Galahad Strategy Guide

Use Bare Handed Tactics and Other Non-Weapon Physical Damage

The Picto-Amrita and Picto-Mona are immune to several elemental and weapon damage. Avoid equipping weapons that have other elemental properties or you may leave your character unable to deal damage during the fight.

The Bare-Knuckle Brawler ability from the Monk will increase a character's damage and aim if you do not have any weapon equiped. This will easily work around the Pictodemon's immunities.

Alternatively, you can use the Freelancer's Body Slam because its damage doesn't have a type.

Paralyze Galahad

Galahad will be a pain in the fight due to his defensive abilities. To prevent this, you should paralyze Galahad in the first few turns.

Lily, who will be helping out, can do this, but you can paralyze Galahad yourself using the Ranger's Shadowbind.

Defeat the Picto-Mona First!

Bravely Default II - Picto-Mona.png

During the start of the battle, you'll want to eliminate Picto-Mona first! You can easily focus her after paralyzing Galahad so make sure to go all out!

Leaving her alone will allow her to recover her and her allies' HP via White Wind.

All Enemies are Weak to Light

Try capturing some Petunias in the woods north of Wisland with Beastmaster. They can greatly help in taking down all the Picto-demons as well as Galahad.

Level 12 Black Mage Ignores Elemental Immunity

If you have a Level 12 Black Mage, their second speciality allows their spells to do damage, despite any immunities.

It's another way to go past the Pictodemon's tricky immunities.
