The Puppet Stinger is a massive Stinger class ANMC and one of the latter bosses in Parasite Eve II.

Parasite Eve 2 PS1 Boss 11

Aya fighting the Puppet Stinger.

It is flanked by two Derangement Speakers which slowly drain Aya's MP if they are not destroyed. Destroying these also cause the Puppet Stinger to recoil, cancelling its spells out.

Another, albeit MP/PE reliant, strategy to easily dispose of this creature is to negate all PE cast on/from it by pushing Eve back using Plasma (3MP per cast at Lv.3). This might get tricky, as its range is limited and Eve has a shield up, as well.

A very viable and useful strategy against the Puppet Stinger is to use Energyshot with the Grenade Launcher or Grenade Pistol with Grenade ammo. This will quickly take out the Derangement Speakers and each subsequent shot to the Puppet Stinger will stagger it. If shot at a constant stream of grenade shots, the boss will essentially be stagger-locked and becomes the most menial of bosses in the game.

Energyshot

Aya using Energyshot.

Lvl. 3 Energyshot and normal grenade with Crystal Skull and Ofuda deals roughly 180 to 200 damage per shot, up to a staggering 380+ on its combustion startup where it drops its antibody effect.


Also a fairly effective strategy is to use a P08 with a magazine, equipped with 9mm Spartan. Combined with the effect of Energyshot Lv3 and Eau de Toilette, at the moment when the boss's defense drops, you can deal over 100 - 150 damage per shot, there is also a chance that intense fire will force the boss to cancel his attacks even if there is an active antibody. Also a good solution would be to use poison or paralysis; during the decline of antibodies, Puppet stinger becomes weak to Apobiosis Lv3 and Necrosis, preferably also Lv3. This is a fairly effective strategy that, with some experience and practice, turns this boss into the easiest one in the entire game.
