A first important note is that the Pot Scorpion can only be harmed by flipping it on its top. This can be done by blocking its sting attack with the ~~Guard~~ [[~~ability~~]] or by hitting it with [[Aero]] magic.

A first important note is that the Pot Scorpion can only be harmed by flipping it on its top. This can be done by blocking its sting or charge attack with the [[Guard]] ability or by hitting it with [[Aero]] magic. (Needs testing, basic [[Aero]] doesn't always seem to work.)

Since stinger attacks seem rare early on in the fight, a charge attack can be easily provoked and predicted. Equip a keyblade that is "difficult to deflect", such as the [[Olympia]] or the [[Three Wishes]]. Spam basic attacks against the pot scorpion, and you will notice a basic pattern in its melee attacks: it will do a quick one-two pincer attack, followed by a charge attack. The charge attack can be parried by a basic attack, but it is difficult to time correctly. If you stop attacking once you see the pincer attacks and use guard immediately after, you can deflect the charge attack and flip it over consistently, making it a fairly quick fight.

The attacks of the Pot Scorpion can be quite annoying since it uses poison. It can shoot poisonous bombs from its pot into every direction, as well as a continuous stream of poison that rains down on the field after about five seconds. Both attacks cause poisonous puddles to appear around the arena, which do damage if Sora or his teammates collide with them.

Also, to receive the best reward from the Pot Scorpion, one must break as many pots as they can before battling the Heartless at the Palace Gates area. The best method for breaking all the normal pots is to remove any abilities that hit wide, such as Vortex, then walk into the pots to see which moves and stays still. The movable pots are normal, while the persistent pot, unable to move is the Pot Scorpion.
