How to Beat Highwayman

This is a boss guide on how to beat Highwayman in Chrono Cross Remaster: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Read on to learn more information on Highwayman, its Abilities, item drops, and how to beat Highwayman fast!

How to Beat Highwayman

Dealing with Status Conditions

Highwayman Exhaust Gas
The main gimmick of the Highwayman is that it wants your party to just keep on missing your attacks by lowering your hit rate using its Tech Skill, Exhaust Gas.

Exhaust Gas has a chance of inflicting Darkness to your party, which lowers your party's hit rate drastically. You can remedy this by using the item Black Out to remove the status condition.

In addition, you can increase your characters' hit rate by casting Eagle Eye.

Watch Out for Highwayman's Rampage

Highwayman Rampage

The Highwayman's strongest move, Rampage can easily take down your non-Black Element characters in one blow.

You can prevent this by breaking all-Black FIeld Effects and by never letting your health drop under 80 percent.

General Tips

Taking Advantage of Field Effects

Field

This battle is a perfect example of using Field Effects to one's advantage.

It is highly recommended to monitor Field Effects as it can influence the damage you deal and receive to and from your foes.

In this case, having a fully Black Field Effect will be dangerous for your party especially when Highwayman uses its Tech Skill, Rampage.
