(*PSO Episode I & II* on GameCube, offline multiplayer)

When fighting the first form of **Vol Opt** (boss of the Mine), I often get paralyzed/stunned by some kind of lightning (Gizonde?). This effect can’t be removed with Anti-paralysis, so I have to wait until it’s over. Unfortunately, it seems that this can happen several times in a row: while still being stunned, another lightning seems to extend the effect, or often there is only a small time frame where we can place one attack at most until we get stunned again. The last two times we fought this first form, we were so often stunned that it was really annoying.

I wonder what to do about it? What exactly is triggering this lightning, and how can we prevent it?

Maybe it has to do with the order in which to attack the various parts?

* The **screens** (which can be destroyed while the boss is showing up)
* The **thing** hanging from the ceiling (which can be shot until it falls down)
* The **pillars** that sometimes show up, one of them glowing red
