Bonus Stage boss 1-3 tips & info by FalconX

> Round 1: Boss lo Lv.99. Machina & 1 add machina. Killing the add will make boss rage hit & wipe party, got to beat boss 1st, but I killed both same time so dont know what happens if kill boss 1st.

1st attempt Party: Victor Machenco, Chow, Black cat Lid, Rem 7*, Blossom sage Sakura, friend: 7*Hyoh (atk2k+). Tank uses provoke abilities, chow uses magic cover. Boss will do stop, charm moves on provoke target. used chow to stop prevent. Rem uses Flying daggers for about 25% single target main boss. Black cat lid did +200killer effect for decent damage, but later bosses was kinda useless. Hyoh does single target moves on lo, dispel when they buff & thunder down ST.

> 2nd try: Nothing happens when kill main boss 1st, just keep add alive & refill mp to whole party before you kill it. Swapped out Black cat lid w/ Illusion Nichol. Just for final round boss. mp refill help & atk/mag- debuff.

Round 2: boss Erinyes. Demon. tank voke, chow magic cover, just used strongest atk to kill 1 round.

> Round 3: boss Architeuth lv.99. = (Giant squid + 3 add. arms). Aquan killer. Used hyoh x2 52mp AoE & Blossom sakura to x2 mp65 move to kill adds. This will rage boss, Had used Rems auto reraise on party, so every1 raised but next turn he will do same move again. I didnt have any debuffs on boss, but got him to 48% before wiped. I would put atk/mag- to weaken him. Think adds used poison, para, all spells. Chow had 100% water resist +850spr, got killed easy by AoE water so needs more resist.

> 2nd try: alot easier, Hyoh does ST moves on main body, Blosson sakura does x2 65mp, Chow keeps magic cover up (had used barwatera + stop resist also, mp refill lb helps. Boss will use mp drain almost every round when all arms on. Had chow lb, sakura mp refill up, and osmose blade ability equip on mages to help. 100% refill w/ osmose. Boss will self heal w/ watera on itself healing arms also, I accident kill all arms trying to keep them lowish hp, but wiped at 16%. easy win! put Rem party reraise up just incase. I didnt :P wasnt planning on killing the arms.

Not to hard, have fun! --Gogamer2018 (talk) 08:01, 17 October 2018 (UTC)

Final party setup: Slow & easy win ~7rounds on 3boss. by FalconX

> 7*Victor (tank), blosson sage sakura (leviathan), Rikku (lb fill gear), 7*Rem, Chow(150resist water +dualcast), friend: 7*Malphasie (mag1500+)

3rd boss (Squid + 4 arms add.) You can kill 3/4 arms to build up lb, leave one alive. I used magic shots to gauge how much each hit would take from them. about 24% for each two 65mp shots on adds. Just had Rikku keep her lb up, boss will do mp drain on provoke tank keeping him 0mp. keep tank provoke up, every 3 rounds he does aOe move, have reraise up main focus. Get mix up if possible. Its either every 3 rounds, or 60/40/20 break that boss will do hard hit party move.

> .. just use hard hits on main body till get low enough to combo kill. Build up mag/atk+ combo kill with hardest moves. 7* Malphasie limit break took off about 40%hp by itself, so I used this to finish off boss + mag boost +combos. Just gotta stay alive though thresholds.. Rem has party reraise if need, Rikku is main reraise full time. have fun! --Gogamer2018 (talk) 23:41, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
