Location & Behaviour

• 2 Half-cocooned in Prehevil - West (News Agency)
  • 1 Half-cocooned will charge at the player
• 1 Half-cocooned in Old Apartments - North-West
• 1 Half-cocooned in Prehevil - North-West
  • Can't be fought, will only appear for the cutscene with August
• 1 Half-cocooned in Prehevil - West (Back Area)
• 1 Half-cocooned in News Agency
  • Will charge at the player
• 1 Half-cocooned in Prehevil - Ruined Streets
• 1 Half-cocooned is part of the Mob

At the start of a run, Half-cocooned 7's location is randomly chosen out of these:

• Prehevil - Back Alleys - 16.67%
• Prehevil - North-West - 16.67%
• Prehevil - West (News Agency) - 16.67%
• Prehevil - Ruined Streets - 16.67%
• Does not spawn - 33.33%
  • While it is possible for the location to be chosen as Prehevil - Back Alleys (Sylvian's Square), he will not spawn there (Bug)

When the Half-cocooned sees the player and charges, for 6.67 seconds, his movement speed will be increased and upon entering battle he will immediately trigger a coin flip. Half-cocooned 7 will not trigger a coin flip if he catches the player while charging.

• Note: The coin flip that initiates Meat tenderizer only happens if you started the fight with the Half-cocooned while he is running at you.

Strategy

Fear & Hunger Mode

Destroying a half-cocooned's lower "mallet" will cause his head to become vulnerable the next turn, making killing them really easy.
Attacking anything else is a waste of time.

• Be careful of the Half-cocooned enemies that charges at you in the overworld, initiating combat with them while they are charging at you will cause a coin flip attack to happen in the first turn, it is best to initiate the fight with them when they stop running.
• The head does not become vulnerable if the legs were destroyed, so using a Bear trap against the Half-cocooned is almost useless.

Masoχ-S/M Mode

The same strategy for Fear & Hunger Mode applies.
