How to Beat Dark Entity

Boss Tips



Save BP to Time Breaks

Save BP to Time Breaks
During the battle, the Dark Entity will summon Mysterious Fledglings which it will consume to launch a powerful attack the next turn. Make sure you always have saved BPs, enough to Break the Dark Entity at the right time, to cancel the powerful attack.

Break and Boost System Guide

Capture a Shambling Weed

Capture a Shambling Weed
Ochette has the ability to Capture enemy units and utilize their skill during combat. The Dark Entity is a tough unit that will make for a long battle. Having captured a Shambling Weed beforehand will provide you a healing skill that doesn't run out like an item and doesn't consume SP. This will help you last longer in the battle.

Befriend the Beastling

Befriend the Beastling
You can befriend a Beastling in the middle of the crowd before the Boss battle. The Beastling uses an Axe and has the Split Open skill, both of which the Dark Entity is weak to. More importantly, the Beastling has the Resting, Resting skill, which restores both Ochette's HP and SP.

Capture an Island Froggen II

Capture an Island Froggen II
Ochette can also capture an Island Froggen II at the Path to the Tombs of the Wardenbeasts. Their skill, Shot (All), shoots all enemies with arrows, which immediately breaks all of the Mysterious Fledglings that the Dark Entity summons.
