Mind's End

Learn the best strategies to defeat the Primeval Monster in Lost Sphear. This guide covers its attacks, weaknesses, and the rewards you'll receive upon victory.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Melee Attacks: Countered with Rupture (hits melee range).
• Magic Attacks: Countered with Pollute (deals more damage than Rupture).
• Riot: Hits everyone twice (approx. 40-50 damage total).
• Rampage: Similar to Riot, possibly slightly more damage.
• Devour: Siphons MP.
• Body Odor: Inflicts Ability Down.
• Breath: Inflicts status ailments like Confusion and Rooster.
• Draw Breath: Siphons a small amount of HP.
• Sleep: Boss can put itself to sleep for regeneration.
• Health: Very high, no visible HP bar.
• Damage Output: Generally low, with upper range around 50 damage.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Initial Assault

   The Primeval Monster will begin using its various attacks, including its counters to melee and magic. You'll need to manage its status-inflicting abilities and MP/HP siphoning skills.

2. Phase 2: Sustained Combat

   As the fight progresses, the boss will continue its assault. The key here is endurance due to its large health pool. Be mindful of when it might try to put itself to sleep to regenerate health.

3. Phase 3: Victory and Rewards

   Once its health is depleted, the Primeval Monster will be defeated, yielding new artifact knowledge.

Strategy:

• Melee attackers are at a disadvantage due to the boss's counter-attacks (Rupture and Pollute). Consider using characters or abilities that can attack from a distance.
• The boss's direct damage isn't usually a major threat, so you likely won't need constant emergency healing. Focus on consistent damage output.
• The biggest hurdle is the boss's massive health pool and the fact that you can't see its HP. Stick to a steady attack pattern.
• Upon defeating the Primeval Monster, you'll gain new artifact knowledge: Diange, Paradox, Star Glow, and Beastiary.
• The Beastiary artifact is particularly important as it unlocks the Scan function for your vulcosuit. Activate this by pressing [Square] while walking in dungeons. This will show enemies in different colors: blue (weakest), yellow (average), and red (strongest).
• When enemies appear as blue, you can defeat them instantly by simply running into them.
