need help with final boss: spoiler

[Ralz]

You never encountered Death?? It's the only way I have died! Going to give it another attempt very soon, having a bit of a break. Have to finish this by tonight. The ending better be worth it.

For that one attempt, though. Every other time was either statuses or Death. I hate this phase! D8<

Can't you poison the second form?

Anyway, the main thing about the second boss for me was to heal up after every Merciless Judgment. Also, be sure to start healing your party to full as the second form is about to come out of Stagger, as it counterattacks with Merciless Judgment.

Also, the thing that was hard about this boss was the status ailments, so I had to swallow my pride to use Hope for his Veil spell to keep my party protected from the nasty AoE move that inflicts random ailments, or you could just equip items to protect against these.

Like every boss in the game, just keep your HP high after Merciless Judgment, unleash your fury until the boss staggers, get your hits in, heal up before its Stagger is almost up, heal up after the Merciless Judgment. Rinse and repeat.

Makes this fight a joke!! I always used Hope on Boss fights since its easy to tell when big attacks are comming, never had trouble keeping him alive.
