Boss Combat Tips Guide

Dodge While Figuring Out Enemy's Attack Pattern

The Bosses has great Attack Power, so even with 1 blow, you will be inflicted with great damage. Until you get used to the enemy's Attack pattern, you will want to Dodge as much as possible.

Succeed Attack/Cinematic Evasion

Bosses, except for Morbol, there will be a short cutscene during battle and you will have an event (qte) where you will enter a command in a certain of time. When you succeed then you will have an Attack chance so make sure to complete it.

While Staggered, Inflict Great Damage

When you have decreased the Bosses' Will Gauge (yellow gauge under HP), then you will be able to get a 100% Staggered. When you inflict damage during this time, it will be increased by maximum 1.5 times. So if you are able to inflict damage at this time then you will be able to finish the Bosses' battle quicker.

What To Do When You Can't Win?

Increase Your Level

Increasing your level will also increase your status making you less prone to damage and higher ATK. It is the easiest and most important way of getting stronger. If you cannot win the battle fight, try leveling up first!

Check Your Equipment & Abilities

Check if your abilities, accessories and such and see if they fit the moves of the boss. Especially abilities which can be reset anytime. Who knows, you might discover an ability combo that works great for the boss.

If It Is Still Hard, Then Change Difficulty

If you are really struggling to win, then you can change your difficulty level. You can adjust with you Support Accessory so make it best for your own level.
