Defeat the Forest Boar in Eternal Strands with this guide. Learn its attacks, weaknesses, and strategies to earn the Bamboo Shaft and advance.
Walkthrough
- 1The Forest Boar has 25,250 HP and its attacks can quickly defeat your party.
- 2Its physical attack hits multiple times, and its head swing during Winning Shot can hit adjacent party members.
- 3War Cry creates a shockwave affecting multiple targets.
- 4Charge is its most powerful attack, dealing over 500 damage if unblocked, but it consumes the entire turn on the Action Gauge (a real-time gauge that decreases once the first move is made).
- 5Prioritize healing with items over Special Attacks, as party members' Light Special Attacks have low healing power and sunlight is scarce in the arena.
- 6Attack the Forest Boar's sides or back, as it cannot block these areas. Avoid aiming for its face unless necessary.
- 7A viable strategy is to attack and then retreat to avoid its close-range attacks.
- 8Keep Polka in the shade to heal with Peach Cookies and use Shade Comet from a distance. Have Frederic use physical attacks and Pie Grave up close.
- 9After defeating the Forest Boar, your party level will increase to Level 2.
- 10Search the area for Score Piece 29.
Tips
- The Forest Boar cannot block attacks to its side or back.
