How to Beat Coeurl

Step-by-Step Guide

Parry and Evade Attacks

FF16 - Parry and Evade Attacks

The Coeurl will constantly pounce at you followed by a combination of 360 degree spins, whiplashes, and electrocuted paw attacks. You can easily predict its movements as you'll notice that it usually emits electricity from its body before attacking or lunging at you, giving you a clear indicator of when to time your dodges or achieve a successful parry.

Attacks Are Faster During Enraged Mode

After staggering it for the first time, it will enter enraged mode for the latter half of the battle, gaining more speed and lesser time intervals shifting between attacks.

Use Phoenix Shift to Evade Whipcrack

FF16 - Phoenix Shift to Evade Whipcrack

The Whipcrack ability has the Coeurl bring up its long tendrils and whip them at you. Use Phoenix Shift to get away from it as normal dodges won't be as effective due to how far these tendrils can stretch out.

Phoenix Shift Effects and How to Unlock

Avoid the Electricity on the Ground During Its AoE Skill

Watch out for electricity charging up on the ground during the Wild Charge attack as these will call down lightning from the skies and can deal a significant amount of damage should you get struck by it. At the same time keep your eye on the boss as it will run around and leap at you.

Prevent Electrocharge From Discharging

FF16 - Prevent Electrocharge

Once it starts charging up Electrocharge, use all your abilities and combos at the Coeurl until you fully deplete the meter at the top right of your screen. Take note that it will also stike down electricity from the sky during these so reposition each time you finish up your combination of attacks.

Create Ability Combinations Using Different Eikons

You can create different kinds of combos by casting out your abilities then switch to different Eikons during cooldowns to maximize your damage potential!
