Dot.Hack//Mutation; Fighting Cubia?

Question

When Aura sends the message that, at the end, if decoded, says, "Beware of Cubia," the dungeon that Mistral follows you into, at lvl 35, how do you beat Cubia on the bottom floor of the dungeon? Every time I hurt him he reheals himself and creates tentacle monsters to attack me. Then when I start hurting him, he swallows his core and attacks with either, a massive [wood] attack, a massive [thunder] attack, or a couple of massive [fire] attacks. Then after the attack streak, he releases his core which is either physical attack tolerant, or magical attack tolerant. How do you beat him?

Edit: How do you use wind and water on his top half, when the only thing that can be hurt is his core?

Answer 1

i did the physical attacks on the core when it was weak to physical, and had my attacker (i think it was actually sanjuro, i could be wrong) fight the spheres, repth first of course. i had my magic user (mistral i think) heal liberally. i went through a LOT of those soul things or whatever restores magic points

but i made both my guys use the magic against the core when it was weak to magic, and i beat the attackers, so that i could keep an eye on our healths. i don't do magic in major fights with kite, because the lag might prevent me from either using a magic heal, or if i have almost no time at all, an item to heal

it took a long time, a lot of magic point heal items, and a lot of hp heal items

It's pretty simple but takes awhile.. but you'll end up fighting Cubia in all the games til you finally fight him in Quarentine and defeat him at the end.

What you need to do:
Make sure you and one other party member has magic [so thats mistral] and also one physical fighter.. [blackrose, probably but whoever is strongest]

See what Cubia core is resistant to, magic or physical and tell your party to attack with the opposite and do the same. It helps alot if you defeat the Repht core but thats the only one you need to bother with.
Keep switching betwen physical and magical throughout the battle.

also make sure your wavemaster is healing your party right after each big attack. It really helps to be a high enough level to where you won't die after each one but still possible at a low level.. I guess just pay attention to what the core is and don't stop attacking..
Another helpful hint is to use your "attack" skills on him when he's magical tolerant so that one goes down faster.
