How to Beat The Sunken Spirits

Inflict Group Debuffs

Sunken Spirit Multi Hit

Skills like Starburst Throw and Kasap can be used to weaken the Sunken Spirits, allowing the rest of your team to beat them with ease.

Use Multi-Target Skills

Frizz

Since the Three Sunken Spirits have fairly low HP, you can use Multi-Target Skills against them to clear them all in one go within a few turns.

Hero with a Martial Artist Vocation or Maribel with the Mage Vocation has access to some powerful AoE Skills that can clear this boss fight easily.

List of All Offensive Skills

Conserve HP and MP

Medicinal Herbs

During the Sunken Spirits fight, try to conserve as much HP and MP as possible, since the Gracos Boss will be fought immediately after.

You can also use healing items and mana recovery items once you are down to the last Sunken Spirit, to ensure that the party is healthy before the Gracos fight.
