How to Beat the Bosses in Basara's Hideaway

Green Kaiser

RF5 - Green Kaiser
Battle Tips
・Has quick and hard to predict attacks
・Use magic from a safe distance

Use magic from a safe distance

The first boss of Basara's Hideaway, Green Kaiser, can unleash quick attacks that are difficult to anticipate, especially if you're too close. Prepare your strongest long range magic and attack the boss from a safe distance.

Stay alert at all times as it can also use long range attacks. Though they don't deal as much damage as its melee attacks, try to keep your character healthy to avoid getting taken out in an instant.

Dark Lizard

RF5 - Dark Lizard
Battle Tips
・Watch out for poison attacks
・Cannot be locked onto while invisible

Watch out for poison attacks

The boss' breath attack can inflict the Poison status that will continuously deal damage to your character until it's removed. Bring some Antidotes or use the Medipoison spell to remove this status effect as soon as you can.

Volcanic Dragon

RF5 - Volcanic Dragon
Battle Tips
・Beware of its trampling attack as each hit can deal high damage

Beware of its trampling attack

Avoid being greedy and wrap around the boss each time it prepares an attack. The move that you should watch out for the most is its trampling attack, which can deal high damage on each hit.

The Volcanic Dragon isn't as fast as the two previous bosses so dashing around it before attacking is enough to take it down.

Watch out for enemies that can instakill

RF5 - instakill

The Dark Orcs and Soyrus enemies inside Basara's Hideaway have a chance to inflict instant death on each hit. If this effect procs, you will be sent straight to the clinic regardless of how high your HP is. When you see these enemies, prioritize taking them out and don't let them hit you.

Equipping items with Faint Res will reduce the chances of getting instakilled by their attacks.
