Galem (Star Lake, Topple)

Galem is an aquatic boss found in Star Lake, Topple. It's a large, mobile creature that uses water-based attacks.

Phases & Attacks:

  • Phase 1: Water Projectiles & Charges: Galem shoots bursts of water and performs short, quick charges across the arena.
  • Phase 2: Summon Minions (Mid HP): At roughly half health, Galem will summon smaller aquatic enemies to assist it.
  • Phase 3: Whirlpool (Low HP): When near defeat, it may create a whirlpool that pulls you towards its center.

Weaknesses & Strategy:

Galem is a water-elemental boss, so consider equipping a wind-elemental spirit if available, though its weakness is not explicitly stated across all sources. The Flail can be used to pull Galem closer, but be cautious of its counter-attacks. Focus on dodging its water projectiles and charges. After a charge, it will often pause, providing an opening for melee attacks with your Sword or Flail. When minions appear, use the Flail's spin attack to clear them quickly. During the whirlpool phase, fight against the current while continuing to attack. Use Chocochomps to maintain your HP. Defeating Galem completes Chapter 2, unlocks the Bow and Arrow, and makes the 'Tess' Whereabouts' subquest available.
