Trails of the sky 3rd chapter- 4th plane last boss tho impossible.

[SirNikolai]

Ok I've had it with this Astarte of this Abyss Boss. Spaces arts are too slow two kill off each of the Fiends, which when 1 is finished off, Abyss just the Summons the Fiends once again after 2-3 turns. my party roughly over Lv110, but yea training doesn't matter if i get squat from the mobs in the 4th plane. So yea I'm @ lost here idk why Bandai namco made this part extremely hard for an gamer who enjoys the Legend of Heroes franchise since Cold steel 2 I've platinum back on the ps3, so i need to beat this... so it makes since if steam ever gets the Crossbell arc on here.

Diffuculty level?

[godzillaisyourdaddy]

I believe being just slightly above Lvl 110 is what is hurting you. You should be at most Lvl 115 before challenging Astarte. I recommend you farm the Shining Poms in the forest to quickly level up. The Poms spawn with the Werewolves so you have to keep fighing the werewolves to get the Poms to spawn OR you can save scum over and over again until the Pom's spawn, then save after completing the fight ( which is what I did to make it go faster).

Here is the party I used to battle Astarte on Nightmare:

LVL 117 Kevin
LVL 117 Joshua
LVL 114 Scherazard
LVL 115 Agate

On Nightmare, I used Scherazard and Agate for this one. These picks are largely story picks, since Agate wanted to fight a Devil for first time and Schera is a Bracer that trained at Le Locle, no real strategic pick made here.

At start I had Schera and Kevin use La Forte and La Crest, then used Dragon Dive or Phantom Raid to destroy the mob units, or if Schera and Kevin were not fast enough, give Agate or Joshua a Flavored Juice to boost their Strength and Defense by 20%, THEN use Dragon Dive or Phantom Raid.

For Kevin and Schera, I had them either use Clock Up Ex on each other or eat a Fluffy Crepe to give them a 10% speed boost. You can use Kevin's S-Craft when is appropriate since it does a lot of damage, especially when Strength is buffed.

After using Joshua or Agate S-craft, I mostly focused on healing and having Kevin cast Earth Guard or Earth Wall, with Joshua and Agate attacking Astarte. Occasionally, if they are fast enough, Kevin and Schera would cast Dark Matter on Astarte.

[Hagen2900]

Oh come on, don't tell him to go grind for a pushover like Astarte.

The tactics outlined are fine. Shera and Agate are good choices for this battle. Immediatly kill the adds with Phantom Raid and Dragon Dive. Alternatively, you can use Spear of Loa if you don't want Agate. Cast Clock Up Ex on everyone and use Earth Wall to defend. Buffed Agate + Joshua attack with crafts. You could also bring a strong mage to deal damage instead.

[godzillaisyourdaddy]

But.. I like being over leveled for a fight! :p

[Hagen2900]

That's fine. But giving advice that asks the OP to do menial tasks for half an hour or more is not really fair. Moreover, it's better to tell him how to fight properly than to ask him to gain more levels. There are more difficult bosses later on.

[godzillaisyourdaddy]

True enough. I wanted to recommend farming as an option, since it really does help in the long run when trying to make your party have more suvivability if you make a mistake in a fight. I see what you mean that not everyone should use their time grinding to get past an obstacle when it is not truly needed. Will be more careful next time.

[SirNikolai]

ok thx, I guess my problem is I lack earth veil & I have no vanish accessory so Joshua, Kevin 75% of the time vanish:( Not to mention the other guys can be re-summon every2-3turns which makes my healing pointless or earth guards.I have 30 Revive balms and only 1 magic move that can revive with 2000hp, if i had something higher than that than maybe its do-able. P Raid does literally no damage idk why, tho Tita's and Kevins S-crafts are the strongest.

[Hagen2900]

Uh, this sounds strange. Can you post screenshots of your equipment and orbment setups?

[frubam]

Phantom Raid is garbage against higher DEF units until it gets its upgrade(True Phantom Raid) at the appropriate level. I dunno why its such a big discrepancy in damage, but it is. Better to use Black Fang until that happens, if you continue to use Joshua.

Sure, just tell me how to copy paste or url my images onto Steam, yet different sites are tricky sometimes. It's 1am so expect the images before 8pm since i work all day Sunday. I guess my party lv is roughly an esitmate based on my favs, so some could be higher than 115 or so.

[Oguzhan]

Its not about level. I beat this guy without grinding to 115 on nightmare. What you need is some preparations.
First off speed. Speed is THE most important stat in the game. If you want you can grind gilbert on normal arena for his fool emblem which is amazing (pretty much mandatory on nightmare for later bosses).
S-Craft users SHOULD have high physical attack. For example tiger heart is really helpful for this. Also use a food item to increase your strenght too if you need.
Magic users should have mind quartz and especially high speed. I believe he is weak against gold element.
Also if you want you can cast grail sphere first (kevin should start the first turn if your speed is high enough so just choose grail on craft menu and then use healing items for kevins CP or just cast magic.

That is pretty much it. If you want you can also use zeram items on kevin too since he should do most damage to that boss.

I hope this helps.

More precisely, physical S-Craft users should have high physical attack. If you're using an ATS S-Craft, you want a Crimson Eye instead. You can compensate for the -5 spd with a fool's.

[Hagen2900]

There is only one magical S-Craft as far as I am aware.

It's more like Spear of Loa destroy that boss, let other people Earth Wall to replace Grail Sphere.. It's pushover on Nightmare with SoL, so any easier mode will be breeze... It's slightly harder if you don't equip SC carryovers but that's only for Nightmare...

I swear it's like I don't have a giant boss thread like 6 posts down (though not for long).

Astarte's on page 5 or 6. Only thing I missed is throwing on the Tiger Heart onto Agate. Should be shooting for ~2k str on both Agate and Josh if you can. If not, (because you weren't as geared as I was) that's fine. Even if Dragon Dive + Phantom Raid doesn't wipe out the exilers Dragon Dive + Phantom Raid + Dragon Dive will. Fight should be easy as hell after that.

Edit: Page 7... my bad.
