Walkthrough

1
The fight against Grinche is very similar to the Timeslave boss from the main story, but Grinche is significantly more powerful. His basic attacks include Missile Punch, which targets a single character, and Laser Beam, which deals a bit more damage. He also has access to Slow II, an area-of-effect spell that can cripple your party. If you get hit by Slow II, you can try to cure it with Panaceas or use Endir’s Aura with Momentum to remove the debuff.
2
Around the 50% health mark, Grinche will enter his Rampage phase. This makes his attacks stronger and modifies some of them. Missile Punch will upgrade to Twin Missile Punch, hitting two characters instead of one. More critically, Slow II will be upgraded to Stop II, which can be absolutely devastating if it hits your entire party, potentially leading to a game over.
3
After using Rampage, Grinche gains access to Blowback. This is his most powerful attack, similar to the death move used by Timeslave, but Grinche can use it at any time once Rampage is active. It's crucial to heal your party immediately after he uses Blowback, as it can deal massive damage.
4
Once you manage to defeat Grinche, a short scene will play out. You'll then obtain the Eclipse Spritnite, which is specifically for Julienne.

Tips

Keep a close eye on Grinche's health. When he's around 50%, prepare for his Rampage phase and the upgraded attacks.
Stock up on Panaceas or ensure Endir has Aura with Momentum to quickly deal with Slow II and Stop II.
Prioritize healing after Grinche uses Blowback, as it's his most dangerous move.
Don't forget that the Eclipse Spritnite is a reward for this quest, so completing it is essential for Julienne's progression.
