Boss Fight: Duorduor

For this fight, you’ll be fighting the giant boar Duorduor. He uses a lot of physical attacks including an AOE attack and can stun your one of your party members for a turn. When the boar becomes surrounded in a purple mist, you’ll want to break it or defend as its attack deals massive damage to one of your characters. When the Duorduor reaches half health, it will summon allies to join in on the battle. Agnea will also unlock her Latent Power which allows her to make a single target skill affect all enemies or allies. The boar will also be able to heal some damage at this stage as well so watch out for that. Once you defeat the boar and its allies the battle will end and a cutscene will trigger.
