How to Beat Shadow Queen (Final Boss)
- In the First Form, Conserve Your Items
- Attack Three Times in a Row to Remove Invincibility
- Take Advantage of Shine Sprite Bingo
- Use Spread Attacks for Her Hands
- Avoid Charge Attacks With Vivian's Veil
In the First Form, Conserve Your Items
During her first form, you need to conserve your items because, when her HP is reduced by half, she will transform into her real Shadow Queen form, which is where the real fight begins.
After the transformation, Mario and his partner's health and FP will be fully replenished, so you don't need to waste any items during the first phase of the fight.
Attack Three Times in a Row to Remove Invincibility
After she transforms, she becomes invincible, but you can cancel it out by attacking her three times in a row. You can let either Mario or a partner attack, then the other one can heal Mario since only one of them needs to attack.
Always prioritize in healing Mario because when he gets knocked out you will immediately lose the battle. It's also a good strategy to use Guard and Superguard during the turns when you can't damage her.
Take Advantage of Shine Sprite Bingo
Once the Shadow Queen's invincibility is removed, you will be guaranteed a Shine Sprite Bingo which fully replenishes your HP, FP, and SP. You can take advantage of this by using your most powerful attacks and special moves to deal as much damage as you can.
Use Spread Attacks for Her Hands
Use Vivian's Fiery Jinx and Bobbery's Bob-ombast moves to defeat the Shadow Queen's hands and damage the Queen herself at the same time.
Note that the hands revive every turn, but it's a good idea to defeat them to reduce the damage your party will take.
