Scholar: How do I beat the Warden battle?

[vitamin boost]

I find the battle too difficult. I keep on dying.

Is there a way to lower the difficulty?

Either that or this game isn't really made for me. :(

i grinded enemies in the prison until about level 7 then bought a bunch of healing items. also when the warden charges up his attack make sure you defend with your party members. and also you can charge up attacks and spells with the red meter above your characters health. warden is also weak to fire.

Huh... I didn't know this game needs a lot of grinding I thought it was just straight play as go. I've been trying to fight the Warden with Emerald at Lvl 4 (for the two of us). I'm guessing I'm too under-levelled?

I tried killing both his guards, but they apparently get replaced by 2 more later. Ridiculous. :(

the little mobs give a lot of xp in the dungeon. i got to level 7 in like 5-10 minutes. it doesn't take too much grinding

I finally got to beat the warden at lvl 4 for both of us, but I had to buy a lot of HP and SP potions and used like 5 Revive potions.. jesus. I think he summoned the guard 1-2 times.

I think the trick is just to aim for Breaking. running out of SP is annoying. i wish it just naturally replenishes during a fight..like in little ticks or something. drinking potions is such a waste of a turn tbh. since both my characters only had like 250 something max HP, every 1-2 hits puts them to below 100 HP already..ugh

and the shield recharge rate of the enemy is just straight up cheating..

though emerald's random hit second skill was very useful in getting rid of the enemies' shields.. but constantly making him drink SP potions is a pain in the ass

I beat him when I was lv 5 with no revive. make sure you have some healing grape, focus on warden and ignore the rest, don't forget that emerald has skill that you can utilize, prioritize in breaking the warden's shield first and use your boost and talent after you break him. If the warden is charging put everything into breaking his shield first and don't hesitate to use some boost because in a few turn he will use a hard hitting skill.

I decided to give the game a try, and had to refund it because of that battle, this game is way too hard for me. I don't know how anyone manages to beat him, the math doesn't add up, he does way too much damage and even stuns a character so you can't keep up with healing.

its all about breaking defense.

It is actually quite easy, break the warden, use your power up charge and special ability to solo target him with fire. You want to be using your empowered attacks often.

The fight is before you have any special abilities, it was my second battle in the game, I ran into him at level 3

I'm not sure if that's even possible, but for it to be possible you would have to have completely ignored every single possible explorable path and chest. You don't really need to grind in this game, but you absolutely need to explore and involve yourself in fights. Other than that, you just use the mechanics you are taught effectively, and he goes down simply.

I found one chest and bought the cap you're able to buy, along with healing items, those didn't really help. I didn't see any other explorable paths off the main one. In any case, given the high reviews of the game I'm sure I'm in the minority that had problems with him; however he was way too difficult for me and blocked me progressing.

Exploring to get chests means you'll have some fights too and so earn some exp at the same time.

At the very start of the game, grinding can help make each character's first boss a little easier, but after that any additional grinding you do won't impact the later fights much. The more you process, the more important your equipment and job/skill choices become over your levels.

[AerialComb]

Not sure why you wanted to beat the boss with lvl 4, the game is easy beatable at lvl 7 and it wont take more than half hour to get there before the fight. If you think that is grinding, not sure if you should keep playing the game, later fight become increasingly difficult if you dont have the right equipment, level and skill set up.

[Devoras]

That's when you naturally run into him, I don't see how you're supposed to know that you need to walk around and grind enemies for a bit before you proceed. In any case, needing to grind is exactly why I hated the first game so much, so after running into that warden battle in under an hour of playing I just refunded this game. I was also very underwhelmed with the lack of compelling narrative, instead of telling an interesting story it just has you look at people 3 times to solve a problem. And then to solve the next one, you look at people 3 times. But that's a different issue to the warden battle. The game really gives a horrible first impression.
