As soon as it stops, you can attack again; if you are still close enough it should hit. This is quicker than just attacking twice normally.

Note: For some doors you must be farther away so the door does not lock you out, stating that you need a seal. You should know be in the Boss room.

Also, for Demetri's first fight in the Garden Of Madness, if you enter the door from the right, Demetri's scene happens and Somacan still move.

There are three secret monsters (Yeti, Mothman, and Flying Humanoid). To get the Yeti, you must first get the Waiter Skeleton Soul then go back to the very beginning of the game. You will see him walking in the background. Toss the curry and he will come up where you can attack him and gain his Soul. You will need the Rycuda Soul leveled up to at least two to get Mothman. Go to The Pinnacle to the area where there are two final guards and a light in between them. Strike the generator next to the light with Rycuda and Mothman will appear. For the Flying Humanoid, you will need the Mandragora Soul. Enter the room in between the Zephyr Boss room and a save room, then use the Soul.
Equip the Bullet-type soul Succubus and a back-stabbing weapon (for example, Cinquedia). Press Up + Y to activate Succubus. Just as Soma raises his arms, press A for a special attack. Soma will thrust forward and back, and will be surrounded by a red aura. That aura only lasts about three seconds -- work as fast as possible. Walk into an opponent and stay in his space until the aura dissipates. Three things will happen when the aura disappears: The enemy will take damage based on your INT level (but normally around 200-300 damage); you will regenerate health (just like using Succubus normally); and you can walk through enemies with taking damage (like Iron Golem, Valkyrie, etc., minus the constant MP cost). This is sometimes extremely difficult to do, but once mastered the results are amazing. This glitch has two major flaws. You can only move sideways, with no jumping, sliding, back-dashing, "Hippogryphing", or using Souls (except Black Panther). Also, the chance of doing damage is random. Sometimes damage is done instantly, and sometimes not at all.
In the Mines of Judgment is a room that has a Bugbear, a Slogra, and a small ledge overlooking the room.

Press R to activate Guardian-type soul Bat Company and fly into the ledge, just barely on the edge. Deactivate and Soma will be crouching on the ledge. Slide twice in the direction you are facing. Once you fall off, keep pressing B to jump repeatedly. This may take a few attempts, but Soma will continually jump until he touches the ground.
