How to Defeat Belias
EnlargePoints to Consider
- One of the story Espers
- Weak to Water-based attacks
- Shell is a useful buff against his Magicks
- Prone to Quickening chains
In-Depth Battle Walkthrough
Belias is initially fought in the Tomb of Raithwall. He is a boss in the game and also one of the mandatory Espers that you will fight. His attack, Firaja, is quite devastating to an under-developed party; it also has a chance to cast Oil, which makes the already-potent damage of Firaja even deadlier.
His inherent element is Fire making it vulnerable to water element attacks. The items Aqua Shot and Vega are a deadly combination when used against him; so is the spell Aqua or Water Motes. Shell is a useful guard against his Magicks and Oil can be remedied with Remedy or the easily-purchased Handkerchief. A good Quickening chain will finish him off quickly once his HP is in the red.

Belias - Benefits of Use
Belias' benefit to the party is noticeable from the get-go. He unlocks the second License Board for the job system. He is also a very powerful summon for the early part of the story. Painflare and Hellfire are useful spells that will get the party out of trouble in a pinch, while his unlock—Potion Lore 1—is a great addition to the Knight class. Belias is also needed to get through another part of the story, the Giruvegan stage.
