This fight can be hella hard if you are a little underleveled, and is ridiculously hellish if you try to do it without Guillo's hit-all EX Combos.
Why might I need to act quickly, you ask?īecause Verus can revive tentacles at full HP. You can maybe manipulate your MP if you time everything juuuuuuust right to get back to 5 MP almost instantly, but it's tough to do and I didn't pull it off this time. Unfortunately, doing either eats up my MP, leaving me without much to unload on Verus himself.
I'm a high enough level that even Subzero Festival works to kill all of the tentacles. Using Frigid Queen's Festival should be enough to kill them all. As such, you need to finish of the tentacles first. Even using hit-all specials are useless whether you target Verus or not. If you try, the tentacles will defend him and nothing will take any damage. You see, if any of the tentacles are alive, Verus cannot be harmed. Verus has a pitiful 4000 HP, and yet he can be incredibly difficult to kill. These bots are actually weaker than the ones we fought to get here, which is really really good because of the battle's main gimmick. The second wave is also throwaway, but since my hand carries over into the third phase (that is, the phase that's important), I try to get Subzero Festival or Frigid Queen's Festival set up at the end of phase two.Īnd finally, we come to fight Verus himself, with four tentacle buddies. I usually try to end it with some form of icy EX Combo from Guillo to boost it's defense (many of them have that passive effect), but I'm not sure it makes any significant difference. The first fight is pretty much a throwaway battle. These guys seem to exist mostly to weaken you a bit (not that that works since the Book of Mana exists) and for you to charge up your MP a bit. First of all, it is a three phase fight, with the first two phases being against these robot tentacles. I guess he's lying about just about everything, huh? Verus throws his cane aside and stomps the ground with his bad leg. Something in my heart is telling me to destroy you! That's all I need to hear! Now die, Verus! They're waiting for you in hell! Look! Aren't they wonderful? So much easier to manipulate than people!
I just finished my adjustments to the machina.
