The Gimmick card made it easier for Sora to get close to Parasite Cage (left). The Parasite Cage lunges as Sora jumps away (right).

The Parasite Cage is always facing you while the four platforms spin around. You’ll have to deal with the Parasite Cage firing poisonous balls at you, and that forces you to jump to another platform. Jump close to the Parasite Cage so you can get an attack off. Card breaking his attacks is a great way to close the gap and stay on the moving platforms. The other attack you have to watch out for is the lunge, where it plants it’s arms and throws it’s body at you. The Gimmick Card will make the acid become water and remove the platforms, allowing you to have an all out assault on the boss. Reload when you need to, especially if you don’t have a Cure ready because it’s essential in this fight. Parasite Cage will drop, you guessed it, Parasite Cage Enemy Card .

You’ll obtain the Key of Truth for beating the Parasite Cage. You’ll want to save before heading to the Room of Truth as there is an event here as well. You’ll have two minutes (2:00) to clear the Shadows and fill the meter. Once you accomplish this you’ll receive a Dumbo card and be free to leave. Onward to the last world in this set!
