How To Beat Queen Grashtrike - Boss Fight Tips & Tricks
Use Ice Spells When Staggered
Queen Grashtrike has a big ice weakness and it'll be most effective when you've staggered her. She'll receive 160% more damage when attacked.

Push For A Fast Stagger
This fight isn't particularly challenging, even on hard mode. Simply push for a hard stagger using your character with high poison resistance (/immunity). Give them ice affinity on their weapon and use stagger increasing moves like Focused Thrust. Once you've staggered her, use Ice spells to take her out. Remember to conserve MP, as you'll have another boss later in this chapter.
