How to fight Pocketcat?

[Madness]

So since I know Orange browses here, can you fight Pocketcat like in this video you posted or was that just for show?

I ran into him today he's in the city and there's a dialogue option to attack him. I didn't do it because I hadn't found party members at the time and I like having both arms lol

Yes you can fight him at the tower, spoilers in the text below.

If you reach the tower and touch the door when there are other contestants in your party, Rher will moonscorch the party and force you to fight them. In my game Daan spoke to some voice, made a deal with it and made me fight Pocketcat. I am assuming this is because Daan doesn't have a moonscorched form like Abella or Henryk.

you can try to fight him on Bohemia museum, and spoiler for daan character if you use daan as character and fail to get any ending till day 3 over(just rest till it end) you will have a scene where you talk with pocket cat and in the end you became the pockec cat yourself

Make sure to have a snakesomething rune that protects from limb loss. Each turn not only he does the usual attacks, he also asks you which limb you wanna lose - arm, leg or head. The usual loophole with such monsters in fairy tales(like aka manto) is "I don't want anything from you" - but he says you are talking nonsense and loops the dialogue. Thankfully the rune blocks losing arms and legs. Never chose head - i'm not stupid.

pretty sure its only possible to fight Daan as the "pocket cat" and not possible to fight the main/original/normal pocket cat, speaking of which, I wonder why Pocket cat does that to Daan? Is he like passing the pocket cat mantel over to him? what would pocket cat do after passing it to Daan I wonder?

Probably pursue his other hobby of being a pedo.

As the first comment said, there was an attack option if you first meet him at the staircase in the city. I didn't choose it either but I can't imagine you aren't able to fight him there.

I was wondering the why, myself, given that there isn't much of anything to go off of from my personal playthrough. All I could come up with is just speculation on my part from playing as Daan and surviving to day 3. But the way I read it, it came across to me as a potential cycle of abuse situation. His parents were devout in their worship of Sylvian and they do try to teach him her ways in his intro. Maybe some implications there. We know what Pocketcat does and it isn't uncommon for abused to become abuser. For another point to this, Sylvian worshipers wear the rabbit masks - Pocketcat has a furry comment.

The creator is pretty approachable with this sort of stuff. I imagine that after some time has passed from its launch that you could ask, even if it's just in private. I would be curious to know, myself.

Right yeah, Cycle of abuse does sound like it could be on the right track with the Sylvian thing in the intro, Just did a playthrough as Daan myself and that part about his parents in the intro did make me question that :x. Also rip Daan getting called "degenerate furry"

And thanks yeah, I'd be interested at some point in the future to read/hear the creators thoughts on certain things like these, a "dev log/diary" or directors commentary I suppose.

So does anyone know how to defeat him? Not one post in here actually says how.

Same way you fight anything else. Throw glass at his eyes or use the meatgrinder weapon. Leechmonger ring, Salmonsnake Rune, and Hardened Heart make you basically invincible all by yourself.

tbh i didn't have any problem with him but that's probably only due to salmonsnake rune which protects from dismemberment. I put all damage into his torso.

Glass doesn't work.

Anyway I ended up defeating him. Karin had the salmon snake rune and he kept targeting her. He's just really tanky. I wish his dismemberment move had a coin flip at least.

Oh damn, I thought it did. My bad.

[peep]

Lol all good, lemme tell you I wish glass worked. He's kind of a pain in the a**

[Scoot]

So i have a question… I killed off every other character and now it just loops him asking what body part he wants to dismember, is there a way to fix this? Can you beat him solo????
