Location of the switches

Activate the 3 switches located in 2nd area of the ruins in order to open the doors leading to the final boss. Each switch is protected by multiple enemies, so make sure to bring healing items.

How to Beat Cereberus

Belpha Ruins Boss Cerberus
Battle Tips
・Attack Cerberus from it's side
・Make sure to avoid its charged attack.

Attack Cerberus From its Side

Attack form the side

Cerberus' attacks are very fast and frequent, making it very dangerous to attack him from the front. Be sure to attack Cerberus form its side to reduce the amount of damage you take.

Avoid its Charging Attack

Avoid the Charged Attack

Much like the Nine-Tailed Fox, be sure to avoid the attack where Cerberus envelops itself in a yellow aura. This attack will inflict a great amount of damage if it hits you.

Things To Do Before Entering Belpha Ruins

Raise Secondary Skills such as Sleeping and Farming

Check the Level of other Skills

While the recommended level for completing Belpha ruins is 5, many of the monsters found in the ruins are unexpectedly strong. Therefore it is recommended to raise secondary skills such as Sleeping and Farming, in order to improve your stats prior to entering the ruins.

Everyday activities, such as farming, sleeping and using the baths at the Inn can raise your Skill levels, so be sure to take part in these activities when you can.

Organize And Equip New Armor

Organize and Equip New Armor

While the Leather Glove weapon that you find should be enough to defeat the enemies in the ruins, make sure to try out and equip any new armor that you have found up until this point. After receiving the Armor License form Eliza, you are able to make your own equipment at Studio Palmo.

Recipes are required to build new equipment. Make sure to eat some Recipe Bread everyday to get new crafting recipes.

Equip the Beginner's Crest

Equip the Beginner

Equip the Beginner's Crest that you received form Livia before entering the ruins. By equipping the Beginner's Crest your HP is increased and you use the facilities in the Inn for free. Even if you have the crest, you can't make use of its benefits if you don't use it, so be sure to have it equipped.
