Strategy
Hook only has a few attacks that you need to watch out for. When it raises its arms in the air, prepare to jump to avoid the shockwave that it will create. It will also shoot out magic orbs from its mouth which can be avoided by running away. Attack one of its arms using your weapon or use Dark Blast until the attack gauge appears and unload on it.
Hook will then climb up the side of the cliff and release sphere-shaped shades on the battlefield. Take out the shades first while still keeping attention on Hook to avoid its arm slam and mouth orbs. Attack its other arm using Dark Blast until the attack gauge appears again to destroy it.
When Hook comes back down, its attacks will become more powerful. Its mouth blast will release more orbs and will last longer than usual. The boss will now also be able to do multiple leg slams that send shockwaves out fast. Keep firing magic at the boss to deplete its health until the attack gauge appears on its head. Focus all attacks on it to defeat the boss.
