How to Beat Gideon

Battle Tips

・Recommended level is 120 ・Has quick and hard to predict attacks ・Prepare HP and RP recovery items

Keep your health up

RF5 - Gideon

Gideon has the most versatile moveset among the main story bosses. He can close the gaps with sword thrusts and can unleash quick sword slashes if you're using melee attacks on him. In addition to sword attacks, Gideon can also use spells that gets even stronger during the second phase.

Bring healing spells and food items that recover both HP and RP and be sure to keep your character healthy as much as possible since you won't always have the chance to heal, considering Gideon's speed.

How to Beat the Final Boss: The Fathomless Dread

Battle Tips

・Back away after each combo

Back away after each combo

RF5 - attacking The Fathomless Dread

You can attack The Fathomless Dread on any part of its long body since it doesn't have a specific weak point. After completing a combo, back away from the boss as it will likely unleash an attack that will be difficult to dodge if your camera is focused on it.

The Fathomless Dread is much easier than Gideon and there are no particular attack patterns to watch out for. As long as you're around lv120 and you have some HP and RP recovery items with you, you can take down the final boss without struggling too much.

I'd like to make a slight correction here. You may not be able to bring any Townsfolk through the gate to Calamity's Edge to fight against Gideon or The Fathomless Dread, but you CAN bring monsters! I had the color fairies (Red, Yellow, and Blue) with me, and they made the boss fights much, much easier. I can only imagine how much easier things would be if someone brought tamed Boss Monsters. That's all~ Thanks for the info and the content! Super helpful during my playthrough.
