Gau's Rage Ability Guide

Gau's Rage Ability Guide

Gau is a wild child found in the forests of South Figaro, possessing the unique ability to 'Rage'. This allows him to mimic the attack patterns and special abilities of monsters he has encountered in battle. Mastering Gau's Rage ability is key to unlocking his full potential and adding a versatile fighter to your party.

To use Gau's Rage ability, you must first encounter a monster. During combat, select Gau's 'Rage' command. This will bring up a menu of monsters Gau has previously encountered. Choosing a monster will cause Gau to transform into a berserk state, adopting that monster's appearance and using its unique set of skills. Each monster Gau 'Rages' into has a distinct set of attacks, ranging from powerful physical strikes to elemental magic and status-inflicting abilities.

Here's how to effectively utilize Gau's Rage:

• Encounter New Monsters: To learn new Rages, you must fight various monsters. Gau will automatically learn a Rage if he participates in a battle where a monster uses a specific skill.
• Experiment with Rages: Different Rages are effective against different enemies. Some Rages offer high damage, while others provide utility like healing or debuffs. Experiment to find the best Rage for each situation.
• Gau's 'Leap' Command: In some versions of the game, Gau also has a 'Leap' command which allows him to instantly use a learned Rage without going through the menu.
• Key Rages to Learn: Some particularly useful Rages include those that inflict powerful status effects (like Sleep or Poison), elemental attacks that exploit enemy weaknesses, or high-damage physical attacks.

Gau's Rage ability makes him incredibly adaptable. He can fill various roles in your party, from a primary damage dealer to a support character, depending on the monster he Rages into. Learning which monsters offer the most beneficial Rages is crucial for maximizing his effectiveness throughout the game.
