Boss 12: Dalles the Deranged
Toal/Nightmare Mode
Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfjut10T8wsY04zbKEni5J1BXuhdB1ZCM

At the top of the Tower Toal finds Reah being held captive by Dalles who belittles the futility of Toals actions. He admits his misjudgment of Toal's intentions, originally believing the Fact only wanted the Pearl for himself. Toal stands by his mission to destroy the Black Pearl, however, and attacks. His assault is deflected by Dalles' powerful barrier, and the sorcerer retaliates in his own show of force.

With Toal on the ropes, Reah finally speaks up and instills Toal with the confidence and power he needs to prevail: her Goddess Ring. With its dormant power Toal is able to break through Dalles' powerful barrier, bringing the sorcerer to become one with the Essence and unleash his true form.

Not as tough as Kishgal, but because it's a phase fight it's not really something to scoff at. Dalles' first phase falls victim to assaults from Inferno rather quickly, but the latter two force you to slow down to his pace.

For the second phase, the barriers Dalles erects can be very awkward to take out with Godspeed and Thunder Claw respectively. Godspeed of course sends you flying in the given direction, so if you aren't lined up fairly well with the barrier then there's a good chance you can slip behind Dalles altogether, making it an annoyance on top of an already awkward ordeal. Maybe it was just me, but breaking Thunder Claw barrier also seemed like a fairly slow thing, especially with the pillars slowly stalking you. Because Toal has to stay in place and is offered no real protection, I find relying on the demon form just for the sake of ending it faster is a good call.

The third phase can also surprisingly be a mixed bag. Toal's jump attack and Inferno are best for attacking the two sentries, but if Dalles uses his portal attack then you'll have to rely on Godspeed and normal attacks, cutting your damage output a bit. Speed can work against you if you don't pay attention to what Dalles himself is doing, but with Inferno as a safety net it's more of the same. The final stage will have you shuffling a bit more between Inferno and Godspeed, but if you strike quickly and brashly enough then most of the threat should be overcome by Toal's raw output.
