapons should work.
