Phoenix Mini Boss (Spoiler)

[Jameskb31™ ︻デ 一 DEAF]

Level 80 boss vs level 53-55 player, wonder who win?

[Tawm]

It's an optional end-game encounter, and he's much higher level on difficulties above Simple. The level difference shouldn't matter. If you're unable to beat him, you have to upgrade your equipment.

i beat him, too easy but Vel died twice lol

[Jameskb31™ ︻デ 一 DEAF]

oh and how did i beat Titan? all i do was 0 damage

[Raggle Fraggles]

So apparenty this guy has 2 Mystic Artes, one of them activiates when you get his HP to 0 the first time.

I've reloaded this fight 7 times now and it isn;t happening though, is there any sure fire way to trigger it?

You think level 80 is bad, try to put the game on chaos and look at his level (150).

Titan (if it's actually the code red in the volcano that you are talking about) has a pretty high defense, but if you actually hit his weaknesses he goes down surprisingly fast, as he fights just like the golems, strong blows but so slow that it's easy to get out of his way (if you are not trying to do a timed side step at least).

If I remember correctly, titan actually has a full reduction on the elements he resist, but he is not like the crystal thing that resists and reflects every element at least.

Titan? I'm talking about Phoenix here, it's during Eizen's side quest.

[Gen1e]

Which level do you choose?

[Raggle Fraggles]

Right now I'm pretty sure I'm on Easy, I was gonna do the hardest difficulty after beating the game.

Does the difficulty affect it at all?

[Fel]

I know, but an other person asked about titan too.

Phoenix itself is a cheesy boss no matter the difficulty, tiny size meaning that some attacks go right over his head, high attack power (and stuns because of his high status), and a bad habit of either not using his 0HP mystic arte or using it multiple times in the same fight.

I played on chaos in my first run, but I had to put it all the way down to hard before I could realistically beat him.

The worst part is that he acted like a boss from zestiria for most of the fight (going after my allies and ignoring me that was chasing and hitting him).


All in all though, aside from his cheesy strategy and high stats, his attacks aren't that bad, he mostly uses his jump/ground pound that you can anticipate, but it does make the fight go for a long time as you are very much put on the defensive, dishing a few attacks here and there between his attacks.

A lot actually, his level and stats vary more than even the last boss, but he is definitely set as a boss that says "Do NG+ with experience multipliers and come back".

the irony here is that as soon as you posted thbis, Phoenix activated his Revive Mystic Arte haha.

Thanks though, this is guy is easily the hardest thing I've fought so far. And by hard, he just has a lot of health and actually does decent amounts of damage. That "I'm a bird" move in particualy hurts.

On Simple difficulty, Phoenix does not use his revive arte. You only have to beat him once. On Normal difficulty, I beat him four times before I lost.

He doesnt use it everytime, I tried on intense/chaos for an achievement, thinking he will use it for sure, but he didnt. But in normal like you said, he used it at the first try, thats kinda messed up

[gunvalkyrie]

I took him down on normal pretty easy by spamming stone lance with Eizen. Put it on all 4 hits of a button and just stay away from him. It'll slow him, and when he's slowed he can't heal (since you can't heal if you've got a status element). It's so fast you can recover if he gets too close and run (his AI's programmed to go after whichever character you're controlling).

I was pushing Level 63 when I got to him, but that really just gets you more HP.

[message2god]

I took down Phoenix on hard mode, all melee fighters even Velvet gets one shotted and can't do much to him at all. But Phoenix attacks are easily cheese with range attacks and his only non-immune element is earth, so Eizen is your man.
