To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:
- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
(CTRL+C).
- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.
- Paste (CTRL+V) the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you
wanted to be. Just like magic!
My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

Well, since I've done a walkthrough for the game and there was still no Boss
FAQ, I decided to make one for you all.
Well, I hope you like both the FAQ and the game but before starting, there are
some things I want to address, so please read the following paragraphs:
- I'm writing this for free and because I'm falling in love with this game. If
you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "move here and start a
battle", you are going to be so disappointed.
- The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game,
just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely
by myself. I didn't read any spoilers, therefore nothing was spoiled for me.
All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such
effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you.
With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember
that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of
the game being spoiled.

o Important
-----------
The only sites allowed to host my FAQ's from here on out are the following:
- www.gamefaqs.com
- www.supercheats.com
- www.neoseeker.com
This is because many sites either steal my guides or they don't update them,
making it really hard on me because many readers from other sites often ask me
question from an incomplete guide, so this is a better way to keep track of my
FAQ's and my readers. Please, if you're not on the list above, don't even
bother asking about hosting them because the answer will be NO. Thanks.
-----------
I also have MSN and AIM, but please, if you add me, do NOT start bombing me
with IM. If I have the time, I'll chat to you, since I'm always busy writing
FAQ's and making some research for my job and school, but please keep it
polite, 'k? Anyway, here they are:
MSN:
[email protected]
AIM: vinh3im
Ask politely and I'll add you. I don't have YIM, so start mailing me to make
one just so you can chat with me.
Also, I created a Facebook page for you to check it out here:

This was made because several people like to add me on Facebook and since I'm
not accepting people I don't know, and I removed the people that added me
(sorry for that), I created this page, so enjoy. Also, take a look to a page

A list of all the Bosses in the game. If you're only looking for certain boss
without checking the whole guide and spoiling stuff, this is the FAQ for you.
o Overture
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: MORTE -- THE SCARLET PLAGUE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ Name: Morte
~ HP: ???
~ Strategy: Well, this is a hard battle, since it's your first battle in the
whole game. You'll only control Raja for this battle, but as soon as Morte has
a turn, she'll start using All Ahead, Blizzard and whatnot to annihilate your
party. Pretty much like Golden Sun's battle with Saturos and Menardi...
remember?
It's still possible to defeat her, if she doesn't use all her skills in the
first turn, but you'll only deal 3/4 of her health and the result will be the
same.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Mirrorsand Grotto
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: SANDWHALE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: 59
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Water
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Remember the Waterstone Shards we previously got? Well, this is
the perfect time to use them. Press A to enter the Skill/Item submenu, press A
again to use items and use the Waterstone Shards. Using 2 Waterstones will do
the job.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Dungeons
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: RAJIV/2x FERAL SOLDIER ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ Name: Rajiv
~ HP: 350
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Name: Feral Soldier
~ HP: 100
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: The Feral Soldiers do little dmg. (around 1-2 dmg. per hit against
Morte). They have 100 HP each so maybe Agan will kill each one in a turn.
Meanwhile, have Morte and Kyrie take care of Rajiv. His attacks do hurt. He can
deal up to 35 dmg. per turn, and that's on Morte.
He could probably kill Kyrie in one turn. If he does kill him, revive right
away with a Secret Remedy and when Agan finished the Feral Soldiers, have him
attack Rajiv. Use Agan's Desert's Horn to deal over 90 dmg. per hit; and if you
need to heal, use Morte's Life Skill Sanctity of Life or Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup.
You'll receive at the end of the battle 4,326 Gold and for Items: Lesser
Elixir and Underdog's Tail (note that you get these items randomly).
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Fallenmire
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: VENOMFIN ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~1,000
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: As Taupy says, this is the Lord of the swamp. Oh goody. This boss
is not that hard, but it's annoying because most of your Physical attacks won't
do any good to it. Instead, have Kyrie use Toadstool Salad all the battle,
Morte her Molotov Cocktail and Taupy his Sonic Strike. Venomfin will go down
rather quickly if your 3 characters are attacking him nonstop with their Blood
Skills.
If you need to heal, use Kyrie Life Skill to heal the team back to normal.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Viteau
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: PORCUS REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: 2,500
~ CP: 42
~ Items: Book of Arms
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Ice
+ Strong: Fire
~ Strategy: I hope you've leveled up your Blood Skills, because they'll be
very useful for this battle. Since Ice is what takes most HP, use Taupy's Icy
Strike and Morte's Blizzard. Porcus has a vulnerability against Stun, so use
Kyrie's Numbing Broth to gain a lot of turns for each one of his. Also, it's
very easy to delay Porcus' turns with Taupy's Icy Strike, so keep using it
through the whole battle while you have Kyrie (who should be the most useless
character in this battle) uses Lesser Tonics to keep the SP up.
