Gargant Location
Frozen Hearts
The Gargant is first encountered in Frozen Hearts as the final boss of this optional area. The player is advised to level their characters up first before returning as most of the enemies here are dangerous to players who have only recently finished Monoco's Station.

How to Beat Gargant
Gargant Switches Elemental Stances
The Gargant has the gimmick of being able to switch stances between Fire and Ice, which affects what Element it is weak to, and what it absorbs. In either form, it absorbs the Element of its stance, and is weak to the other element.
Pay attention to the color of the visual effects surrounding Gargant's lower half. A red coloring indicates it's in its Fire stance, while blue instead means it's in its Ice stance.
Can Freeze Your Team Members
Gargant may attempt to Freeze a single target with an ice beam, inflicting the status if the attack lands. This will make the affected character vulnerable to attacks as they cannot dodge or parry due to being Frozen.
Equip the Anti-Freeze Picto or Lumina, or run effects like Cleansing Tint to protect your characters from the status effect.
Gargant Attack Patterns
Multiple Punches
| Gargant throws even more punches, striking one character 6 times. | |
| How to Dodge | Dodge as soon as he starts swinging his first punch, and continue to dodge quickly for the next three hits. Then, wait for him to finish winding up before dodging the last two hits. |
|---|---|
| How to Counter | Parry all six strikes to counter. |
Freeze Beam
| Gargant freezes a character, shooting a beam of ice that hits once at one target. | |
| How to Dodge | Dodge when the swirls of energy move quickly towards its head. |
|---|---|
| How to Counter | Parry when the beam finishing charging to counter. |
Fire Yell
| Gargant yells, expelling a fiery projectile that hits once at a single target. | |
| How to Dodge | Dodge as the projectile nears your character, as it has a slow arc. |
|---|---|
| How to Counter | This attack is usually applied on a Frozen character, and the attack cannot be countered normally this way. If the character is not Frozen, parry on the projectile's downward arc to counter. |
Arm Swing
| Gargant tears up the field with his arms, attacking the entire party 4 times. | |

Havoc Smash
