Bernie List of Attacks
|
Aside from its regular attack, Bernie has two special skills. It will also occasionally perform two attacks instead of one.
Beware Bernie's Fire-Elemental Attacks
Two of its Three Attacks are Fire-Elemental
Bernie's attacks, aside from its regular attacks, are both fire-elemental: Fire Breath and Flame Slash.
Fire Breath is an AOE attack that hits all your monsters, while Flame Slash is a single-target attack that has higher power than normal.
Equip the Asbestos Amulet Accessory
| Asbestos Amulet Location |
|---|
 |
In the Caverns of Conflagration where you fight Bernie, you can find a Asbestos Amulet that will be very useful in the battle. This item gives resistance against fire-elemental attacks.
Note that the Asbestos Amulet is an accessory, so it would only work with the monster equipping it. But it's still good to pick it up to gain an advantage against Bernie.
Circle of Temper, Lower Echelon Walkthrough
Use Monsters with the Aquapothecary Talent
Bernie has a Weakness to Water Skills
It's recommend to use water-elemental skills against Bernie. There are many water skills under the Aquapothecary talent, so keep this talent in mind when synthesizing monsters.
Aquapothecary Associated Skills
There are Healing Skills Under Aquapothecary
Under Aquapothecary, you can learn the Heal skill, which is a very valuable skill in the early game. Since the boss battle can get long, you'll likely need the HP recovery that Heal gives.
