How To Beat The Final Boss 101

Sometimes it's as easy as autobattling.

The Emperor

Step 1: equip the Blood Sword
...Aaaaand, that's it. Done. You did it. You saved the world.

I actually managed to do this without the "grinding" of which you speak, and even made a guide on how anyone can do it. Basically, just do the weapon swaps I suggest and use your magic as often as possible without running out of MP for non-Red Soul bosses. In fact, I only needed the Blood Sword to keep Leon alive, not strictly win the fight.

I think you can get them as a very rare drop on rare spawns, but honestly that's way too much time invested. You'd better off just killing the Emperor the old fashioned way.

sold my blood sword, uhg. can I get it back?

[三Akiyama]

Ultima is quite bad lol, you need to grind your spells like crazy to make it even worth using.

You'd think it'd be Ultima that does the big bad in but, nope. Blood Sword is more powerful than Ultima confirmed.

It does % damage, and it even works against bosses. Quite funny how Excalibur is less useful than it!
