Learn how to defeat the bosses Chaugmar and Gigas Lich in Bravely Default. This guide covers their weaknesses, attack patterns, and effective strategies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Boss: Chaugmar
    • Level: 48
  2. 2
    HP: 70,000
  3. 3
    Weak to: Lightning, Demon
  4. 4
    Chaugmar's Pattern:
    • Turns 1-3: Barrier active, immune to normal attacks. Use attack items (e.g., Pantheon's Wrath) for fixed damage, or defense-penetrating moves (Vampire's Fireball). Alternatively, use Pierce Magic Defense (Black Mage Level 12) with thunder spells.
  5. 5
    Turn 4: Uses Transform to drop barrier.
  6. 6
    Turn 5: Uses Energy Burst for massive physical damage. Default (with Templar's Default Guard), Utsusemi, or Rampart to mitigate damage.
  7. 7
    Turn 6: Unleash all saved BP for maximum damage.
  8. 8
    Turn 7: Uses Transform to raise barrier, repeating the cycle.
  9. 9
    After defeating Chaugmar, awaken the Fire Crystal.
  10. 10
    Proceed to the Earth Crystal at the top of Eternia's Everlast Tower.
  11. 11
    Boss: Gigas Lich
    • Level: 48
  12. 12
    HP: 100,000
  13. 13
    Weak to: Light, Undead
  14. 14
    Absorbs: Earth
  15. 15
    Gigas Lich's Pattern:
    • Each turn: Uses Negative Power to slowly raise its physical and magic attack.
  16. 16
    Also uses Slam (heavy physical damage) and Quaga (earth damage).
  17. 17
    Use Utsusemi or Rampart to block Slam.
  18. 18
    Use Abate Earth or Earth Charms to defend against Quaga.
  19. 19
    Combat Negative Power with Dispel or abilities that lower physical/magic attack.
  20. 20
    Casts Death (instant-death) early in the battle. Ensure Safety Rings are equipped and have a fast resurrection method (e.g., Salve-maker's Job Command, White Magic Arise).
  21. 21
    Watch out for Fear, which inflicts Dread. Use Esuna or Esunaga to restore confidence and re-enable Brave/Default commands.
  22. 22
    Optional: Use Bravely Second to cast Elixir/Megalixir to drain its HP.
  23. 23
    After defeating Gigas Lich, awaken the Earth Crystal.
  24. 24
    With all four crystals awakened, the Holy Pillar reappears in the south-eastern seas. Signal Grandship and navigate it into the Holy Pillar.
Tips
  • For Chaugmar, if you lack strong thunder spells, focus on attack items or defense-penetrating abilities.
  • For Gigas Lich, prioritize having Safety Rings and a reliable way to revive fallen allies due to the early Death spell.
  • Consider using Bravely Second on Gigas Lich with an Elixir/Megalixir for a quick victory if you're struggling.
  • Awakening the Fire Crystal.
  • Awakening the Earth Crystal.
  • Unlocking the path to the Holy Pillar.
