When a thermomonster comes around / you must whip it / before the boss digit can be found / you must whip it

I'm very unsure how to break into this puzzle. Anyone have advice? Is there a Crack the Cryptic video that might help? I'm afraid the clue about roping hasn't led me to an answer.

when every little bit of hope is gone, partial roping says so much.
so push on. turn the corner. play the roping song

This puzzle reminds me of a math teacher who said he can always come up with a formula true for integers 1 to N, and false for the N+1, regardless how big N is.

I am still solving the full Digits of Despair puzzle, but seeing this boss again brought me a smile. I did find it harder than most 2* puzzles but that might just be my bad scanning. This puzzle on its own is already great, but I truely love the full sudokuvania puzzle!

Before learning solving strategies from "Cracking the Cryptic", this would have been "unsolvable" to me. Nicely constructed!
