Prepare Healing Items With Johannes
Before facing a Boss, head back to Arvantville and craft healing items with Johannes. If you have the materials, you can craft consumables such as potions, and food to keep your HP up during the fight.

Enhance Shards To More Powerful Versions
Always check to see if you can upgrade your Shards with Johannes. Having higher rank Shards will increase the strength of the effects of the Shards when used.
Thing To Remember When Fighting Bosses
Save The Game Before The Fight
Make sure to save your game before facing the boss. Dying in the fight will spawn you back to your most recent save point. This will cause you to lose all of your unsaved progress. Make it a habit before going to the fight.
Eat Your Food Before The Fight
The best time to eat your food to gain the first-time bonus is right before the fight. This will give you the permanent increase to your stats for the whole duration of the fight, making you a more formidable enemy!
Have Plenty Of Food With You
Unlike healing items such as the Potion and High Potion, you will be able to bring a much larger stack of food with you. Try to bring as much food as you can to the fight to have another way of healing yourself!
Learn Bosses Attack Patterns
Before attacking enemies, take some time to learn their movesets, and find a way to counter or evade them. This way you can predict their incoming attacks and adjust your positioning and strategy accordingly.
Avoid Over-Extending Your Attacks
Make sure to only come in for an attack when the enemy is vulnerable. Never overstay your welcome or you might just get hit with a strong attack that can destroy a chunk of your HP.
Experiment Which Shards Are Most Effective
If you're having a hard time getting close to the boss, you can try using a long-range Shard and vice-versa. Experiment which Shards work best when facing the boss to have an easier time defeating them!
Equip Shards That Counter Enemy Elements
Keep in mind that there are some Shards that counter enemies of the opposite element. Fire element enemies are weak against water type Shards, water types are weak against electric Shards, and so on.