Whenever you see that Porcus sits and opens up the mouth in its' stomach, stop
the Skills and start using physical attacks until you break his defense. Keep
using Ice skills and Kyrie to heal to end this battle quickly.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Zifnir
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: NAJA/RAJIV/FERAL SOLDIER ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ Name: Naja
~ HP: 1,100
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Ice
+ Strong: Wind
~ Name: Rajiv
~ HP: 950
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Ice
+ Strong: Fire
~ Name: Feral Soldier
~ HP: ~450
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: This is just a little bit harder than the previous battle against
Rajiv -- and the only reason for that is because he comes with Naja. First of
all, dispose of the Feral Soldier. We don't want anyone to bother us while
battling Naja and Rajiv. Once the Feral Soldier is down, focus yourself in
Rajiv.
Have Taupy use Icy Strike or Sonic Strike to deal over 190 dmg. to Rajiv. You
can put him to sleep with Kyrie's Sleeproot Sauté Skill. Have Morte follow
Taupy and use Blizzard to deal dmg. to both enemies. Naja's most powerful
attack is Cry Wolf, which deals between 25-40 dmg. to all party members.
As you can see, this battle is not hard at all. Naja tends to use Cry Wolf
more often when Rajiv is down, so be really careful and use Kyrie's Medicinal
Soup constantly whenever needed.
You'll receive at the end of the battle 49 CP, 10,605 Gold and for Items: Sage
Glasses.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Sky Gaol
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: RAJIV ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: 2,650
~ CP: 42
~ Items: None
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Ice
+ Strong: Fire
~ Strategy: Ok, this is getting repetitive. He's a bit tougher this time. He
has Wind III, which is a lot of dmg. It can also knock you into midair and
combo you up there, nearly killing you. He also has a new attack called Combo
Boost II. It's not an attack that hurts you, but when he uses 2, he transforms
into the wolf he is and deals around 60+ dmg. to the entire party. To top it
off, he's fast as ****. Seriously. He may have 2 moves per each one of yours.
Whenever he uses an attack that hits the hole party, use healing Skills to
completely recover the party. Just keep your party over 70 HP and you'll be
fine.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: LUPUS REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: 5,000
~ CP: 56
~ Items: None
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Oh, we now get to play with pops. Lupus Rex, on his first turn,
he'll probably use Battle Boost II twice to attack all party members for around
65 dmg. He also has Spark III, which is like Rajiv's Aero III. Basically, he's
just like Rajiv, only that with more HP and a little bit stronger, so the same
strategy applies here. He also has Voice of Chains, which attacks all party
members plus it can inflict Stun on all of them, which is a real pain in the
ass.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Botanical Gardens
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: RANA REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~9,200
~ CP: 66
~ Items: None
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Earth
+ Strong: Ice
~ Strategy: Rana Rex is pretty easy, even though it has a ton of HP -- and
more if you bring Taupy instead of Agan like I did the first time. Yes, Rana
Rex has over 9,000 HP, which almost doubles Lupus Rex's HP. Let me name the
attacks. He has Spark II, which is a strong Air-elemental attack to 1 character
for 34~62 dmg. He has a combo attack for 9 hits (which usually do 1 dmg. per
hit) and can inflict Venom, so cure it ASAP with Antidotes and/or Kyrie's Life
Skill.
He also has Bad Breath, which deals 35~40 dmg. to all characters, plus it can
inflict Stun to all. Use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to heal some HP and cure Stun.
Another and most annoying attack, Sleep Gas, which has 100% accuracy to inflict
Sleep on all 3 characters. I hope you have enough HP, because after this
attack, he'll have several turns ahead of you, so he can deal quite the dmg.
Just like Lupus Rex, he has Battle Boost II, which he'll use his Follow-up
attack to inflict heavy dmg. to all 3 characters (between 50~80 dmg.). Just try
to keep your HP over 80 and you'll be fine. As for spells, do not use them as
they inflict so little dmg. and you should spend it for useful things like
healing.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Azure Tower
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: AZURE SEA ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~17,000
~ CP: 123
~ Items: None
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Earth
+ Strong: Water, Air, Fire
~ Strategy: Alrighty, we have to targets. Focus on the body first. If you
already have your Flurries chained, Kyrie will be doing over 550 dmg. Have
Morte use Army of Me in the first turn she gets so she can deal massive dmg.
