How to Beat Genesis (First Encounter)
Guard Black Feather
Genesis not only moves fast, but his attacks are also quick. Trying to evade the Black Feather attack will be extremely difficult, so defend yourself using Guard.
Evade Dark Energy
You can avoid the Dark Energy attack by evading sideways. You can dodge sideways until you are behind Genesis to deal Critical Hits.
Attack After 4-Hit Combo
Genesis will be unable to attack for a short while after attacking four times with his sword. Use that information to your advantage by attacking after Genesis dishes out his 4-Hit Combo!
Remove Defense with Dispel
Cast Dispel when Genesis casts Defense to avoid dealing much less damage. You may have to use Dispel more than once to remove the buff.
Use High Jump to Destroy Ability Gauge
Genesis' Ability Gauge will show up for only a short period of time. Use the High Jump command to easily deplete the Ability Gauge.
Genesis (First Encounter) Attack Patterns
| Attack Pattern | Description |
|---|---|
| 4-Hit Combo | Genesis does four slashes with his sword. |
| Black Feather | Fast moving projectiles that deal damage and imbue Zack with the Poison effect. |
| Dark Energy | A ranged attack that shoots three magical bullets. |
| Defense | Boosts Genesis' VIT and SPR. |
| Black Flurry | Special Ability that deals damage and causes Curse. |
