How to Beat Chromatic Bourgeon

Chromatic Bourgeon Eats a Character

Chromatic Burgeon Eats a Character

The Chromatic Bourgeon will open the fight by randomly eating one of your playable characters, rendering them incapacitated while it has them ingested. This means that you will be limited to whoever is left behind.

Prepare for this by making sure that at least two of your characters are able to do damage, to avoid losing a chunk of your damage if you are only relying on one DPS character.

Aim to Break the Chromatic Bourgeon

Chromatic Bourgeon Spits Out a Character

Once the Chromatic Bourgeon swallows a character, you can force the boss to spit them out by breaking and stunning them. This will instantly have them release the trapped character, allowing you to fight at full capacity.

How to Break Enemies

Be Prepared for the Exhaust Status

Chromatic Bourgeon Applying Exhaust

The Chromatic Bourgeon is also capable of inflicting the Exhaust status, which negates all AP gain. Counteract this with effects like Cleansing Tint, to remove the status if it hits a character.
