You have to break head crystals, then crystals on pincers, then pincers, and have it switch to Blue Blood mode, hit the head to flip it over and THEN you can start working on cutting the tail... I need those tails myself so I know what an ass he is to farm tails from. -_-

And yes the tail swings can paralyse you. Ironically, he is immune to all ailments but KO too. And immune to all elements except for .15 to all on tail at Sub HR100.
