How to Beat FATE (Boss)
This is a boss guide on how to beat FATE in Chrono Cross Remaster: The Radical Dreamers Edition. Read on to learn more information on FATE, its Abilities, item drops, and how to beat FATE fast!
How to Beat FATE
The Countdown is its Attack Pattern
| # | Attack | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Diminish | Lowers Element and Tech Skill power. |
| 4 | Gravitonne | Damages entire party. |
| 3 | Heat Ray | Major damage to a single character. Chance of Darkness. |
| 2 | Free Fall | Major damage to a single character. |
| 1 | Gravity Blow x2 | Minor damage to two characters. |
| 0 | Dark Energy | Major damage to the entire party. |
FATE will stick with this attack pattern for the entire fight. While it does seem daunting seeing all the consecutive attacks it will dish out, you can use it to your advantage by knowing what moves it will be doing per turn.
Nullify Yourself From its Abilities
Equip the Black Plate on Serge
Equipping the Black Plate on Serge is very important as it cuts down having to cast buffs and other abilities during battle.
With the Black Plate equipped, Serge will then be able to absorb all Black-innate abilities and heal him in the process.

Cast Negate Magic
Another trick you can use to temporarily mark you safe from FATE's Elemental attacks is by casting Negate Magic to one of your party members, as it nullifies all magic attacks of FATE.
Having the Black Plate and a character with Negate Magic will you can focus on whittling down FATE's health and much less on healing and buffs.

Always Be Attacking
FATE isn't exactly strong, but what makes this battle challenging is that its timed. Failing to end the battle when the timer runs out will lead to it casting its devastating Tech Skill, Dark Energy.
That said, it is important to always be on the offensive side and heal only when it is needed. If Serge has the Black Plate equip, then things shouldn't be a problem.
To maximize damage, always end your physical combos with a Level 5 or 7 Tech Skill, or by unleashing powerful Elemental Abilities!
