I'm seriously not able to beat the game cause of the final boss (SERIOUS SPOLIERS)

[Igƞis]

Sooo where to start oh i know screw the recover limbs perk the final boss has it's honest to god ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suuuure i get it's supposed to make the boss not easy to beat but they being recovered in one-two turns is honest to god ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ as i try to damage the boss itself as much as i can but the limbs prove a huge distraction due to the major fact that the mini eye balls he has on his sides can buff him up super high and i know what you say ''then invert the buffs''

Yea i tried that turns out reverting his buffs while debuffing his evade is not a good plan at all I tried doing everything i can in order to make sure he would be easier to damage but it turns out knocking out all of the 200000 HP limbs causes them to recover in the next turn do you hate us Dev? i'm trying to have fun.

But it turns out it gotta be more tedious than it has too be :/ And don't get me started on the whole deleted earth part if the fight wasn't bad enough you just had to make the fight more harder than it actually had to be .

And to that i have to ask who hurt you so bad to make you add that into the final boss that can still kick my ass even though i have proper equipment proper level anything, I tried to restrain myself from writting all of this but i've had enough of your questionable design choices I choose to forgive you for putting explosive resistance on the Fallen enemies I somewhat filled with frustation from the enemies appearing from the celling in some of the parts that didn't have to have that i choose to forgive you for that but this? this? I cannot forgive you for I probably will be able to beat this boss someday but someone has to tell you that you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and now that i have got that all of my system i'm going to take an unknown amount of time away from Epic battle fantasy 5.

You can always overlevel him if need be.

what difficulty are you actualy playing on
You can dispel buffs if you havent figured that out already
even certain weapons can cause dispels and debuffs




Ive beaten it on Epic with him having over 19 million health

Playing on normal, Know how dispells work, Doesn't help when you barely get a chance to attack seeing how he does multi target attacks and his eyes and tentacles respawn over a short period of time.

i have yet to find any dispel weapons any advice where to get some?

[Din511]

Auto-revives and defense buffs
and with diffrent fully upgraded outfits you can get diffrent bonus summons
and make matt the main dmg dealer with giant slayer
you can even get 2-3 extra turns from right gear

focus on the main target and limbs that give him health

Cannot promise i will follow your advice to the fullest but i appriciate it regardless.

Wish the Dev didn't makes this boss so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in the first place, If that didn't happen i wouldn't have to write out my frustrations on this issue.

Really though, why merely dispel buffs when you can invert them with summons?

Inverting buffs when the target has a debuff of lets say evade and then reverting it? Not good not good at all.

Fun fact: The limbs respawn slower when there's more of them. Making sure that the final boss has two limbs out as long as possible is ideal. If one of them is an eye, keep it syphoned to make it basically useless. If there's two eyes, kill one off, because if two targets are syphoned, the Devourer will heal, buff and dispel everything. If there's three limbs out, kill of the one with the least health.

Time your turns for the Gigalith fight so that you get as many turns as possible to kill off the minions right when the battle starts (you may want to use the Viking Monolith summon).

The Devourer summons all minions at once three (maybe four) times: when the battle starts, two turns after firing his megadeath lazer (which happens twice, good thing it does so much damage it instantly gives you your limit breaks), and maybe right after it deletes the earth, but I'm not sure.

Yeah, most of the fun with that sort of thing is coming up with the strategy in the first place.

It's not that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
After all, it's not godcat from EBF4.
Anyway, the point to this kind of boss is not "high enough level" but "find out how he works". His patterns, and when or how he buffs, debuffs, when he does big attacks, when he regenerates, etc. And then find a counter for everything. That's basically for all bosses. And this one has some pretty clear patterns you can notice after maybe 2-3 tries.

Anyway, for some tips:
- Invert is perfect. Just don't debuff him first. Instead, buff yourself.
- Never (for most bosses) try to kill all the adds. Always leave one or two and make them harmless instead, for efficiency. It's "kill the boss" not "kill everything".
- Use not high level gear or gimmicky gear, but gear specialized against the boss.
- Dont' forget to get your gear to level up too.
- It always helps to start out with full limit bars (not that helpful in long battles, like this, though).
- Auto-revive is your friend. Auto auto-revive is more your friend (revive from gear skills). You won't have to reapply your buffs and stuff.

Godcat is easier than this guy lol.
This thread was mainly for me venting, There's no real need to give me more advice than that.

I'm still stuck on the final boss on epic since release. The big problem is having to repeat the first phase which is fairly boring and long, especially since you'd want to make sure you got full limit and to max out how many turns you get before the boss acts. I think the game could benefit from just starting at the second phase of the boss once you get to it.
