Boss: The Jackal and Khint

  • Level: 13
  • HP: 5000 (Both)
  • Weak to: Nothing

Strategy:

  • Avoid attacking Khint unless necessary, as he leaves midway. Focus on The Jackal.
  • Default until The Jackal Braves, then attack. Avoid going into negative BP.
  • Use all Special Moves and summon allies from the start for massive damage.
  • After exhausting Special Moves, use strong abilities like the Knight's Stomp. Avoid normal attacks due to The Jackal's high Evade.
  • Black Magic can be effective as both bosses have low magic defense, if MP allows.
Tips
  • Try to open chests while standing away from statues to avoid being Blinded by the gas.
  • If facing two enemies, use four attacks per strong character on the first turn. For three enemies, use judgment; three strong characters attacking four times can often defeat them.
  • When facing Great Caits and Sand Worms, kill the Sand Worm quickly to avoid Sandstorm criticals. Consider going into negative BP to remove annoying enemies if necessary.
  • If you have the Thief’s Knife equipped, use it in battle via the Item command to steal items and deal damage.
  • If relying on White Magic for healing, MP may run low. Consider using Potions for HP healing instead.
