BOSS - Simeon

Simeon is accompanied by a Dancer Marionette and a Father Marionette. Focus on the two Marionettes first, as Simeon is passive initially.

  • Father Marionette: Uses Sweep (hits all party members), Slice (single target), and Armor Crush (single target, lowers physical defense). Weak to axes, fire, and lightning. Has 5 shields.
  • Dancer Marionette: Uses Sickening Ode (dark elemental damage to party) and can buff enemies with Lion Death (Physical Attack) and Funeral Dance (Physical Defense). Weak to swords, axes, staves, and fire. Has 4 shields.

Boss Mechanics:

  • When Simeon uses “Come, my shadowy friends!” on the Marionettes (below 50% HP and broken), they enter permanent boost mode, gaining an extra action and new moves.
  • Father Marionette's boosted moves: Crush (single target, can inflict Unconscious) and Crazed Strike (single target).
  • Dancer Marionette's boosted moves: Strangle (single target) and Lose Control (around five random hits to the party).
  • Both Marionettes' regular attacks also increase in power.

Strategy:

  • Concentrate on the Dancer Marionette first due to her buffing capabilities, then the Father Marionette.
  • Use a Sorcerer for breaking shields quickly. An Apothecary can assist with Last Stand.
  • Stealing: The Father Marionette has a Physical Belt (increases physical attack by 65, defense by 50). The Dancer Marionette has a Mental Belt (increases physical attack by 65, defense by 50). Use a Thief with Snatch to steal these accessories. You may also get them as drops after the battle.
  • Simeon: Weak to spears, daggers, staves, and dark. Starts with 3 shields and gains 2 more on each break recovery, up to a maximum of 7. His moves include Dramatic Build (hits a single character) and Rondo of Stillness (can Silence a character).
