Walkthrough
  1. 1
    After encountering Valentina in Nimbus Castle, proceed through the castle until you fall to the Hot Springs entrance.

    Climb back up to Nimbus Land. A cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically) will play, initiating the battle.
  3. 3
    Dodo will grab the middle party member for a one-on-one fight. Use Bowser's normal attack and hit the action command to defeat Dodo quickly.
  4. 4
    Once Dodo and Bowser return to the main battlefield, fight Valentina with two party members for a few turns.
  5. 5
    Focus on defeating Dodo first, as he has low HP (1,000) and can inflict Mute with Flutterhush. Dodo is weak against Fire; use Ultra Fireball.
  6. 6
    After Dodo is defeated, focus on Valentina (2,000 HP). She is resistant to Ice but has no specific weaknesses.
  7. 7
    Use Peach to heal and keep the party's HP up. Attack Valentina with physical moves.
  8. 8
    Be mindful of status effects like Mushroom and Sleep that Valentina can inflict. Use the Safety Ring on Peach to prevent status effects. Therapy and Group Hug can heal these.
  9. 9
    Valentina has powerful moves that cannot be blocked, such as Aurora Flash (causes Sleep), Blizzard, Crystal, Diamond Saw, Drain Beam, Petal Blast (causes Mushroom), Solidify, and Water Blast.
  10. 10
    Use items like Cleansing Juice to help manage status effects.
  11. 11
    Once Valentina is defeated, she will run away, signifying victory.
Tips
  • Place Bowser in the middle slot to ensure he fights Dodo one-on-one.
  • Use Peach's healing abilities and equip her with the Safety Ring to mitigate status effects.
  • Prioritize defeating Dodo quickly due to his Mute ability.
  • Valentina's attacks cannot always be blocked, so focus on healing and maintaining high HP.
