how to beat termite queen (on normal difficulty)??

[heime2003]

it spawns a termiter or a termite solder once his health drop below 50%. then it eats to regain his hp. 500 or 4000 pts depending on how much hp are left when a termite was devoured. i tried to focus attack the queen or kill spawns first so the queen doesnt replenish his health. neither has worked. maybe dps of my party is not high enough(i saw youtube video where people just deal 4000 damage to finish it) but i dont like to be in overleveled or do grinding. is there any condition to trigger the queen to decide to eat its spawn? (on my first attempt, it didnt eat too many but after that it spawns even 2 minions)

Use Stun atks and FFA 2 Formation.

stun attack doesnt work on bosses in most of cases. also it lasts just one turn, doesnt it?

Some bosses can be stunned. The termite queen is one of them. Stunning her keeps her from spawning more termites.

Kill it until it dead. Good strategy.

For what it's worth, not all bosses have full immunity to everything- if you see a 'res' popup when trying to apply one then that's the tell that a boss is immune. Otherwise? Keep trying and it might just land.

In fact, as far as I can tell, if an enemy doesn't have an "X Res." popup when you use an ailment on them, that means they're not immune.

Stun only lasts for one round, sure, but as long as you can have one person stun the Queen every round, she's helpless.

Make sure everybody has a way to hit her weaknesses; earth magic is great here since she's both weak to it and earth has a group stun. My other advice would be to conserve your BP early on in the fight. As she gets lower on HP, she starts spawning termites that have more HP and eating them more often, and when she does that, you'll need to go all-out to do as much damage and keep her stunned as often as you can.

Worse case scenario, if none of this is helping you can come back to this boss later when you've unlocked more techs/gear/spells/units. Due to the open nature of the game, you can take on areas and bosses that might be higher than your difficulty curve; you'd face an extra challenge and possibly get rewards earlier than usual, but it means you might face a difficulty you're not ready for.

I just stunned her a lot with Stun Slash or Entangle, and used Heatwave or Stone Shower or Mirage Blade whenever she summoned a Termitator.

Bring a Female Ranger with you to make use of Corruptor to get Entangle stuns more reliably.

And yeah... Just spam AOE spells/techs when she summons a Termitator, and keep her stunned. Do that and you should be fine.

Here's something that'll save you some trouble-

Most bosses in the game are vulnerable to at least one of stun, sleep, or paralyze.

Only the Seven Heroes are guaranteed to have full status immunity.

as others said, stun her, stun is how you'd compeltely shut her down in the original and the remaster and it stills works here, just need to make sure the characters who can stun are fast

[Laruni]

You can overpower her and her adds with Water Magic (Lv.~20+ on each character) and spamming Water II on everyone and healing as needed. I used Heavy Infantry, Mercenary (F), Vagabond (F), Ranger (M), and Court Mage (M) with Cyclone Squeeze. Termites are weak to Water so you get lots of chances to use Overdrive, good to save it until your Court Mage is up. Near the end when she starts laying more eggs just lean on Cyclone Squeeze hard to make up for all her Devouring.
