Calamity's Edge Walkthrough Summary

1 Go outside the Silo for a cutscene
2 Enter the second gate behind the Silo to reach Calamity's Edge
You won't be able to bring any party member through the gate, but you can still bring tamed monsters.
3 Reach for the gate at the end of the path while defeating the monsters and destroying the gates along the way.

You won't be able to bring any party member through the gate, but you can still bring tamed or captured monsters.

There will be ghosts that will kill you in one shot. Eat Curry Manju to make you invulnerable to fainting or quickly kill them to avoid being insta-K.O.ed.
4 The last gate, with the Black Drake, can only be destroyed with elemental damage like Fire or Water. Use spells if you do not have any elemental weapons.
5 Defeat Gideon.
6 Enter Audea through the fissure and defeat The Fathomless Dread.
7 Watch the ending scenes

How to Beat Gideon

RF5 - Gideon
Battle Tips
・Recommended level is 120
・Has quick and hard to predict attacks
・Prepare HP and RP recovery items

Keep your Health High

RF5 - Gideon

Gideon has the most versatile moveset among the bosses. He can close the distance with sword thrusts and can unleash quick sword slashes. Gideon can also use spells that gets even stronger and bigger during the second phase.

Bring healing spells and food items that recover both HP and RP. Keep your character healthy as much as possible since you won't always have the chance to heal.

How to Beat the Final Boss: The Fathomless Dread

RF5 - The Fathomless Dread
Battle Tips
・Back away after each combo

Back Away After Doing a 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 Level 120, have some HP and RP recovery items, and good weapons and armor without too much trouble.

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.
