How to Beat Dogmatic Tower

The following tips can help you beat Dogmatic Tower in battle.

1. Defeat Immoral Snakes First
2. Take Advantage of Their Weaknesses
3. Have Cures for Poison
4. Take Out Reflecting Walls
5. Buff Party and Debuff Enemies

Defeat Immoral Snakes First

The Immoral Snakes cast annoying status ailments on your party so take out these two as fast as possible. It is worth going into the fight with full Theurgy bars to take them out quickly before they have a chance to wreak havoc on your party.

Take Advantage of Their Weaknesses

Dogmatic Tower is weak to Electricity so bring in Akihiko and knock it down with Zionga. The Immoral Snakes are weak to ice, so bring in Mitsuru and have her cast her ice skills. Mitsuru's Theurgy will also target their ice weaknesses. Knock them all down to trigger All-Out Attacks. Keep this up until you defeat all of them.

Note that you cannot use an All-Out Attack if the protagonist is poisoned.

Have Cures for Poison

The Immoral Snakes cast Poison Mist, which inflicts your whole party with Poison. Have a spell like Baisudi, or better yet, Mabaisudi or Amrita Shower, to cure the poison. Items like Dis-Poison, Baisudi Gems, and Amrita Water will also help.
Status Ailments Guide

Take Out Reflecting Walls

Dogmatic Tower will cast Makarakarn and Tetrakarn on itself or its allies, which allows it to reflect magic and physical attacks back at you. There are a few ways to get around these annoying skills:

• Have your attack reflect and tank the damage to remove the wall for good. Best to equip a Persona that can Resist, Nullify or Absorb the reflected damage.
• Do not hit the reflective wall, just use the opposite type to get around it.
• Use Almighty-type skills like Megido to get past the barrier entirely.

Buff Party and Debuff Enemies

This boss is particularly tricky to take out, since they have high defense. Lower their defense with a good skill like Marakunda, which can be learned by a Persona like Girimekhala. Likewise, cast buffs on yourself like Matarukaja to increase your damage dealt and make the fight go by quicker.
