RQ: Fantasy Zone, PS2 version, Dawndusk boss

That is, the eighth boss in Normal mode when you start buying new stages.

Basically...WHERE ARE SCAROTTEN'S WEAK SPOTS?! When I shoot, I occasionally hear the successful-hit sound, but it seems to be random. I haven't been able to just do this by brute force and hoping I shoot enough to derail Scarotten anyway--I always get clipped by one of its eyes eventually. Help?

Never mind. I found out you have to shoot the sockets while the eyes are extended (and make sure you get away before the eye retracts...just not into another eye). Fortunately, you don't die if you hit the eyestalks, just the eyes themeselves.

Of course, Scarotten fires more rapidly as eyes get destroyed. You'll probably need to sucker the head into charging you (just get in front of it) to momentarily stop the bullet flow after three eyes have been destroyed...
