👹 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.

The Basic Boss-Battle Pattern

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.

  • ▸ Watch windups, evade, then counter with your sword after the attack
  • ▸ Deal damage gradually from a safe distance
  • ▸ Avoid attacks traveling along the floor with jumps or movement
  • ▸ Use healing items early when health falls
Pirate Rivalries and Mephisto

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
  • ▸ Some battles change presentation, such as switching to side-scrolling action
  • ▸ The mastermind is the alchemist Mephisto, who controls machine-evolution technology
  • ▸ Prepare healing and supplies for the late game's consecutive battles
