Recommended Level: 60+

Party Setup: Gladiator (Sword/Axe), Paladin (Shield/Spear), Sage (Wand/Staff), Priest (Wand/Staff)

Attacks:

  • Blaze: Powerful single-target fire spell.
  • Blazemore: Extremely powerful single-target fire spell.
  • Kafrizzle: Devastating multi-target fire spell.
  • Disruptive Wave: Dispels all positive status effects on your party.
  • Meditate: Restores a large amount of his own HP.
  • Normal Attack: High physical damage.

Strategy: Baramos is a formidable Legacy Boss, requiring a highly leveled and optimized party. His fire spells are incredibly potent, so equip gear with fire resistance (e.g., Fire Shield, Flame Armor). Your Paladin should use 'Forbearance' to draw Baramos's single-target attacks, protecting your squishier party members. The Priest and Sage should focus on healing with 'Multiheal' and 'Omniheal' and reviving with 'Zing' or 'Kazing'. The Gladiator should be your primary damage dealer, using powerful abilities like 'Falcon Slash' or 'Axes of Evil'.

When Baramos uses 'Disruptive Wave', immediately reapply buffs like 'Oomph' and 'Insulatle'. If he uses 'Meditate', you'll need to out-damage his healing, so unleash your strongest attacks. This battle is a war of attrition and requires constant healing, buffing, and consistent damage output. Be prepared to use Yggdrasil Leaves and Elfin Elixirs if necessary. Mastering this fight is a true test of your post-game party's capabilities.
