We're not done yet, we've still got four Superbosses left to go! Starting with Shiva!

Shiva can only be fought after obtaining the Pinaka from Parvati in the 6th Layer of the Sun. Best of luck with that!

His gimmick for the battle is his constantly shifting elemental affinities. What he can be hit with changes every turn.

Turn 1: Fire and Ice
Turn 2: Ice and Electricity
Turn 3: Electricity and Force
Turn 4: Force and Earth
Turn 5: Only Earth
Turn 6: Any Element

He's totally immune to Physical and Bullets from what I know.

He's going to pelt you with Death spells, elemental spells and ailment spells as well as his signature attack, Third Eye. It's a very strong Almighty skill that can Stun. Not fun.

Do NOT fully debuff him or buff yourself. He'll instatly Dekaja/Dekunda the debuffs/buffs, cast Power Change and Mind Charge, then cast Third Eye and fire off Ragnarok. This will wipe your whole party if he doesn't miss.

Beyond that, he's got 10000 HP. Once you've got his pattern down, he falls decently easy. The Skull Ring is your best friend here, since bouncing his Mamudoons back eats up his turns like candy.
