Barthandelus One Shot

[Same]

What hte hell is this fight? I broke off all of his armor, keep myself managed well, then sudenly he uses some move called destructo or something, when my party was fully healed, and had faith and protect on and yet i get one shot? What the ♥♥♥♥ am I supposed to do about that? I've loved this game up to this point, but what the ♥♥♥♥ I can't do this fight.

Team Comp is Lightning, Hope, Fang atm.

Oh wow, okay, the solution is weirdly counter-intuitive. Instead of switch to Heal/Heal/Sentinel, which you would reflexivly do for any major named attack a boss might do, you have to just beat the ♥♥♥♥ out of it? That's really weird and idk how you'd figure that out on your own, the libra tips don't mention anything about it.

At certain damage points when charging, he will stutter and moan, Meaning his overall power is weakned, I think you can do this twice and then switching to Then to a protection setup helps a ton.

Yeah, I found that out after reading into it, that's kinda weird and a bit stupid that they don't give *any* indication of that unless you're cocky enough to fight through a named boss attack lol.

Hahahah, peoples playstlyes are their own.
This game allows you to takle it however you want.
Just a shame the the whole money economy is so dam unrewarding and what I feel too gindy at times. Meh

Yeah, the money thing is why all of my gear is pretty much crap, too lazy to grind for gil lol.

You should go for Sen/Sen/Sen for major attacks because each active Sen reduces the incoming dmg on the whole party. No need for a guard stance, the reduction effect is passive. And each role level strenghtens that effect.

You can heal later.

I say that because every boss before him never was able to one shot the leader while in heal/heal/sen.

You gotta cause as much damage as possible I think before he hits the move, I don't mean to be argumentive or contradict anyones advice but I never needed sentinel against bart (matter of fact I never needed sentinel ever), you just beat the crap out of him when he's about to do destructo and the more you hurt him the less damage it should do.

Just like odin says he should make a noise when you beat him down enough.

It really is in the early goings and you wont make tons of gil till you are very high level and even then it dont come easy. Best thing to do is replay it till you get the routine down, he use to be very hard for me now he never beats me on any playthrough.
