Complete Mt. Killaraus walkthrough for Tales of Berseria, including all treasures, skits, and boss strategies for Shigure, Titan, and Demi-Melchior.
Walkthrough
- 1Check the area around the entrance to Mt. Killaraus for a Gloire des Mousseux Sash.
- 2Head into the cave for the skit Watch Out for Erupting Volcano.
- 3Head east to a split and take the north path to a dead end with an Arcane Bottle.
- 4Backtrack and follow the path to the next area.
- 5Continue north until you reach the central area.
- 6Check behind the boulder for a Red Sage.
- 7Head west to another split.
- 8Check the dead end to the west for a Drop Bottle.
- 9Continue south, checking the southern wall for a Pinion Ring.
- 10Follow the path to trigger the skit Before the Final Battle....
- 11Exit to the northeast and follow the path until you encounter Shigure.
- 12Boss: Shigure (3) (HP: 106793) - Person. Weakness: Fire. Resistance: Wind. Shigure is much stronger than before, with increased stats in all field and a much more aggressive arsenal of artes that increase his Attack power or decrease yours. Shigure's attacks are fairly easy to sidestep, since they strike the area directly in front of him, and most of the attacks can be blocked by guarding. The only attack you really need to watch out for his Rangetsu Owl combo, which does massive damage even when blocked. Shigure's Mystic Arte can be countered by having Rokurou alive and in the active party. Make sure he uses his Mystic Arte in battle if you want the trophy for seeing all Mystic Artes in the game. Drops: None.
- 13Watch the skit Yozakara Anmitsu after the fight.
- 14Speak with Morgrim for a conversation.
- 15Examine Shigure's Stormhowl blade for the skit Rokurou's True Feelings.
- 16Exit the other end of the cavern for a scene.
- 17Activate the skit It's Freezing! It's Scorching!.
- 18Follow the path north.
- 19When the path bends east, check the northern dead end for a Mythril Doll.
- 20Approach the Code Red Hunt.
- 21Boss: Titan (HP: 37380) - Armored, Fiend. Weakness: Neutral. Resistance: Fire, Earth. The Titan uses heavy wind-based attacks to do massive damage with its brute force and has an extremely high Defense stat that makes doing damage a pain, especially since he automatically reduces all damage by 30. Make sure you're using artes that only strike his weakness and avoid his resistances, as he'll reflect that damage, including making sure your equipped weapon doesn't add any elemental attacks that could reflect back on you. This fight is more of an endurance race, as the Titan is slow and strong, and you'll just have to grind through his high HP to finish the battle. Drops: Juggernaut's Glacite.
- 22A few feet past the Titan's location, unlock the Katz Box for an Earring (Left).
- 23Continue to trigger the skit Changed People.
- 24Continue south and hop across the lava.
- 25Check the dead end to the east for a Soul Bottle.
- 26Exit to the southeast.
- 27Head east at the split for a chest with 11500 Gald.
- 28Backtrack and follow the path north until you reach another split.
- 29Check the southern path for a dead end with a Drop Bottle.
- 30Head back to the split and check the northwest corner of the area for a Red Lavender.
- 31Head east to trigger the skit The Exorcists' Shadow.
- 32Continue to the next area.
- 33Follow the narrow path to the right to a plateau with a Mythril Earrings and Standard Tempering Powder.
- 34Head back and enter the other tunnel for the skit Odds of Victory.
- 35Follow the path south, past the eastern exit.
- 36Check the northwest corner of the next room for a Mythril Talisman.
- 37Head south to collect the geotree.
- 38Backtrack to the eastern exit and glide over the gap to search the area with an Elixir, Soul Bottle, and Red Verbena.
- 39Return to the previous area and exit to the south.
- 40Follow the path to find Melchior on the edge of the cliff.
- 41Boss: Demi-Melchior (HP: 117888) - Person. Weakness: Wind. Resistance: Water, Earth. Melchior primarily uses the orbs circling around him to perform non-elemental and earth-based attack artes, when he's not casting powerful malak artes. The attacks from his orbs are easily avoided by keeping your distance or attacking his sides and back, his casting artes are extremely dangerous. Watch out for his Soul Landslide attack, which bombards the attacker in front of him with multiple strikes from the orbs, and Illusory Chill, which shoots a blast of icy water. The most dangerous artes in his arsenal are the huge AOE arte Gravity Storm, which does multiple waves of wind and earth damage that can easily kill your characters if un-blocked, and his Mystic Arte. Make sure he uses his Mystic Arte in battle if you want the trophy for seeing all Mystic Artes in the game. Drops: None.
- 42After the cutscene (a non-interactive cinematic the game plays automatically), watch the skits The Empyreans Awaken, No Eruption...So Far, Avenging Aifread, and Are You Hungry?.
- 43With the geoboard now available, return to the second area of Mt. Killaraus and glide.
