Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the fairly challenging Red Mage, and unlock his Job Asterisk!
-----------------------------------------------------
This dandy deserves a beating, but don't take him lightly as he's a tough nut to crack. At the beginning Edea will be under the influence of Charm, so cast Esuna (White Magic) or use a Remedy to bring her back to her senses.
DeRosa can cast Thundara to shock your party and Cura to restore around 1800 HP; he also uses Captivating Cologne to Charm a single target. What makes DeRosa hard is that each time you damage him, there's a chance his BP will rise by one.
When he's gathered BP, he will unleash a flurry of moves--first a normal attack, then Thundara and Cura. The end result is that he'll do heavy damage to your party and heal himself in the process.
You might consider limiting the number of attacks you do, by not using Brave, but you'll still boost his BP every now and then, triggering his onslaught. We recommend stockpiling BP, then unleashing multiple attacks, while using Cura to restore your health to maximum on one turn.
The next turn, DeRosa will almost definitely have 3 BP and unload his attacks, but you can Default to survive. After DeRosa's HP drops, he will stop using Cura, so it's no longer a battle of attrition, but he'll cast Thundara twice for major damage. Don't hesitate to group-cast Cura twice when it's safe (or unsafe).
