How to Beat Setesh the Punisher
Raise Defence with Buff
Setesh the Punisher attacks often, and does high amounts of damage to one target at a time.
Make sure to cast Buff on Setesh's target to keep them alive for as long as possible.
Heal During Counterattack Stance
Once Setesh Lets Loose, he will enter a defensive stance and counterattack any incoming attacks, while also lowering the attack of the target after a counterattack.
During this time, it is best to play more passively and focus on healing and buffing the party instead of outright attacking Setesh.
Bring a Priest Character
The Priest vocation has access to the most healing and buffing skills during this stage of the game.
Play Hero or Ruff as a Priest to gain access to the support skills that will allow you to survive better against Setesh.
