Bravely Default II - DEMO Story Boss & Ending - Thief Asterisk - NO HEALING/SPECIALS!
1Completing the Bravely Default II demo! There are two optional super-bosses after you complete the demo. Those are not covered here.
The boss theme starts off very reminiscent of Pokemon for some reason. There's some Love's Vagrant in the tune as well. I also noticed the smooth transition between the intro and the boss theme. Looks like Revo's (wisely) taken a leaf from Octopath Traveler's book...
All in all I'm quite content with this performance. No raising/healing needed and no specials used.
STRATEGY:
2 Black Mages to cast Poison as this lasts the whole battle and helps against his HP regen. You do not want to Brave the Poison because you can't predict how quickly it'll connect. Once that sticks and the Vanguard's Scale Strip is up, attack his elemental weakness. Have one of the Black Mages sub as a White Mage to cover reviving/healing and equip them with the Staff of Life which is a rare drop in this dungeon (there's also one in a chest hidden right of the king's throne) as is the armour I used (you can get one of those as a quest reward (building just before the NE exit of town).
The Vanguard's job is to Scale Strip to lower the boss's elemental defense. Also to use Provoke (which I didn't need to do) in order to take the brunt of the attacks.
Have some characters sub as Freelancer so they can access Lucky Charm (20% MP restoration). I didn't need it here but it's an excellent trick to avoid needing to spend at the inn all the time.
Someone with the Freelancer job/sub-job can cast Direct Sunlight to try and blind him. I used this to great effect here but bear in mind it doesn't always connect and it doesn't stick for long. As seen here though, it can really help against his Brave onslaughts!
