Fire Colossus Boss Fight: Chapter 7

Learn how to beat the tricky Fire Colossus in One Piece Odyssey! This guide breaks down its attacks, phases, and the best strategies to overcome this Chapter 7 boss.

Alright, so you've made it to the Fire Colossus in Chapter 7 of One Piece Odyssey, and yeah, it can be a bit of a roadblock. Don't sweat it, though! This fight has two distinct phases. The first is a pretty standard battle with your main crew. But then things get interesting when the game throws Brook into the mix for the second phase. Now, you might think, 'Awesome, Brook's here to help!' but here's the kicker: he's got nothing equipped and his HP is super low. Honestly, it's usually best to just swap him out for someone else right away. If you don't, you'll likely spend the whole fight just trying to revive him, only for him to get knocked out again almost immediately.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Type: Power-type. This means characters like Nami, Franky, and Usopp (who are Technique and Speed types, respectively) will take more damage.
• Fire Skills: Avoid using fire-based attacks against the Fire Colossus; they won't be very effective.

Phases:

1. Phase 1: Standard Battle
   Your main crew fights the boss.
2. Phase 2: Brook Joins
   Brook is added to your party, but he's under-equipped and has low HP. It's recommended to swap him out for a more effective party member.

Strategy:

• Party Composition: Since the Fire Colossus is a Power-type, consider bringing Speed or Technique types to deal more damage and take less. Definitely sideline Brook, even though he's introduced in this phase, because his lack of equipment makes him a liability.
• Brook's Survival: If you absolutely must keep Brook in, consider using food buffs to boost his stats or using Trick Balls to debuff the boss (especially ATK down).
• Debuffs and Healing: Use Trick Balls to apply debuffs like ATK down to the boss. Chopper should have access to 'Cure (All)' by this point, so he's your go-to for party-wide healing if needed.
• Boss Attacks: Be aware of the Fire Colossus's moves:
  • Burning Truth: A single-target attack dealing around 500-700 damage, with a chance to inflict Burn.
  • Solar Heat Wave: An area-of-effect laser attack that hits everyone. Power-types take around 700 damage, Speed-types take more, and Technique-types take less.
  • Violent Fire King: A devastating attack where fireballs rain down, hitting all characters for 850-1050+ damage. This is especially dangerous for an under-equipped Brook.
• General Advice: Treat this fight similarly to the Water Colossus you fought recently. Focus on exploiting type advantages and managing your party's HP. Don't forget to use those Trick Balls to make the fight easier!
