Alright, let's get you prepped for some tough boss fights in Chained Together! We've got the Sandworm, the Kraken, and the Forgotten Mantis coming up. Don't worry, I'll walk you through each one so you can grab those sweet Grimoire Shards.

BOSS 3: KRAKEN

Okay, so you knew this big guy was coming, right? Good thing we've got Glenn and Kylian with us, because this fight would be brutal without them. Kylian's going to have to play healer at some point, no doubt. Ideally, you'll get through this without needing to chug items or even use Glenn's TP move, but it can definitely help if you're in a pinch.

This is a pretty fun fight, but the real challenge comes from the THREE tentacles. They each have different jobs. Your first priority should be the 'Healing Tentacle' – take it out ASAP. The other two are a Physical Tentacle and a Magical Tentacle. They just dish out damage, but that healing one can restore up to 50 HP at a time, which is just not gonna fly.

Here's the game plan: Sienna and Kylian should be hitting everything with their area-of-effect attacks. Try to get 'Bleed' on that healing tentacle with Sienna, and maybe on the others too depending on your Overdrive Gauge. Don't forget to use Glenn to 'Armor Break' the healing tentacle!

Keep Sienna and Kylian hammering away at everything. If you get a chance, use 'Petal Storm' – it's a huge help. When the healing tentacle is almost dead, have Glenn unleash his 'Power Armor Salvo' Ultra move to finish it off and deal some solid damage to the other tentacles.

Once you do that, the remaining tentacles will get some buffs. The Magic Tentacle gets a 'Hit All' move, and the Physical Tentacle gets an 'Attack Buff'. Not ideal, but they should be pretty close to defeat by this point. Focus them down one by one. If you can manage it, try to STEAL from the Physical Tentacle – it's got an item you'll want.

The Kraken itself isn't too threatening before it gets those buffs. It attacks three times a round: two attacks and one heal. Expect 'Tentacle Pierce' or water magic for about 20 HP damage each time. You can take a few of those before you really need to worry about healing.

After the fight, you'll snag another [_GRIMOIRE SHARD_]. Seems like we get one for every boss, which is pretty sweet!

BOSS 4: FORGOTTEN MANTIS

So, we couldn't just run from this demon thing forever, could we? This is actually a decent fight because this boss can genuinely threaten to wipe your party. Before we dive in, remember you can STEAL from this guy! Have Sienna swipe a [_STURDY AKETON_] from it – it's an upgrade for Lenne, at least, so definitely worth grabbing.
