How to beat Fenrir

Details

Fenrir's battle changes heavily depending on a special condition--the choice made during the ascent to Pharos. He is also an easy boss, especially if the player chooses to sacrifice the mini-map to the Altar when asked.

Moveset

Fenrir's nastiest (?) move is Wail which can inflict Blind or Silence. This can be really troublesome, most especially if the party is fond of using Magicks. If items are sealed, the player party may have trouble removing Silence, spelling doom for them.

Gambits

Due to the sealed abilities before this fight, there are several gambits that can possibly be of use. Please refer to the strategy section for some examples of gambit set-ups.

Strategy

The strategy and gambit set-up is hugely dependent on the abilities that were sealed prior to the fight. If items were sealed, make sure that the White Mage has an accessory that negates the status Silence to render Wail useless.

If magicks were sealed, have 3 fighters at the frontline and set X-Potions and Eye Drops to their Gambit sets. If the player chose to sacrifice attack, then delete your save file and re-think your life choices up to this point rely on technicks and magicks to deal and / or mitigate damage.
