Succubeast is the first boss in this part of the story. Her strategy relies on inflicting confusion, so make sure you have a way to counter it. It's also recommended to raise your Attack to at least 150 before attempting this fight, so be sure to use all your Seeds of Strength and purchase new weapon from available shops.

The next pair of bosses you’ll face are the Hula Ruler and Disco Demon. A good strategy here is to focus on Hula Ruler first, as it serves as support and restores Disco Demon's MP. With no MP left to use later on, Disco Demon won't be able to cast Midheal on itself, allowing you to take it down more easily.
