Alright, so you're trekking through the gorgeous Macalania Woods and you've run into a new foe: the Xiphos. This guy's a bit different from the others you've fought. It's not really a specific type of enemy, but it's got a decent chunk of HP to deal with.

Strategy:

• Since the Xiphos doesn't have any special defenses or elemental weaknesses, you can really use any attack or magic you have available. Don't hold back!
• Its main move is a standard physical attack that it likes to use on a single character. Keep an eye on your party's HP, especially the one it's targeting, and be ready to heal or swap them out if they get low.
• Focus your attacks on it to bring its HP down quickly. With 2,700 HP, it shouldn't take too long to defeat, especially if you're hitting it hard.
