Fighting the new Bigfoot

I know it would be a lot slower, but...

If he can't reach puppet by jumping, could we just stand in the middle of the top platform and eruption/rain spam as well? If that works, it gives other classes options too, like explosion, ice strike, etc.

yeah, in theory you could do that. It's quite a bit riskier though, because if you should fail to keep it at bay it might get around to the platforms and get up to you. Jump Down makes it easier to escape, but you can't attack him when he's above you using this method like you might with mine.

I got the idea to try this from fighting HH at the crossroads, where you put the puppet up there out of range. Sometimes I see I/Ls or F/Ps using their attacks up there on that platform, so I'd imagine they could apply this technique just like us. It would take a REALLY, REALLY long time though.