Make sure you bring into the battle Kyrie, Morte and Taupy. We need Taupy's
Second Wind just in case any character dies, Taupy can revive him/her. Don't
even bother inflicting status ailments nor using skills, as most of them as
useless against him.
For Azure Sea's attacks, he has Bolt of Lightning, which is Air dmg. to one
character that deals 36~120 dmg. He likes to use it twice in a row and on the
same character. What a pain. Purifying Rain, deals 20~30 dmg. to the entire
party. Water III is another pain. It deals 45~63 dmg., so heal up right as you
can.
After you deal around 6,500 dmg. to the body, he'll go underwater and only
raise the head. He now has more attacks. He has Tempest, which is basically
Bolt of Lightning, only that it hurts all the party. Take extreme caution
fighting only the head, as it has the tendency to attack and attack and attack
the same character over and over until he uses his follow-up attack that deals
50~85 dmg. to all characters.
He also starts using Healing Boost, which is practically Regen and heals
around 400 each of his turns. What a pain man. Basically, this is an endurance
fight. He heals a lot, and you should too with one of your BP. There's nothing
else I can write for here, other than keep your HP over 120 and you're good.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Serpens' Lair
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: SERPENS REX/MORTE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ Name: Serpens Rex
~ HP: ~10,400
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Air
+ Strong: None
~ Name: Morte
~ HP: ~700
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: This battle can be hard. Not because of her HP, nor the dmg., but
because she can confuse you, killing Morte (most probably). Simply use Flurry
attacks with Rhi'a, Taupy and Kyrie, but do not use Special attacks, since
you'll be attacking Morte too. Whenever you need healing, use whoever you can
to heal up. Whatever you do, DO NOT attack Morte.
As for attacks, she has Demon's Soul, which deals 35~60 dmg. plus it can
Confuse you. Nice. He also has Shadow III, which deals 30~70 dmg. to a single
character. Temptation deals dmg. to your party, plus it can confuse you too.
She doesn't deal that much dmg. (well, in comparison to Azure Sea), but when
she confuses you, use Kyrie's Medicinal Soup to cure it. Demon Stench deals 50~
70 dmg. to all the party, so heal up afterwards. She has other attacks, but
they're the same and can inflict Confuse, so that's your number 1
preoccupation.
Taupy's Second Wind comes in real handy. If you have 2 characters dead (I had
Rhi'a and Kyrie dead and Taupy with 3HP o_O), use it to gain full strength and
beat the crap out of Serpens Rex. She also has an attack in which physical
attacks won't hurt her, so use Air-elemental Blood Skills to take her out.
You'll receive at the end of the battle 86 CP, 17,359 Gold and for Items:
None.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Mechto
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: AQUILA REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~3,800
~ CP: 140
~ Items: None
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Earth
+ Strong: Air
~ Strategy: Aquila Rex is actually quite hard, since you only have Morte and
Kyrie for battle. He's in the air, so no combos from your Flurries. Dammit.
Kyrie should easily get to 6 BP in every turn. Just use your Air Flurry with
him to deal 250+ dmg. per Air Flurry, so with 4 you do in 1 turn takes around
1/4 of his health. The physical attacks deal around 0~1 dmg. to Kyrie.
Seriously. His other attacks deal around 50 dmg. His special attack deals
between 0~5 dmg.
If Morte dies on you, don't even worry on reviving her. She has low DEF and
Aquila Rex likes to attack her whether she has War Paint on or not. If you
want, you could try to use a Stoneskin Potion to increase Morte's DEF, but if
she keeps dying, just let her dead.
As for attacks, he has Godspeed, which increases drastically his SPD. Feather
Shot deals around 45~55 dmg. to one character. Wind III does 50~65 dmg. to one
character. Storm II does 15~20 dmg. to both characters. Like all bosses, he has
Battle Boost II, which is a pain.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Tower of Earth
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: STRANGE BOULDER ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~7,500
~ CP: 11
~ Items: Golden Shard
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Air
+ Strong: Earth
~ Strategy: This Boss is not that hard. His Rock II Skill deals 15~25 dmg. to
all characters. What you should be worried about is its physical attack that
deals 120~150 per hit and he likes to use it twice in a row in the same
character -- that means almost always if not always a KO. Taupy's Second Wind
works wonders in this battle.
