Defeat the Clumsy Assassin and Guardian-Wind in Tales of Symphonia. Learn their stats, weaknesses, and the best strategy to win.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the battle by focusing attacks on Guardian-Wind, as he is stronger and poses a greater threat to your party.
  2. 2
    Avoid using Sword Rain against Guardian-Wind as he is airborne.
  3. 3
    Execute a 3-hit combo, finishing with either Tiger Blade or Tempest. Tempest is generally more effective.
  4. 4
    Utilize the Strat battle sub-menu to assign one character to attack Guardian-Wind while the other two keep the Clumsy Assassin occupied.
  5. 5
    Once Guardian-Wind is defeated, concentrate all attacks on the Clumsy Assassin, who should be less of a challenge.
  6. 6
    Ensure Raine and Kratos provide healing when possible and necessary.
Tips
  • After this encounter, a skit will play automatically, and you will unlock the ability to use Unison Attacks.
  • The Ossa Trail is a good area to level up, offering significant experience points (XP) and Gald (in-game currency).
  • There is an optional boss, Sword Dancer #1, located within a cave on the Ossa Trail. To reach it, head NE on the world map, cross a wooden bridge, and enter the cave.
  • Inside the cave, navigate as follows: Head NE, then NW at the fork, then NE again to find the 'Fine Guard' in a chest. Move SE, then SW, then SE at the next fork to find 'Black Silver'. Continue NE, NW at the fork, NE at the next fork, and enter the next room.
  • In the final room, you will find the 'EX Gem Lv1' behind the Black Skull (Sword Dancer #1) and the 'Beast Fang' in a hidden chest slightly South.
