The Hanged Man Shadow is a multi-phase boss that requires careful management of its summoned minions. It is initially invulnerable, and you must defeat its summoned Shadows to expose its weakness. Your party should be around Level 32-35.
Boss Details:
- Hanged Man Shadow: Initially invulnerable. Weak to Light/Dark when exposed. Resists all elements when invulnerable. Uses various magic and physical attacks.
- Summoned Shadows: Have various weaknesses.
Strategy:
- Phase 1 (Invulnerable): The Hanged Man will summon smaller Shadows. Focus on quickly defeating these summoned Shadows. Use their weaknesses to gain 'One More' turns and All-Out Attacks.
- Phase 2 (Vulnerable): Once all summoned Shadows are defeated, the Hanged Man becomes vulnerable. Unleash your strongest attacks, especially Light/Dark skills if you have them, as it's weak to them.
- Avoid Attacking Invulnerable State: Do NOT attack the Hanged Man while it's invulnerable, as it will counter with a powerful attack.
- Healing/Buffs: Keep your party healthy and use buffs/debuffs to maximize damage during its vulnerable phase.
This fight is about managing priorities. Clear the summoned Shadows efficiently, then go all-out on the Hanged Man. Repeat this cycle until it's defeated. Aigis's buffs can be very helpful here.