That's about it. This boss really doesn't do much.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: GOLDEN EARTH ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~15,500
~ CP: 53
~ Items: Golden Stone
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Air
+ Strong: Earth
~ Strategy: Ok, the second Primal Lord. He's not as though as Azure Sea, but
he's still not an enemy to underestimate. I really recommend bringing Rhi'a and
Taupy in this battle. Taupy, besides being an excellent physical attacker, he
has Second Wind and that saves us from using items and ending out turns. Rhi'a,
if you have her 3 Flurry attacks chained, and Blaze Gun, you'll be dealing
2,700+ dmg. per attack.
As of its attacks, he has Clay III, which deals 50~80 dmg. to one character.
His physical attack deals around 70 dmg. which is not bad. Rock II deals around
30 dmg. per character. Try to heal every turn, since we want out HP high. His
special attack is the dangerous one. It can deal all the way from 80 dmg. to a
whopping 215 dmg. Make sure to heal after this. These are all of his attacks,
and he likes to combo 2 or 3 Clay III on one character in the same turn, so
please keep your HP up.
When he's almost dead (around 14,000 dmg.), he'll gain Untiring Defense, which
makes your attacks hit for 5~10 per hit. That sucks. Just keep attacking and
healing until it dissipates or he dies.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Valley of Dragons
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: NAJA ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~5,000
~ CP: 67
~ Items: Sirius Shoes, Sage's Glasses
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Ok, this is a joke of a boss. Your attacks deal 1,000+ dmg. That
means like 2,500+ dmg. per turn. Yes. 2-3 turns and he's dead.
As for attacks, his physical attacks deal around 10~20 dmg. per hit. Outcry
deals 30~40 to all characters.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Albion Greenwood
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: ELEPHAS REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~13,500
~ CP: 118
~ Items: Book of Mind, Twisted Horn
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: Water
+ Strong: Fire
~ Strategy: I recommend bringing Taupy and Rhi'a to this battle. We need all
the muscle we can get and Naja and Agan are weak... very weak. You must be
quick and accurate in this battle. There's one move that Elephas Rex has where
he puts up a shield where you practically do nothing to him (around 0~9 dmg.
per hit). Just keep attacking and healing until it dissipates.
The good thing is that he doesn't have a ton of turns like the previous
bosses. His physical attack deals 40~70 dmg. per hit. He has Clay III, which
deals 45~60 dmg. to one character. He has Grand Guise, which adds DEF and Regen
that heals for 400+. Just like Azure Sea... what a pain! His Special Attack
deals 80~120 dmg. to all characters.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Depths of Memory
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: NOCTUA REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~12,000
~ CP: 116
~ Items: Book of Mind
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Ok, this boss is hard if you don't prepare yourself. Make sure to
equip Rhi'a and Taupy an accessory to increase AGL: Sonic Heels, Speed Shoes or
Sirius Shoes (although it has a broken heart) so they get the first turns. In
her first turn, have her use Crystal Voice to cancel his damn uppercuts that is
an Air Follow-up combo plus leaves him in the air. If you have 3 BP, use
another one to use Alluring Voice to cast Regen. Now use the last BP to attack.
Probably Noctua Rex will have a turn at this point. Now, if Taupy is next,
have him use both True Faith and Pride's Fang to increase ATK and DEF of the
party. With this, we are now prepared to battle.
Note that all dmg. calculations will be based on your party having True Faith
on. For his attacks, he has his physical attacks that deal now around 10~15
dmg. per hit [it used to hit for 30~45 per hit. and it was almost a KO]. He
also has Nightmare which deals 15~30 dmg. to all characters. The rest of his
attacks deal around 30 dmg. max to either 1 or all characters.
With what you did in the beginning of the battle, you made the battle a lot
more easier. You won't have a problem with this battle. Just keep using Rhi'a's
Crystal Voice every 2-3 turns just to be sure.
==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---=====
o Tower of Wind
--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: JADE ZEPHYR ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~12,000
~ CP: 260
~ Items:
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Start of like you did with Noctua Rex. Use Rhi'a's Crystal Voice
to put Debuff Ward and have Taupy use True Faith and Pride's Fang. Jade Zephyr
will now be airborne. You need to attack her at least 10 times to dissipate her
shield and do some good dmg.
Her attacks. Her physical attack does 20~25 dmg. per hit... and she hits you
17 times! That's around 360 dmg. WTF!!! Lulling Zephyr does little dmg., around
5 dmg. to all characters, but it can put you to sleep, so that's no good at
all. Ill Wind does random dmg. It can do from 50 dmg. all the way to 379 dmg.
(yeah, my Kyrie received that amount of dmg.) But that's not the worse part.
