The local legend will attack with bubbles that follow you and explode upon contact. It is recommended to use the ability of the Ball Octopus to push the bubbles towards the monster.
Hitting Chassanion with its own bubbles is the key to victory. Repeating the process a few times should solidify your win over this enemy.
