Lizardman King Boss Battle Guide

Stay close to its side and continue attacking

When Lizardman King is close, it will continuously use its Pile Bunker attack, which has an extremely limited range directly in front of itself. This makes it easy enough to stay to its side and avoid the attack while remaining in close range. Continue turning around as Lizardman King slowly tries to keep up, while hitting it and racking up the damage.

Its Forward Sweep attack has a wide range, but deals low damage. It moves with its right arm first, so move counterclockwise around it to better see the attack coming.

Watch out for surrounding enemies' Magic

If you are inflicted with the Burning status by a nearby enemy's Fire, it's best to simply move away and wait for it to heal or cast Clear instead of trying to power through. As Burning will half your Defense, you won't be able to handle a close-range punch-out anymore.

You can instead take out the surrounding enemies first, but Lizardman King's Five-Arrow Shot is difficult to avoid and will cause trouble when dealing with the enemies. If you decide to take them out, be sure to watch your health when doing so.

Use the Saws against Lizardman King

When you step on the switches in the upper-left and bottom-right of the field, spinning saws will emerge out of the ground. You'll take damage if you are hit by them, but so will the Lizardman King.

They won't deal significant enough damage to really encourage going out of your way to step on them, but enemies will sometimes step on the switches and trigger the Saws, so watch where you step!

Lizardman King Attack Phases

Lizardman King Abilities and Attack Patterns

Lizardman King's attacks will change in response to the players' distance. Its Five-Arrow Shot has a wide range, and from a medium distance, it can be unavoidable. Use Defend regularly to absorb the damage.

Attacks change in Cycles 2 and 3

From Cycle 2 on, its Five-Arrow Shot will be upgraded with the ability to inflict the Burning status. It will not use the attack so long as you stay close, but you'll need to be careful if you happen to be hit by it, as Burning will half your Defense and leave you highly vulnerable.

In Cycle 3, this will be switched out with the Freezing status, but this doesn't cause so much of a problem.
