How to Beat Monk Captain Gideaux


Defeat the Mage Monk First

Metaphor ReFantazio - Gideaux - tip 1.png
We recommend that you defeat the monk first as he deals the highest damage among the enemies and can heal as well. Cutting him off early from the battle will make taking down the Spearmonk a lot easier. The Mage Monk is vulnerable to Physical attacks like Pierce, Slash, and Strike Skills.

Do Not Attack Gideaux

Metaphor ReFantazio - Gideaux - Tip 2.png
Remember that you cannot hurt Gideaux because of the King's Magic so avoid skills that will target all enemies. Gideux will mostly be using light spells and will buff the Monk Mage and Spearmonk.

Taunt the Enemy and Heal as Needed

Metaphor ReFantazio - Gideaux - Tip 3.png
Fully utilize your Knight Archetype by having her tank most of the damage for the party with the Knight's Proclamation Skill. This will stop your enemies from doing skills that would attack all members of the party. Provide healing with Dei as needed.
