Alright, so you're tackling the Fides Sidequest and that means it's time for a rematch with the Dysphormic Monster. Don't let the familiarity fool you, this fight can still catch you off guard!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Where: The boss arena for the Dysphormic Monster.
  2. 2
    What: You're up against the dragonic foe again. It's similar to your last encounter, but with a key difference: it can now use Dragonarok at any point once its health is low, not just when it's about to die.
  3. 3
    What to do: Before diving in, it's a good idea to use a Purikka Cobbler Salad to boost your HP. This will give you a bit more breathing room against its powerful attacks. Keep a constant eye on everyone's health, as most of its attacks hit multiple party members. Heal up quickly when needed.
  4. 4
    Why this way: The Dysphormic Monster's attacks, especially Dragonic Tail, are designed to hit your whole party. If you don't keep your HP topped up, you'll be in serious trouble very fast.
  5. 5
    Where: During the fight, specifically when the Monster's health drops below a certain point.
  6. 6
    What: The Monster gains the ability to use Dragonarok at any time.
  7. 7
    What to do: Be extra vigilant once you notice its health is getting low. This new move can be devastating if you're not prepared.
  8. 8
    Why this way: Letting it unleash Dragonarok on an unprepared party could lead to a swift game over.
  9. 9
    Where: Throughout the battle.
  10. 10
    What: Setsuna's Inspire and Cure II skills are incredibly useful here.
  11. 11
    What to do: Use Inspire with Momentum to make the buff last longer. Make sure Cure II is ready to go for emergency healing.
  12. 12
    Why this way: Inspire significantly boosts your party's damage output, and Cure II is your best bet for quickly restoring lost HP to multiple characters.
Tips
  • The Dysphormic Monster's Dragonic Tail attack is a major threat because it hits everyone. Prioritize keeping your party healed.
  • Don't underestimate the power of Inspire! Using it with Momentum can make a huge difference in the length of the buff.
  • The biggest change from the first fight is the ability to use Dragonarok when its health is low, so be ready for that surprise attack.
