Barbatos Attacks

Hypothermion Attacks

Defeat Hypothermion With AoE Attacks

Barbatos and Hypothermion's Weaknesses are Electric and Explosion

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.

Examples of Monsters That Can Learn Electric and Explosion Attacks

Monster	Talent	Skills
Archdemon	Storm Chaser	Kaboomle
Drakulard	Wrecker	Big Banga
Shogum	Leading Light	Kazapple
King Slime	Just Ruler	Lightning Storm
Killing Machine	Duelist	Gigagash

Bring Monsters with Brake Wind

Black Breath Can Prevent Spells

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.

Examples of Monsters That Can Learn Brake Wind

Monsters with Brake Wind
Awebergine	Restless Armour	Stark Raven
Vexologist	Breath Taker	Blusterer

Bring Monsters with Omniheal

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.

Examples of Monsters That Can Learn Omniheal

Monsters with Omniheal
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.

How to Create King Cureslime

Steps to Create King Cureslime

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.

Synthesizing a Cosmic Chimaera

Steps to Create Cosmic Chimaera
Scout a Mandrake Major located in Fort Nox at the Circle of Fortitude, Middle Echelon. Scout an Odd Cob located in Hotcake Heap at the Circle of Indulgence, Lower Echelon. (Though any Nature Family Monster will do) Create a Chimaera by synthesizing both Mandrake Major and Odd Cob. Scout a Togre located in the Cradle of Corruption, Middle Level. Scout an Odd Cob (or any Nature Family Monster) again. Create a Drackyma by synthesizing Togre and Odd Cob. Create Cosmic Chimaera by combining Chimaera and Drackyma
