How to Beat Soul of Baramos (Citadel)

Equip Fire and Spell Resistant Gear

Soul of Baramos Kaboom
Similar to the Soul of Baramos fight in the Tower of Rubiss, you want to wear Fire and Spell resistant equipment to reduce the damage of Inferno and Kaboom respectively.

Ice Shield Mur 3,100 G
Magic Shield Lanson 4,300 G
Epic Apron Immigrant Town 10,500 G

List of Equipment

Bring Ways to Counter Thwack

Dieamend Effect
Since Thwack can instantly kill party members if it lands, you want to make sure that you bring measures to protect against it. It's recommended to put Dieamends in your bag to absorb the hit, but you can also use anti-instakill equipment.

How to Get Dieamend and Effects

Holy Talisman Immigrant Town 3,500 G
Angel's Robe 9,700 G
Sacred Amulet Tower of Rubiss -

The Sacred Amulet is exclusive to the Hero.

Cast Insulatle and Magic Barrier

Magic Barrier Soul of Baramos Citadel
On top of using Fire and Spell resistant gear, you'll want to cast Insulatle and Magic Barrier to reduce the damage of the boss' attacks. You can also cast Kabuff if you wish, but you still need to use some turns to heal your party.

Seal Spells with the Fizzle Effect

Fizzle Soul of Baramos
Even with an expanded moveset, Soul of Baramos still uses a lot of spells. Make sure to seal their spells with Fizzle, the Staff of Rain, or a Staff of Antimagic so that you only have to worry about its regular attacks and Inferno.

Use Wild Side and Monster Pile-On

Monster Pile-On Soul of Baramos
Like the previous boss, you want to use the Monster Wrangler's combo of Wild Side and Monster Pile-On as your main form of damage. This bypasses Dazzle so you can freely use this move without worrying about it missing.
