Defeating Chibi Xenanu

For those who are having trouble defeating this optional miniboss.

Prelude

Hey, I was working on the page for Xenanu on the ONISM Wiki[www.onism1999.com] and decided to crosspost the stuff I wrote here since I thought it'd be helpful to some of you gamers out there. Feel free to leave any comments if you have any questions.

Strategy

Defeating Chibi Xenanu relies heavily on the bandages found in Alex's home. Without them your chances to win the battle are minimal. Gauze Bandages will fill your Karta with 3 bandages, which will allow you to tank a lot of damage.

Your first priority in the battle is to get Chibi Xenanu bleeding as SOON as possible. A good way to do this is to attack and get rid of their first Karta, and use LP Toss to take out their remaining two and get them bleeding. Use a PP restoring item to use LP Toss early (explore Frankton for some if you don't have any.) You can also try defending, which will reduce damage taken and give you 5 PP. It can be risky since it takes a bit longer for Alex to recover and be able to have a turn again.

After they get into the bleed state, start using your gauze bandages. If they manage to miss or if you're feeling confident, attack again to lower their LIFE even further.



Chibi Xenanu can summon Smiles, and these can easily mess up your attempt. If you're able to, attack one to take it out, but don't kill the other one and use bandages to tank more damage. As long as one Smile remains, Chibi Xenanu will not try to summon enemies again. This should reduce the overall damage received. Eventually, Chibi Xenanu will bleed out and you can kill the last Smile and win the battle- your reward being a new Karta known as The Silver Spoon.
