Sal Garthr

Learn how to defeat the boss Gears in Lost Sphear. This guide covers Gears' attacks, weaknesses, and the best strategies to win the fight and get the Vulcopack A.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Gears has a few key attacks: Launch (physical, line attack), Immolation (fire, line attack, 100+ damage), and Chaos Blow (multi-hit AoE, 80-90 damage total).
• Spread out your characters to avoid line attacks, though Gears can still hit two at once.

Phases:

1. The fight is straightforward with no distinct phases, but Gears' attacks can hit hard.

Strategy:

• Keep your heals ready! Sherra has a single-target heal, and Kanata has Aura for an area-of-effect heal.
• Equip your Vulcosuits for a significant damage boost. Remember that Dianto won't have access to his Paradigm Drive at this point.
• Calamity is a useful skill for mitigating incoming damage.
• Spread out your party to minimize damage from Gears' line attacks (Launch and Immolation).
• Even spread out, Gears can still hit two characters with his line attacks, so be prepared to heal.
• Chaos Blow hits multiple times and can vary in damage, so be ready for that as well.

• Upon defeating Gears, you will receive the Vulcopack A item, which increases your maximum VP by 50, bringing the total to 200.
• Dianto will permanently join your party.

After the fight, Van suggests heading to the Kingdom of Graccia on the eastern continent. Before you set sail, it's a good idea to visit the Refuge camp to rest at the inn, restock on supplies, and check out the new weapons available for Dianto. Once you're prepared, board your ship and travel east.
