How To Beat Abzu Shoat
| Abzu Shoat | HP: 4,008 Weakness: Fire Items Dropped: - Hazardous Material Rare Items Dropped: - Antidote Stealable Items: - Antidote |
Appears in Groups
Abzu Shoats typically appear in groups. Use skills and spells that will help you control crowds of them as they can easily overwhelm you with their numbers.
Watch Out for Typhoon Attack
Abzu Shoats will sometimes attack by performing Typhoon. This makes them spin around uncontrollably, dealing damage to enemies that they hit. Avoid getting close to them, and use fire attacks from afar. Alternatively, you can also try to Counterblow this attack.
How To Beat Mischievous Shoat
| Mischievous Shoat | HP: 24,048 Weakness: Fire Items Dropped: - Hazardous Material Rare Items Dropped: - Antidote Stealable Items: - Antidote |
Use Fire Attacks to Weaken
The Mischievous Shoat is weak to fire attacks. Use attacks like Firaga to deal high damage and try to stagger it. Once it's staggered, it will allow you to deal much more damage while it's in a vulnerable state.
Backed Up By Other Shoats
Keep in mind that other Abzu Shoats will be appearing during the fight. Make sure to manage your MP well in order to deal as much fire damage to these enemies!
How To Beat Abzu
| Abzu | HP: 46,760 Weakness: Fire Items Dropped: - Phoenix Down Rare Items Dropped: - Stealable Items: - Turbo Ether |
Use Fire Attacks
Abzu will still be vulnerable to fire attacks. Use these attacks to quickly pressure it and build up its stagger gauge. This will give you a large window to get some good hits in on the enemy while it's preoccupied.
Summon Ifrit For Extra Damage
You can also opt to summon Ifrit in the fight as its fire attacks will also be extremely effective. Its final Hellfire attack will also deal strong damage to Abzu.

From time to time, Abzu Shoats will appear to help out the Abzu. These enemies can be a nuisance when you're trying to take down the Abzu. It is recommended to take care of the Shoats as soon as they appear to avoid getting blindsided.
Cripple Abzu's Tail
You can aim your attacks at the Abzu's tail. Depleting the tail's HP will cut it off, staggering Abzu for a bit, and giving you a window of opportunity to attack!
Be Ready to Dodge When Abzu Jumps Away
Abzu will sometimes jump away from the fight and stay on an elevated platform. Be ready to dodge as it will try to pounce on you from there. Alternatively, it will also use the Blackwater Blast attack. When this happens, run away from the pipe where the water will rush out!
