You've been here before so follow the main path, be sure to save at the first point you come to. When you enter the door after it, there is a scene. Boss:
Boss Strategy: Watch out for the massive Hp damage they inflict. You're best bet here is to focus on one at a time, but that becomes hard since it's not easy to distinguish between them. This is sort of like a beefed up version of a random battle, use the same tactics you would for any other fight. There's no big secret here. Defeat Dark Armor within 1 minute: Side Kick works absolutely beautifully, especially cancel bonused to 300%, you have a very good chance at hitting all three of them at once and with mass damage like that, there's no way it'll take you longer than one minute. Actually building it up without being knocked back by a giant hammer is what you'll have to be worrying most about. Defeat Dark Armor without taking damage: This is pretty easy to do, since they only deal Hp damage (albeit a lot of it) the battle map is pretty much designed for you to hide in the lower corner and use Perfect Berries over and over again. Easy no? After the battle save your game and continue through the shrine. Along the way you'll encounter another event. Boss:
Boss Strategy: This boss really doesn't have any powerful attacks like previous bosses, in fact he's just a not much harder version of the previous crystal statues. If you were able to defeat the Dark Armors, you can defeat him. Defeat Crystal Statue within 1 minute: For such an easy boss you'd be surprised how not easy this is. He has a lot of Hp and it seems like a lot of multi-hit attacks only hit him once or so unless you have him cornered, so the easy answer is try to corner him, but the easy answer isn't so easy. Use your most powerful battle skills and try to cancel bonus them as high as possible. At this point in the game I have little along the line of Mp damagers so by all means if that works better for this (or any upcoming) boss trophy then you should take advantage of it. Defeat Crystal Statue without taking damage: This is very similar to the same task with the armor, except you'll probably have to find you're healing even less often. The hardest part of this challenge is the patience you need as you watch from afar while doing virtually nothing. Make sure you go back to save your game. Continue on further toward the end of the shrine so find another scene. Boss:
Boss Strategy: This has to be one of the most annoying bosses in the universe, and he isn't even that hard. The fact that he has so much Hp/Mp, couple with the fact that he can just fly away whenever he feels like it makes for probably the longest boss fight yet. Fortunately his only attack with the red circle is easy to dodge (though your party members are to stupid to do so) but there isn't a huge danger of actually getting game over, just taking a really really long time... Defeat Dark Eye within 1 minute: If you read the strategy you probably already know the bad news, and this challenge is as hard as you might think it is. Most definitely the hardest time challenge yet you're pitted against a boss with huge life totals that you can't even hurt half the time, not to mention you may spend a good bit of that time encased in stone if you aren't careful. Use Maria if possible to hit it with ranged attacks while it's out of reach for you and use the time it is rising up for two things: Recharging fury and raising your cancel bonus to 300%, it doesn't matter that you aren't hitting him, hopefully it will still be at 300% when he returns to the ground. Did I mention that his attacks heal him and that he usually has 100% fury when returning to the ground? Good freaking luck. Defeat Dark Eye without taking damage: Just like the normal fight except it takes even longer. Here's a tip for this battle, don't heal your party. Dark Eye's red circle attack drains Hp/Mp but it can't drain it if your party doesn't have it, so they're actually fairly safe at 1 life. Obviously for this tactic you'll need a lot of reviving items since he does have other attacks, but it'll speed things up since he won't be constantly healing. Continue up to the save point and save your game. Enter the North room and examine the orb for a scene. When you have the sacred orb return to Aquios. There's an event when you reach the throne room. Time to head to Mosel, that's West of Peterny to Surferio, to Mosel. Be sure to save in Surferio. When you leave Surferio if you took him temporarily before, Adray should permanently join now. Head through the Passage from Parch to Plenty for a scene at the end. |
