Baramos Turn Order

These HP thresholds are an estimate, and Baramos may change patterns earlier or later than expected.

Learn Baramos' Attack Patterns

Before entering the fight, it's recommended to learn the order of Baramos' attacks. This way you know approximately when his attack pattern changes, and when you should prioritize healing over attacking.

Replace Spells With Attack if Fizzled

If you apply Fizzle on Baramos, there's a chance that they might use Attack instead of wasting turns casting spells. However, the turn order will still progress and you'll still need to keep track of where Baramos is in their attack cycle.

Attacks if There is No Spooky Aura Target

If all party members have already been affected by Spooky Aura, then Baramos will use that turn to use an Attack instead, similar to if they were affected by Fizzle.

How to Beat Baramos

• Equip Fire and Spell Resistant Gear
• Bring Ways to Counter Confusion
• Seal Spells With Fizzle
• Cast Magic Barrier and Insulatle
• Level Up to Learn AoE Healing

Equip Fire and Spell Resistant Gear

Since most of Baramos' attacks are either Fire or Spell based, you'll want to wear equipment that resists those types of moves. However, defense is still important so make sure you strike a balance when sorting out your equipment.

Note: There are other pieces of equipment that you can use, but these are the readily available ones.

Bring Ways to Counter Confusion

One annoying thing you have to watch out for is Baramos using Fuddle to confuse a party member. Equip all of your characters with anti-confusion equipment, like a Ring of Clarity, so that they don't get confused and waste turns.

Seal Spells With Fizzle

More than half of Baramos' moves consist of spells, making Fizzle amazing for restricting what actions they can take. Make sure to have someone casting Fizzle, or using a Staff of Antimagic, to make this fight more manageable.

Cast Magic Barrier and Insulatle

As mentioned previously, most of Baramos attacks are either Spell or Breath-based , so you want to buff your party with Magic Barrier and Insulatle to further reduce the damage that these types of attacks will do.

Level Up to Learn AoE Healing

Baramos' most threatening moves, Kaboom and Inferno, both hit your entire party. To help make this fight easier, it's recommended to level up your healers enough to where they learn AoE healing moves, like Multiheal and Hustle Dance.
