Sub-Scenario: Central Command Gauntlet (Part 2)

Master the Central Command Gauntlet in Bravely Default Part 2. This guide details strategies for defeating Qada, Ominas, Yulyana, Mephilia, Khint, DeRosso, DeRosa, Victoria, Khamer, Braev, Victor, and Artemia.

Walkthrough:

1. Boss: Qada, Ominas, Yulyana, Mephilia
   • Level 70
   • HP: Qada 95,000, Ominas 90,000, Yulyana 99,999, Mephilia 85,000
   • Weaknesses: None

   This group opens with Qada inflicting Fire Bane, followed by potent fire magic from the others. To survive:

   • Strategy 1 (One-Turn KO): Have three Pirates use Free Lunch (Level 14) and Amped Strike (Level 14) on Qada for ~90,000 damage, then finish him with your fourth character (e.g., Salve-maker's Attack Item Amp with two 1500 damage items).
   • Strategy 2 (Status Block): Use three high-speed Ninjas or similar to attack, followed by the Spiritmaster's Stillness to block magic for two turns. Ensure your Stillness user is faster than enemies but slower than attackers.

   After defeating Qada, equip the Iceflame Shield to negate fire damage from the remaining spellcasters. Alternatively, defeat them quickly with Vampire's Firestorm or Dark Knight's Dark Nebula.

2. Boss: Khint, DeRosso, DeRosa, Victoria
   • Level 70
   • HP: Khint 95,000, DeRosso 99,999, DeRosa 90,000, Victoria 75,000
   • Weaknesses: Light (DeRosso, Victoria), None (Khint, DeRosa)

   This battle is made manageable with the Spiritmaster's Fairy Ward (5 turns) to prevent ailments like Sleep, Paralysis, Charm, Poison, and Doom. Without it, Victoria's Exterminate (vs. poisoned) and Twilight (vs. asleep) are dangerous.

   Watch out for Khint's sword attacks, DeRosso's Genome abilities, and Victoria's Dark. Use Abate Dark or the Dark Shield, and Rampart for DeRosso's hits. Reapply Fairy Ward when it expires.

3. Boss: Khamer, Braev, Victor, Artemia
   • Level 70
   • HP: Khamer 85,000, Braev 99,999, Victor 90,000, Artemia 95,000
   • Weaknesses: Dark (Braev, Victor), Fire (Artemia), None (Khamer)

   Khamer uses Hasten World, granting +1 BP to all at the end of each turn, accelerating enemy powerful moves like Meteor (Khamer), Templar moves (Braev), and Multi-Burst (Artemia). Victor uses Moderation to adjust BP.

   Strategy 1 (Quick KO): Defeat Khamer quickly using Free Lunch and Amped Strike, similar to the Qada fight.

   After Khamer is down:

   • Protect against Victor's Holy and Braev's Radiant Blast with Abate Light or the Lustrous Shield.
   • Use Rampart against Artemia's Multi-Burst if she attacks first.
   • Prioritize defeating Artemia due to her difficult-to-defend attacks. Note that Braev also knows Rampart.

   Strategy 2 (Stillness): Use three high-speed attackers followed by Stillness. Khamer's Hasten World provides ample BP for both attackers and the Stillness user.

4. Final Challenge: Braev

   Speak to Braev at the council chamber on the top floor for the final
