Hugo finally finds the path to the next floor, coming to a large sand pit. Unfortunately the path becomes blocked by a large, aggressive flora that takes issue with the Fact's intrusion.
════════════════════════════
While Hugo's range gives him a slight edge compared to Yunica, it doesn't stop this boss from again being one of the more frustrating ones to deal with.
Like with Yunica, the main focus here is to not allow Khonsclard to put up its endless barrage of attacks. Thanks to the sand pulling you towards its body and the speed and random order of its attacks you can't really afford to abuse Hugo's range or the Force Shield. Granted, the Force Shield can let you attack its body while floating over the hazards, but chances are it will break or the eyes will begin healing Khonsclard before you can start putting on damage. That being said, normal attacks will deter some of its attacks if you find yourself waiting for a spell to charge.
Like with Yunica the best time to attack the body is when it starts creating sand waves. While Hugo's Flame Wheel would seem to be the logical option to attack the eyes and body due to its range, I always find Trap Mine's spread very useful for taking down certain eyes while Hugo can direct his attention to another target. Dropping down with a Trap Mine after attacking its weak point also keeps the damage spread high, making this a quick fight if you get in the proper rhythm.
Trap Mine is also the best when dealing with its weakpoint itself, and because it safely covers you for a number of Khonsclard's attacks it's the key player in this battle.
════════════════════════════
The perfidious plant defeated, Hugo continues on, reaching the next murderous floor of the Tower.
