Learn how to defeat the Mark of Doom, Chaugmar, in the Temple of Fire in Bravely Default. This guide covers boss stats, weaknesses, phases, and strategy.
Walkthrough
- 1The Mark of Doom (Chaugmar) is initially protected by a barrier and immune to most attacks, except those that penetrate defense, magic defense, or cause fixed damage. During this stage, use Default to build up your Brave Points (BP) and mitigate damage; keep healing too!
- 2After three turns of immunity, Chaugmar will use Transform and remove its barrier.
- 3Group-cast Cura immediately. A Salve-maker wearing Hermes Shoes is excellent for out-speeding and healing tons of HP. Provided Chaugmar didn’t critical any characters, you should also now be in a position to unleash all your fury at once.
- 4The next turn, chuck a few more attacks at Chaugmar with characters with high Speed, but don’t enter negative BP; Chaugmar will use Transform again and put up its barrier.
- 5Now the cycle will repeat. When Chaugmar reaches low HP, you can choose to go into negative BP and unleash another series of attacks the turn after your first onslaught.
- 6Should a character meet an untimely death, use the Salve-maker’s Compounding command to mix a Phoenix Down with a Potion to resurrect them with 9999 HP.
- 7Vanquish the Mark of Doom and the way will be open to perform the Rite of Awakening. As Agnes, press the X button repeatedly to channel her prayers into the crystal and restore its once glorious light.
- 8After much effort and tears, the Fire Crystal will shine bright and your quest will be three quarters through completion.
- 9Once you exit the Underflow, Egil will scurry ahead in alarm. The ore veins in the mine have all but disappeared, perhaps as a result of the Fire Crystal’s return. Return to Eisen Bridge and report the fruits of your mission to Commander Goodman.
Tips
- The White Mage ability Angelic Ward has a 50% chance of halving damage, which can save characters from an unexpected K.O.
- Performers with Got Your Back–cast twice for 150% defense–are also good for mitigating the damage from Energy Burst.
