Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Abyssion has a vast array of attacks, mimicking those of various party members, including physical attacks and powerful spells like Meteor Storm and Prism Sword.
  2. 2
    His defense is incredibly high, so expect to deal relatively low damage per hit.
  3. 3
    Warning: Abyssion can move freely and quickly reach spellcasters like Raine. Stick close to him to manage his positioning.
  4. 4
    Guard his attacks and look for openings to strike, particularly after he finishes an attack sequence.
  5. 5
    When Abyssion begins casting a spell, try to get behind him to initiate a combo.
  6. 6
    After taking two-thirds of his Max HP, he will begin using his most powerful spells more frequently.
  7. 7
    Use Unison Attacks strategically: Lloyd's Sword Rain: Alpha, Raine's Ray, Kratos' S. Lightning Blade, and Genis' Indignation can create Prism Stars for significant damage. Use these when his HP is below 40,000, especially to counter his ultimate spells.
  8. 8
    If Lloyd's HP drops to critical, switch to the Material Blade and use Falcon's Crest for massive damage.
  9. 9
    Consider using an All-Divide if you are struggling, though it is not strictly necessary with proper preparation.
  10. 10
    The battle can be very long, potentially lasting over 13 minutes. Be prepared with healing items like Life Bottles and Pineapple Gels.
Tips
  • Focus on healing and defense, letting Kratos and Raine manage party HP.
  • Genis' spells will contribute additional damage.
  • If Abyssion unleashes a spell, quickly move behind him to maximize combo opportunities.
  • Use Unison Attacks prudently, especially to negate his most devastating spells.
  • Equip the Material Blade and use Falcon's Crest when Lloyd is in critical HP.
  • After the battle, Presea obtains the title "Empty Soul", which raises all stats by 4 (except TP, which increases by 3).
  • The true power of the Devil's Arms is unlocked, with attacks increasing based on the number of enemies each character kills.
