Boss: Baitojoh
Strategy: There are two phases to this fight. For the first, you must control Karol by himself. All you can do is run. You don't have a chance of winning. Attempting to mount any form of offense against Baitojoh will only get you killed. So just throw a Magic Lens (a consumable item that reveals enemy stats). Then guard and run for your life. After you have avoided its attacks long enough, a scene takes over.
Karol will get and automatically be equipped with the Bravior.
Now the rest of your party joins the fray. The second phase is when the fight actually begins. Karol must be present in your party for this fight. Have Raven healing and casting spells when he can while Rita mounts a nonstop assault. Then take Karol and another fighter of your choice in up close to lay on the pressure. This boss doesn't have much of anything in its arsenal that poses too great of a threat. It likes to dive underground and burst up from underneath your party members. So keeping it away from your casters is more or less impossible.
Secret Mission: During the second phase, strike Baitojoh's fin three times as it swims around underground.
- Use a Magic Lens during the first phase of the fight and a second during the second phase of the fight.
- As for the Secret Mission, all you have to do is hit its fin while it is swimming around underground three times. With Rita and Raven throwing out spells, along with Karol and your fourth party member constantly attacking, this should come pretty much automatically.
- Drops: Paralysis Charm
- Secret Mission Drops: Body Paint
- Steal: Saffron
- Experience: 12000
- Gald: 7500
