Chained Together Dream Eater fight strategy, including Pitch Black Darkness and orb mechanics. Learn how to beat Star-Pilot Row.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Dream Eater attacks physically for around 35 damage.
  2. 2
    Its 'Pitch Black Darkness' attack deals 25-35 damage to everyone and changes the environment, sometimes revealing a Paralysis Shroom.
  3. 3
    'Pitch Black Darkness' also spawns two new enemies: the SPIRIT ORB and the FLAME ORB.
  4. 4
    Both orbs are weak and can be defeated in 1-2 hits.
  5. 5
    Defeating the SPIRIT ORB restores 100 TP to the killer.
  6. 6
    Defeating the FLAME ORB causes it to explode, dealing 15-20 damage to everyone. Plan who kills the Spirit Orb to restore TP and be ready to heal from the Flame Orb's explosion.
  7. 7
    The Dream Eater uses 'Covered in Shadow' to gain HP REGEN.
  8. 8
    Warning: Immediately use Lenne's 'Cleanse' move to remove HP REGEN whenever 'Covered in Shadow' is active, even if it interrupts other actions.
  9. 9
    Apply poison and bleed status effects to the Dream Eater.
  10. 10
    Use a Glenn >>> Lenne combo with 'Oil Strike' and 'Fire Thrust' for high damage.
  11. 11
    Have Victor use buffs or TP Regen when possible.
  12. 12
    Defeat the Dream Eater to receive a Grimoire Shard.
  13. 13
    For the Star-Pilot Row fight, note that Row is weak to water and strong to wind.
  14. 14
    Steal a [_COPPER NUGGET_] from Row early in the fight.
  15. 15
    Row's normal attack hits one person for about 50 damage.
  16. 16
    His 'Strong Laser' attack hits for about 65 damage.
  17. 17
    'Paralyze Flash' can hit everyone with a chance to paralyze them.
  18. 18
    Warning: When Row uses 'Counter Stance' (a buff), DO NOT attack him.
  19. 19
    Attacking during 'Counter Stance' triggers 'Drone Thunder', which will leave most of your party at 1 HP.
  20. 20
    During 'Counter Stance', use this time to buff your party (Sienna's critical buff is useful), defend, or use items.
  21. 21
    'Counter Stance' will wear off.
  22. 22
    Hit Row with water moves from Lenne and apply poison/bleed.
  23. 23
    Use Glenn's ultimate move for an easier fight.
  24. 24
    Defeat Star-Pilot Row to receive a Grimoire Shard.
Tips
