Page 1: Observations
''Being a giant plant, transformed by the dense Mist of the Feywood. The long trunk-root extending from beneath its bloom is used to draw nourishment from the elder trees it prefers.''

Though it reproduces by releasing pollen from pods, the Mist interferes with germination, and actual sproutlings are rare.

Battle
It is advised to stock up on Remedies and Hi-Potions for this battle. The Rafflesia will constantly sucks away your MP at a monstrous rate. Any Quickenings you may want to use should be done as early as possible or else the chance will disappear. The Rafflesia can hit your characters with Sap, so be sure to watch your health. It's Cry for Help command calls Malboros into battle, but it cannot be used if Rafflesia is inflicted with Silence. The Marlboros it summons constantly use Cloying Breath, so be sure you have one person at range who can use Remedies on affected party members whenever this happens.
