Ramza needs to carry the 1v1 against Wiegraf, so Ninja is the safest option with high speed and Martial Arts utility. Agrias provides heavy Holy Knight damage in the second phase, while Mustadio is perfect for locking down the Archaeodaemons with Aimed Shots. Time Mage and Black Mage add damage via Gravity or Graviga to chip down Belias and big -ja spells for AoE nuke.
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() Prepare Ramza for the Duel Phase 1 is a solo fight with Ramza vs. Wiegraf. Gear Ramza as a Ninja with two Morning Stars, Power Garb, Headband, and Bracers (Bracers cost 50,000 gil).Equip Auto-Potion with High Potions and X-Potions in your inventory. Wiegraf’s Holy Knight skills can’t shut down your Martial Arts since it doesn't cost any MP, so stick to ranged Shockwave instead of melee to avoid his brutal Counter. Your HP carries into the next phase, so make sure to heal and end healthy. |
| 2 | ![]() Survive Belias’ Transformation After Wiegraf falls, he transforms into Belias. This phase is rough as he has high stats, powerful AoEs, and spawns four Archaeodaemons. Ramza should immediately pressure Belias in melee as the Dual Wield makes him your best damage source. Agrias joins in with Holy Sword skills for strong bursts. |
| 3 |
Time Mage Provides Tempo Control Gravity or Graviga can chunk Belias for a percentage of HP, bypassing his tankiness. Keep Haste on allies and Slow on enemies whenever possible. Equip Items with Throw Items so your Time Mage can act as a secondary healer in emergencies. |
| 4 | ![]() Black Mage Nukes the Field A Black Mage with at least one -ja spell (Firaja, Thundaja, Blizzaja) can devastate both Belias and the clustered demons. Target overlapping areas to maximize damage. Equip a Japa Mala to avoid Silence, keeping your casting reliable. |
| 5 | ![]() Mustadio Controls the Additional Enemies Use Leg Shot or Arm Shot to stop Archaeodaemons from moving or casting. This prevents them from backing Belias with dangerous spells. With them locked down, your casters can safely charge and your frontline can keep hitting the boss. The battle ends when Belias is defeated so once Mustadio is done crippling the enemies, he should focus his attacks on Belias. After the battle ends, you'll immediately head into the next battle at the Castle's Roof. ► Riovanes Castle Roof Walkthrough |
