Alundra 2(PlayStation)
👹 Pirate Rivalries and Handling Giant Bosses
Battles with pirates and distinctive giant bosses occur throughout the story. Boss fights center on repeatedly avoiding attacks and striking with your sword during openings. Some battles substantially change the presentation, so observing and responding to the opponent's movements is key.
Alundra 2 — what should I check first in Pirate and Boss Guide?
Against giant bosses, watch the attack windup, evade, and counter with your sword during the opening after the attack. Deal damage gradually from safe range instead of forcing a large burst at once. Some attacks that travel along the floor require timed jumps or movement to avoid. Do not hoard healing too much; use it early when danger arises to recover more easily.

1. Cannot Solve a Dungeon Puzzle
Cause: Not making use of acquired tools
Solution: Try each tool on the mechanisms and check differences in terrain elevation
2. Taking Too Many Hits in Boss Battles
Cause: Insufficient understanding of attack signals and mechanisms
Solution: Watch the boss's windup before evading and aim for the moment its weakness is exposed
3. Unsure of the Progression Route
Cause: Overlooking the next dungeon
Solution: Check the map and event dialogue and investigate unexplored locations

Flint has a bounty placed on him by pirates, and battles with pirate forces occur throughout the story. Some fights switch to side-scrolling action or otherwise change presentation substantially, so adapt quickly to the perspective and controls. Behind the events stands Mephisto, an alchemist who controls the technology of machine-evolution. Prepare equipment and healing before attempting the consecutive battles late in the game.
- ▸ Pirates have placed a bounty on Flint