When she uses Ill Wind, her wind shield goes back up, so yeah, that's not good
at all.
Netherworld is another of her attacks. It deals 35~50 dmg. to one character.

--=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===-----
~-~ BOSS: LACERTUS REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~12,000
~ CP: 116
~ Items: Cube of Destruction
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: Lacertus Rex... thankfully is not as hard as Noctua Rex nor Jade
Zephyr. Just use True Faith and Pride's Fang to make things a lot
easier/faster. Watch out for his attacks, because they can do a lot of dmg. You
must heal right after he uses Ray III.
For attacks, he has Physical Attack which does 5~20 dmg. per hit to one
character. Ray III does 200 to one character. Cannon II does 50 dmg. to all
characters while Cannon III does 100 dmg. to the whole party. His special
attack deals around 15~120 dmg. to the whole party.

~-~ BOSS: LACERTUS REX ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~14,000
~ CP: 136
~ Items: Cube of Destruction
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: Fire
~ Strategy: Oh boy, he's the real one this time. Make sure that Rhi'a casts
Crystal Voice ASAP, and Taupy True Faith and Pride's Fang. We need all the DEF
and ATK that we can get. Keep yourself healed at all times. Try to keep your HP
full because if he boosts his ATK and you don't have Taupy's True Faith on,
it'll most probably kill you. Kyrie's Gift of Life and Taupy's Second Wind are
a great help keeping your party alive, but if you need to use a Flask of
Wonder, go on ahead and use it.
As a matter of fact, it's best if you have Taupy cast True Faith and Pride's
Fang every turn, and have Rhi'a cast Crystal Voice.
Lacertus' attacks. His physical attacks deal 50~70 dmg. to one character. His
special attack deals 70~120 dmg. to the whole party. Azure Sea, Jade Zephyr and
Golden Earth deal the same amount of dmg. (20~60) but of their corresponding
element [Water, Air and Earth]. Divine Arsenal deals 400 dmg. to 1 character.
Watch out for his Jade Zephyr attack, because it can both Poison you and Blind
you, so you won't be able to use skills, which are the most important thing in
this battle.
He also likes to use Blade Ward, which nullifies physical attacks. What a
pain. Use Blood Skills until it wears off. He can also increase his attack
power, his speed, defense, cast Regen on himself and nullify elemental dmg.
(you'll know which element by the color of his shield), so if he's invulnerable
to elemental attacks and physical attacks, use Cubes of Destruction and Cluster
Bombs to deal non-elemental dmg. to him.

~-~ BOSS: THE CREATOR ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
~ HP: ~50,000
~ Elemental Affinity
+ Weak: None
+ Strong: None
~ Strategy: There are 2 final bosses, but the good thing is that this one
isn't that hard. She's "easier" than Lacertus Rex. Yes, I mean that. She
doesn't have that many turns and she doesn't step in every time you attack her,
so make sure you're healed all the time, you have Buffed your ATK and DEF, as
well as having protection against Debuffing.
Attacks. Deponere deals 60~70 dmg. to the whole party. Ray III deals 200 dmg.
to 1 character. Cannon III deals 100 dmg. to the entire party. Colligite deals
40~60 dmg. to the whole parte. Amittimus is an attack that deals 20~40 dmg. to
the whole party. She can also cast Regen on herself, recovering 1,500+ HP per
turn.
Overall, this battle is a breeze compared to Lacertus Rex. You'll have no
problems at all. Once you're done with this battle, you'll start the second
round, or should I say, second phase.

~ Second Phase ~
~ HP: ~30,000
This phase of The Creator has 3 targets. Two in the upper screen and 1 below.
I really recommend you taking out the flashing orb at the bottom (it should
have like 6,000 HP or so), then focus on the angel-looking target (the upper
one) and finally focus all your strength on the core, the central target. You
should take this battle just like the previous one.
Keep yourself healed at all time, use 1 BP with whoever's turn it is to heal,
then attack. Keep your ATK and DEF Buffs up, so you can deal a lot of dmg. per
combo and you receive less. Make sure you use at least one Rhi'a's Crystal
Voice to protect you.
As for attacks -- she has a physical attack that hurts for 10~50 dmg. to all
characters. He has a second physical attack that targets 1 character for 10~30
dmg. She also has the Deponere, Colligite and Amittimus attacks from the
previous phase and they deal the same dmg. so you shouldn't worry about dmg.
that much. He newest and most dangerous attack is Fortuna, which deals 500+
dmg. to one party member, so if he/she is killed, use Gift of Life or Second
Wind to gain your full strength.
