In the boss battle against Barbatos, he will be accompanied by two Hypothermion. Barbatos uses powerful debuffs like Kasap which lowers your defense and Kasnooze which inflicts sleep on your party. Barbatos is a priority because of these reasons, so focus on defeating him first!
In addition, Barbatos and the Hypothermion conveniently have weaknesses to Electric and Explosion element attacks, so bring Monsters that can take advantage of this.

Barbatos possesses a breath attack named Black Breath that deals major dark-elemental damage and can prevent your party from casting spells. This is highly dangerous for Healer Monsters if they are hit as they lose access to their healing skills.
If you use Brake Wind which can reflect Breath attacks, it can completely nullify the attack and protect your party.

Barbatos uses powerful attacks that hit your entire party like Black Breath and Kaboom, so to offset the damage, bring Healer Monsters with Omniheal to keep your HP close to full.

![]() Flutter Slime |
![]() King Cureslime |
![]() Slime Snack |
Omniheal is available to the Monsters above and is only available to Monsters A-Rank or higher. Flutter Slime is simple enough to synthesize.
However, King Cureslime, while taking longer to create, has high healing potential and is a synthesis material for even stronger Monsters down the line, so we recommend getting it.
To create a King Cureslime, we first need to synthesize Cosmic Chimaera as its ingredient.
After doing so, synthesize the Cosmic Chimaera with any Slime Family Monster and the resulting Monster will be a King Cureslime.
