Atlas is a powerful giant often encountered as a mini-boss or a guardian in a late-game dungeon, such as the Dragon's Horn or a hidden cave. He possesses immense physical strength and can deal heavy damage with his regular attacks. He typically does not use spells but relies on brute force. Recommended Party Level: 20-25.

Strategy:

  • Prince of Midenhall: Focus entirely on physical attacks. Equip your strongest weapon and armor.
  • Prince of Cannock: Primarily on healing duty with Healmore. If healing is not urgent, use Attack to contribute damage.
  • Princess of Moonbrooke: Cast Explodet or Firebane. Her offensive spells are very effective against Atlas due to his lack of magic resistance.
  • Items: Have plenty of Herbs and Magic Water on hand.

Atlas is a straightforward damage race. Keep your party's HP high, especially the Princess, as she is vulnerable to his powerful physical strikes. The Prince of Midenhall should be able to tank most of his hits, but consistent healing from Cannock is essential. Explodet from the Princess will be your fastest way to defeat him.
