  • Weakness
    • Weak to water and wind arts
    • S-Craft with Fie then swapped in Emma to heal
    • Breath on Jusis and Rean
  • Have to use Machias and Jusis in party

I started this fight off with Rean, Fie, Machias and Jusis as the game forces you to use Machias and Jusis. The first move I made was using Fie’s S-Craft to deal some massive damage to the Fate Spinner, then I swapped her out for Emma. My strategy for this fight was to use Rean to tank the boss while Jusis and Machias provided support leaving Emma to focus on healing and casting arts as needed. The two main attacks you need to look out for are Wondrous Vomit and Pounce. Make sure to use water and earth arts as the Fate Spinner is weak to both. I also put Breath on both Rean and Jusis for extra AOE healing if needed.

Quests

Old School House Mystery II

  • Objective: Continue the investigation of the Old Schoolhouse
    • Investigate the Old Schoolhouse and defeat the boss
  • Reward: Heal
* Hard Mode Stats

Cherubic Gate Attacks

  • Light Beam
    • Damages the targeted party member and anyone near them
  • Crysis Cry
    • Deals damage to everyone and can decrease speed

The best way I found to handle this fight was by dealing with one of the three Cherubic Gates at a time while healing through the attacks for all three. My party consisted of Rean, Larua, Gaius and Elliot. Laura, Rean and Gaius focused on the monster while Elliot healed nearby. Try to keep up Elliot’s Resounding Beat to help with the healing, and I had Breath on Elliot for AOE healing as well. One of the issues I ran into was the enemies started targeting Elliot, so I also had Tear on Gaius to assist with healing. The Cherubic Gate has two main attacks to watch for with the first being a Light Beam that targets a party member and deals splash damage. The second is called Crysis Cry, and it damages all party members in combat while decreasing speed and the possibility to inflict Confuse. Try to get the enemy’s health down to around 5,000 then use Rean and Laura’s S-Crafts to finish it off.  Once defeated, move onto the next one. You can also use earth-based arts to deal extra damage to the Cherubic Gates. Take your time and use items if needed to pull off the win here.

Grunoja Attacks

  • Roar
    • Buffs Str and Def
  • Swipe
    • A standard attack that targets a character and can damage anyone near them
  • Deadly Cry
    • A loud cry that targets all party members with a chance to inflict seal
  • Fists of Fury
    • Multiple punch/slam attack that deals massive damage to the target

Make sure you go into this fight with both Rean and Laura at 200 CP, because when it starts you will be fighting Grunoja along with two Gordi Chiefs. Focus on taking out the Gordi Chiefs by weakening them with some fire arts and finishing them off with an S-Craft from Rean and Laura. This will allow you to give your full attention to the boss. Also, make sure to keep up Elliot’s Resounding Beat craft on the party for the health regen and increased defense to make healing a bit easier.  Don’t be afraid to use Rean’s Impassion art on himself and Laura to help regenerate CP.  I used Laura to keep Grunoja’s attention while Rean dealt additional damage from the side.  Alisa and Elliot were at a distance to support as needed. Watch out for Grunoja’s Deadly Cry and Fists of Fury Attacks. Deadly Cry hits everyone and can seal attacks and crafts while Fists of Fury deals massive damage to its target. If you find yourself in a tight spot, Alisa’s Blessed Arrow can heal the rest of the party. Just keep managing the party’s health and you should be just fine.

Scary Dinosaur Attacks

  • Erie Soundwave
    • A roar attack that sends out a shock wave that deals damage and decreases defense
  • Chop Attack
    • An attack that bites a party member and can inflict the paralyze status
  • Crash Bite
    • An arts attack that bites the target multiple times for a lot of damage
  • Tail Blow
    • A tailspin attack that deals damage to any party member in range

For this fight, I had Rean and Laura on the left and right side of the dino while Alisa was just close enough to attack with her bow and arts leaving Elliot a bit further back to heal and use his arts as necessary. The strategy here is to keep the boss focused on Rean and Laura while Alisa and Elliot attack from a distance. That main two attacks to watch out for are the Chop Attack that can leave a party member paralyzed and the Crash Bite attack. As soon as the dino begins charging, use Rean’s Autumn Leaf Cutter craft to interrupt it. I would also make sure you start the fight off by having 200 CP for each party member. That way you can use Rean’s Motivate craft to buff attack and Elliot’s Resounding Beat to buff the party’s defense as well as give them health regen. If you find yourself in a tight shop, Alisa has the Blessed Arrow craft that heals a generous amount. Also, make sure to use water based arts as they do double the damage to the dino.
