weird way to make the final boss fight

[Gaz Blackheart]

Spend whole game with a team of 3, then right before the final fight you have to just be solo. So you learn the whole time to play around a team then just take it away and expect it to go well? Long story short stuck on final boss.

Lets be honest, companions aren't much of a use anyway without excelently optimized gear and 400 knight affinity, which you can't get pre last boss.

And 1v1 stands are not exactly uncommon in RPGs like this.

Lower difficulty to Story mode, blitz the boss, revert difficulty to what it was.

But if you have season pass, you'll be fighting him more often, so might as well learn.

I mean they are not that useful as damage but I definitely have gotten used to having them as distractions and meat shields the whole game so the enemies are not always focused on me.

I know what you mean, tho its one of only 3 bosses you have to solo.

Still, as I've said, just lower difficulty.

just get reccomended level advantage +50 . he becomes easy , dont forget use soul shield - burst a lot and counter him with fast abilities or just get sage and one shot him with ultima if you are overleved enough

unoptimized companions keeps dying against him so they are pointless and gives distraction,disdvantage in this mission specificaly . i fouund him harder with unoptimized weak companions

I did get to second phase by using his own magic against him but how would you get +50 advantage if its the highest level area?

Forge upgrades?

Anyway, how I did him, when I was bad player is knight.

Just pick a knight, boost holy damage/break as much as possible and let him kill himself on you.

I was not aware of that, I only did each mission one time. Max I could get was the same level as the last boss plus the like, 5 extra or so from smithing

Hi Gaz,

You are correct with the max level of your gear being not much higher than what is available.

I think Lu2 may believe you are in a later part of the game.

Smithing or lowering the difficulty are the two biggest stat adjustments you can do at that point. Where the smithy hammers from those master tonberry quests would let you change the effects of your gear and upgrade them for a significant stat advantage.

And unfortunately with how the game was designed and how some of us played, the final boss became a giant roadblock instead of an opportunity to put everything we've learned to the test (mostly applying the opening tutorial and the tutorials in the first mission together). And also as a test to see what players could come up with if they had unlimited MP and break gauge.
