How to Beat Soul of Baramos (Rubiss)

• Equip Fire and Spell Resistant Gear
• Cast Magic Barrier and Insulatle
• Prioritize Defeating the Ashdemons
• Dispel Buffs With Ripple of Disruption
• Seal Soul of Baramos' Spells
• Soul of Baramos is Susceptible to Sleep

Equip Fire and Spell Resistant Gear

Since Soul of Baramos' highest damage moves are Kaboom and Inferno, you'll want to counter this by using equipment that resists Fire and Spell damage. Make sure you do this so that you don't have to waste extra turns and MP healing.

List of Fire and Spell Resistant Gear

The Hero's Shield and Auroral Armour are extremely powerful Hero-exclusive equipment.

List of Equipment

Cast Magic Barrier and Insulatle

On top of wearing Fire and Spell resistant equipment, you should also cast Magic Barrier and Insulatle to further reduce the damage of Kaboom and Inferno respectively.

Prioritize Defeating the Ashdemons

The two Ashdemons have a very annoying supportive movepool so you want to prioritize killing them first with the Hero using either Kazap or Gigaslash. Make sure to do this since the fight can get out of hand if they're left alive.

Dispel Buffs With Ripple of Disruption

If you have the Ripple of Disruption ability from the Martial Artist, you should use it whenever the Ashdemons cast a buff. This is especially important if both of them use Kabuff on the same turn since it will maximize their defenses.

However, this is unlocked at Level 43 and it may be out of reach unless you've been farming EXP.

Ripple of Disruption Effects and Level Learned

Can Use Stat Lowering Spells and Abilities

If you don't have access to Ripple of Disruption, you can use stat lowering spells and abilities, like Kasap and Attack Attacker, instead.

Seal Soul of Baramos' Spells

Since half of Soul of Baramos' moves are spells, you want to seal them either with Fizzle or by using either a Staff of Antimagic or the Staff of Rain. However, he can still use Inferno so make sure you have Insulatle up for this.

Soul of Baramos is Susceptible to Sleep

Besides sealing their spells, you can also put Soul of Baramos to sleep. It's recommended to use the Duplic Hat and Snooze combo to cast it twice a turn, but you can also abilities and items, like Sleepy Slap and a Snooze Stick, instead.

All Status Effects

Use Wild Side to Perform Actions Twice

If you want to nearly guarantee that they'll be put to sleep, you can use the Wild Side ability from Monster Wranglers to perform an action twice. If you combine this with a Duplic Hat, you'll be able to cast Snooze four times a turn!
