Struggling with the Chimera boss in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes? Get a step-by-step strategy, learn its weaknesses, and discover how to use the Fire Cannon gimmick to win!

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • HP: 4837 (Normal Difficulty)
  • Elemental Weakness: Fire

Phases:

  1. Phase 1: Defeat Modified Specimen W_1155, Heavy Modified Specimen B_1929, and Synthetic Specimen R_0812. Use basic attacks and Hero Combos to conserve MP. Heal with herbs if needed.
  2. Phase 2: The Chimera appears. Focus on using Yaelu's Fire Cannon gimmick whenever it's available (deals 1,000 damage).
  3. Phase 3: After using the Fire Cannon, use normal attacks until you have enough SP for the Young Imperial Combo (Seign, Valentin, and Pohl) for heavy damage.
  4. Phase 4: If you have fire-based spells, use them to exploit the Chimera's elemental weakness.

Strategy:

  • Before facing the Chimera itself, you'll need to take down three other enemies: a Modified Specimen W_1155, a Heavy Modified Specimen B_1929, and a Synthetic Specimen R_0812. For these preliminary fights, stick to basic attacks and Hero Combos. This is crucial because you'll want to save your MP for the main Chimera fight. If your HP gets low during these earlier encounters, don't hesitate to use any healing herbs you've gathered.
  • Once it's just you and the Chimera, the key to victory lies in utilizing Yaelu's special ability, the 'Fire Cannon' gimmick. Make sure to use this whenever it becomes available, as it deals a significant 1,000 damage each time.
  • After using the Fire Cannon, have your other party members focus on normal attacks. Build up your SP (Skill Points) so you can unleash the 'Young Imperial Combo,' which involves Seign, Valentin, and Pohl. This combo deals massive damage to all enemies on screen.
  • If any of your characters have fire-based spells equipped, now's the time to use them! These will hit the Chimera's elemental weakness for even more damage.
  • Keep repeating this cycle of using the Fire Cannon, normal attacks, the Young Imperial Combo, and fire spells. With this strategy, you should be able to defeat the Chimera relatively quickly.
  • Watch out for special attacks: The Chimera has a few tricks up its sleeve. 'Guardian's Counter' means it will retaliate and deal minor damage if you attack it directly. If this happens, make sure to heal your party before resuming your assault.
  • It also regularly uses 'Build Up,' which significantly buffs the damage of its next attack. The good news is that if you use the Fire Cannon gimmick *before* the Chimera gets another turn after using 'Build Up,' you can cancel its buff and prevent the super-charged attack.
  • However, if the Fire Cannon option isn't available when the Chimera uses 'Build Up,' your best bet is to have your entire team use the 'Defend' command. This is because the Chimera will follow up with 'Hurricane Wind,' an attack that will bring everyone's HP down to below half. After this, as always, heal your party before continuing the fight.
