Jump to a Section

Attack Behavior

Normal State Speed

The Feral Glavenus has 3 states which are its Normal, Enraged and Tail (Heated) state.

Normal State

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Speed Attack
Turn 2 Feral Cold Snap
Turn 3
From Enraged State		 Flame Chakram (Will Change to Tail (Heated) State)

The Normal State of the Feral Glavenus will consist primarily of Speed Attacks and powerful Fire or Ice type moves. Feral Cold Snap is a powerful AoE Ice type skill that can apply skillseal but will also apply Wyvernsoul Down to itself.

After it releases Flame Chakram, the Feral Glavenus will switch to the Tail Heated State.

From the Normal State		 Technical Attack
Turn 2 Feral Cold Snap
Turn 3 Technical Attack
Turn 4 Feral Chilling Dance (Will continuously persist until it releases the attack then transition to the Normal State)

In the Enraged State, the Feral Glavenus will use Technical Attacks as well as a new Ice type move Feral Chilling Dance. This move will also apply Wyvernsoul Down to itself and will continuously be used until it releases the attack.

This means that despite Paralysis, Stuns or Kinship skills, to transtion to the next stage, the Feral Glavenus will keep trying to use the skill.

Tail (Heated) State

Turn Count Move
Turn 1
From the Normal State		 Tail Blade (Power Attack)
Turn 2 Scorching Blade
Turn 3 Tail Blade (Power Attack)

During the Tail (Heated) State, the Feral Glavenus will use Power Attacks and a powerful Fire skill called Scorching Blade. This move can apply burn to the targets.

Recommended Monsties for the Feral Glavenus

Deviljho iconDeviljho Soulseer Mizutsune iconSoulseer Mizutsune

The Deviljho and Soulseer Mizutsune are recommended to fight against the Feral Glavenus due to its weakness to Water and Dragon elemental skills. Keep in mind however, that the Soulseer Mizutsune is weak against Fire elemental moves so make sure to switch it out during those turns.

The Feral Glavenus will be at Level 60 when you fight it so level up yourself and your party to be at least Level 55.
How to Level Up Fast

Stock Up on Zest Pills and Healing Items

The Feral Glavenus will apply Skillseal during its backlash attack in the Normal state or when it releases Feral Cold Snap. Stock up on Zest Pills to counter when your character has the skillseal ailment.

In addition to this, the boss will persistently release its strong attacks, Flame Chakram or Feral Chilling Dance, until it shifts state. In such cases, when the move cannot be evaded, the team will have to tank the attack and recover with healing items afterwards.

List of Items

Equip the Vangis Armor

The Vangis Armor is an excellent option for this battle as it has a good resistance against both Fire and Ice Elemental attacks.
List of All Armor

Equip Ice or Fire Resistance Genes

To counter the boss' strong Fire and Ice type AoE attacks, players can opt to equip their Monsties with Fire and Ice Defense type Genes such as Fire Def Boost. Players can specifically transfer these genes through the Rite of Channeling.

List of All Genes or Monstie Skills

Apply Paralysis, Darkness and Boost Evasion

Apply Paralysis
The Feral Glavenus is susceptible to Paralysis and Darkness, so make sure to use Monstie Skills or items like the Flash Bomb to inflict these ailments. Having these ailments are great for delaying damage or evading attacks.

Attack the Head During the Enraged and Tail (Heated) State

Received Skillseal
Focus on destroying the Head during the Enraged or Tail (Heated) State, instead of attacking it during the Normal State as this will cause a strong counterattack Backlash Seal.

Deplete Wyvernsoul After Feral Attacks

Wyvernsoul Down
After unleashing Feral Chilling Dance or Feral Cold Snap the Feral Glavenus will apply Wyvernsoul Down to itself so make use of this opening to deplete the gauge.
