Gebel fight bug?

[shinryu495]

For the record, I'm on hard mode. I just beat Zangetsu and got his katana. Every time i killed Gebel and without using any shards or anything just straight up zangetso. I didn't see him crouch at all and the moon just turns red every time after he dies. I've talked to Johannes about the gremory demon. Is there a plot point I'm missing?

Slice the moon with the katana when it turns red.

the moon never turned red during the fight so I kept hitting Gebel.

Wait it out. Dodge him a bit. It will.

If the moon doesn't turn red before he dies you're probably just doing too much damage. Equip a couple of safe rings, or hit him a few times and let your familiar do the rest.

So its time based? Or do you still have to damage him a bit? I never had this problem on normal.

Not sure

I actually think it has to do with his health. You're probably doing too much damage.

You fight Gebel until the moon turns red, then slash it with the Zangetsuto. Directly killing Gebel through any means just gets you the bad ending.

I slowed down my dps and it worked finally. i actually think itmight be a bit time based.

In my opinion gebel definetly needs more hp to not be burst down

Went there with maxed shuriken on my first playthrough and just destroyed him eveerytime.

Dang it so I was doing too much damage. I built up to a caster build so my Hellhound does 800dmg on Gebel per hit. He dies in like 3 hits lol.

Had the same problem, man. In New Game +, you are practically a powerhouse, if you continue, instead of a fresh start.

Unequip ALL passive shard bonuses (set them to off), hit Gebel only with the most basic of attacks, wait a bit, then rinse and repeat. The moon needs some time, in order to turn red. Needless to say, familiars should be unsummoned. If you want to use shards, try to summon parmas (flying pigs) and water leapers... Although, if you bothered to max ranks/grades, they deal significant damage, as well.

Take care to take it slow. Gebel dies fast.

I haven't extensively experimented with this fight, but I got a pretty strong impression that the actual trigger is damage-based while there's also a significant delay between the trigger and the moon actually turning red.

When Gebel's HP is at a certain percentage (not sure the exact number though) the moon will slowly (key word SLOWLY) change to blood red and will come more forward, which takes about 3 seconds with a delay prior. You can still hurt Gebel throughout it and unintentionally kill him before the moon changes. My advice is to space out your attacks when you think you're close. Attack, wait 5 seconds, then attack again and wait 5 more. The moon should start to change in that time frame if it's ready. Then equip the Zangetsuto (If you're not using it already) and wait for the full change.

Gebel's HP must be less than 600 ~ 500 then the moon starts to get red.

Good Luck!!
