Boss: Jarvis & Jarvis’ Shadows

The Shadows have around 70 HP and can inflict Snooze. Jarvis has around 260 HP and uses Cool Breath, which deals heavy damage to the party. Veronica and Serena join the fight; Veronica attacks, and Serena heals.

  • Strategy: If Erik is Pepped Up, cast Scorched Earth. Use Hero's Cutting Edge, then Erik's Sleeper Hit. If successful, follow up with Pursecutter. Do not attempt to steal.
Tips
  • Prioritize eliminating Mud Mannequins as they can use Weird Dance to drain MP.
  • Skullriders hit hard and should also be a main priority.
  • Use the Goddess Statue to save your game and recover HP/MP.
  • Equip Erik with Medicinal Herbs as a precaution.
  • The Robber Gloves accessory increases the success rate of Erik's Half-Inch ability by 2%.
