How to Beat Lampmaster

Destroy the Lamps During Phase 1

During phase 1, shoot the four floating lamps surrounding Lampmaster to disable its Light Shot attack.

Each lamp corresponds to one projectile, allowing Lampmaster to shoot up to four projectiles targeting random allies when left alone. These projectiles function similarly to Free Aim, giving Lampmaster an extra source of damage during its actions.

Can Leave At Least 1 Lamp for Extra Counters

Alternative, players can instead opt to leave at least one lamp alive if they can parry its projectile. This can allow an extra source of damage for the party, parrying a predictable projectile for an easy counterattack.

The lamps will always shoot in clockwise order starting from the bottom left lamp. Players can take advantage of this by purposely leaving alone the lamp they have most confident in parrying, as they can expect when the projectile will appear.

Shoot the Lamps in the Correct Sequence During Phase 2

During phase 2, its four lamps will glow red in a sequence. Remember the sequence and use Free Aim to shoot each lamp in the order they glow. Shooting the correct lamp will not consume AP, giving players free shots as long as the order is followed correctly.

When performed successfully, Lampmaster will take an extra instance of damage and cancels the use of Sword of Light on its following turn.

Note the Brief Delay In Its Attacks

All of Lampmaster's attacks will have a brief delay before attacking, followed by a quick execution. Be careful not to fall for its feints and press dodge or parry shortly after the brief delay occurs.
