Ptolomea Walkthrough

List of Bosses in Ptolomea

Ptolomea Guardian Bosses

Spastic Turret and Slaughter Drive

Akihiko, Mitsuru and Ken are fantastic party members to bring to this fight. Ken can support with his healing, using Tetrakarn and using his electric skills, Akihiko can provide lots of damage with his Theurgy, and Mitsuru supplies Ice to cover both weaknesses.

Acheron Seeker and Ice Raven

It's recommended to bring primarily Physical Attackers like Akihiko, Metis, and Junpei. This way, you have members who can target the bosses' Strike and Slash weaknesses while also ignoring Acheron Seeker draining your SP.

Ideally, you want to use Junpei since he can target both the Seeker and Raven's weaknesses with Fire and Slash respectively.

Tips and Tricks for Exploring Ptolomea

Party Member Ranking

Rank	Character	Explanation
1	Metis	Amazing character for this area thanks to her amazing coverage with both Wind and Ice along with Strike attacks. You should get Herculean Strike and Gigantic Fist at this point which massively improves your damage.
2	Akihiko	A ton of enemies are weak to either Electric or Strike attacks. If you can get any gear that has Auto-Tarukaja or a Persona with Auto Mataru, can become an offensive threat in terms of both Physical and Magic.
3	Mitsuru	Despite being a magic user, Mitsuru can still act as a great support thanks to her Status Condition Characteristic. Freezing enemies with her Mabufu will almost always guarantee a Crit for other party members.
4	Junpei	Fares better in this dungeon due to the great amount of enemies being susceptible to Physical attacks. His Strike and Pierce attacks are nothing to write home about, but he can still dish out decent damage with his Slash skills.
5	Yukari	Decent healer especially now that she can lower SP costs for healing skills. Not a lot of enemies here really Drain or Block Wind so she's best picked to fill any slot.
6	Koromaru	Amazing coverage with Fire, Strike, Slash, and Dark skills. Can work well with Mitsuru for guaranteed Crits thanks to his Virus Breath combined with Power Howling.
7	Ken	Falls off heavily due to a ton of enemies either resisting or even nullifying Light. Can still work as a Physical Pierce attacker, but his growths lean more on Magic instead of Strength.

Linked Episode Items Are Now Worth Two Twilight Fragments

After beating the bosses in B5 and B17, the locked chests that contain the items for new Linked Episodes now need two Twilight Fragments. These are needed for Junpei's, Akihiko's, Mitsuru's, and Yukari's Second Linked Episodes, so make sure to allot 8 Twilight Fragments for these.

Obtain The Rest of the Parties' Second Theurgies

After finishing B17 of Ptolomea, you can unlock Ken's Divine Intervention and Yukari's Tranquility. But do note that you need to head back to the dorm first to unlock the Theurgies.

Finishing B25 will also unlock Junpei's Blaze of Life and Mitsuru's Blade of Execution. At this point you should now have all second level Theurgies for your party members!

RE Custom Parts Can be Found in a Locked Treasure Chest

After finishing B17 of Ptolomea, you can also get the RE Custom Parts for Aigis's Ambush inside a Locked Tresure Chest. Make you have two Twilight Fragments for it as it allows you to break items with Aigis' dash.
