Quests

Old Schoolhouse Mystery

• Objective: Investigate the Old Schoolhouse
  • Head into the Old Schoolhouse to start the investigation
  • Defeat the Minos Demon
  • Return to the entrance and end the investigation
• Reward: Seal

Old Schoolhouse Floor 1 – Depths

• Boss
  • Minos Demon
    • Attacks
      • Dark Breath
        • A sweeping attack that can infect the blind status on anyone hit by it
      • Swipe Attack
        • Deals damage to the targeted party member

For this fight, I positioned Rean and Gaius on the left and right sides of the Minos Demon and let Elliot hang back where he started the fight. The strategy here is to let the monster focus on Gaius and Rean while they chip away at his health leaving Elliot to heal and deal damage using arts from a distance. I went into the fight with each party member having 200 CP. That allowed for Rean to buff his and Gaius’ attack using the Motivate Craft while Elliot kept using his Resounding Beat on Rean and Gaius for increased defense and a health regen each turn. The only real thing to watch out for is the Dark Breath attack that can blind one of your party members. Outside of that, this should be an easy routine fight.
