Learn how to defeat The Dark Samsara boss in I Am Setsuna. This guide covers its attacks, regeneration, and strategy for victory.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The Dark Samsara regenerates health automatically during the fight. There is no way to stop this, so focus on dealing consistent damage.
  2. 2
    Use a food item before the battle for buffs like increased health or physical defense.
  3. 3
    Be aware of the boss's attacks:
    • Cyclone Tail: A physical attack hitting all characters.
  4. 4
    Bend Space: A magical attack hitting all characters.
  5. 5
    Condense Time: Hits one character, leaving them with very low health, but does not kill them. Prioritize healing characters affected by this.
  6. 6
    Time Jump: Removes any ailments inflicted on the boss.
  7. 7
    Mighty Fist: A single-target physical attack that deals minor damage.
  8. 8
    Great Hammer: A single-target physical attack that deals slightly more damage than Mighty Fist.
  9. 9
    After defeating The Dark Samsara, you will regain control of Endir. Talk to Setsuna.
  10. 10
    You will return to Nive Island. Exit the harbor and go to the village.
  11. 11
    Meet Raishin at the village entrance; he will mention seeing a figure by the Falling Snow Monument.
  12. 12
    Travel through Dazzshire Woods (no enemies) to reach the Falling Snow Monument.
  13. 13
    You will encounter the Youth there, leading to a fight.

Boss Fight - Youth:

  1. This is not a challenging fight; one attack from Endir will defeat the Youth.
  2. The Youth's only attack is weak but can add up over time, so heal if necessary.
  3. Listen to the Youth's dialogue. The fight ends when he runs out of things to say, with his last line being “Stop…me…”.
  4. The Light at the End trophy will unlock upon completion of this dialogue.
  5. After the trophy unlocks, attack the Youth to end the fight.

Post-Game:

  1. After the credits, you can save your game. Loading this save will place you back before The Dark Samsara fight.
  2. This is your opportunity to complete any missed sidequests.
  3. New items will be unlocked at the Blacksmith and possibly the Magic Consortium.
  4. You can also collect remaining Spritnite, weapons, and pursue any remaining trophies.
Tips
  • Keep up consistent damage to outpace the boss's healing.
  • Prioritize healing characters hit by Condense Time.
  • Ensure all characters are fully healed before defeating The Dark Samsara, as it has a final attack called Space-Time Collapse upon its death.
