These are all the bosses that you're required to fight during the main story. Also, as a note, some of them can be encountered earlier or later depending on which areas you visit first during the main quest.

These bosses are either optional bosses that aren't tied to the main story, or bosses that are exclusive to the post-game. Generally, it's recommended to save the optional bosses for the post-game since they're a lot harder when compared to regular main story bosses.

Tips on Beating Bosses

Reach the Recommended Level

Character level plays the biggest role in determining the outcome of boss fights. By leveling up, your characters will have better stats, making the boss fights easier. With this in mind, it's best that you raise your characters' levels first to the recommended level before attempting the boss fight.

EXP Farm: How to Level Up Fast

Wear the Recommended Equipment

If you're still having trouble beating a boss even after reaching the recommended level, it's most likely due to having underpowered equipment. It's best to upgrade your equipment or wear the recommended weapon and armour to have a better chance of beating the boss.

List of All Equipment

Inflict Sleep, Dazzle, or Fizzle

Inflicting bosses with Sleep, Dazzle, or Fizzle can make the fight easier. Sleep completely immobilizes the boss, preventing them from doing anything and giving you free turns. Dazzle makes bosses less likely to hit their attacks and abilities, while Fizzle prevents them from casting spells.
