How to Beat Oyamatsumi

Hit its Weaknesses

Oyamatsumi is weak to Fire and the Mirage status ailment. Exploit these weaknesses to secure more turns for yourself.

Cast Tarunda Every Turn

You should cast Tarunda on Oyamatsumi at least once in every turn to lower Oyamatsumi's attacks. This strategy can help you last longer in the fight as Oyamatsumi will deal lesser damage on your party.

Defend Against Ice Attacks

Use demons who don't have a weakness to Ice. It would be ideal to use demons that block Ice, which will make Oyamatsumi lose its turns. Otherwise, you can use Ice Dampeners or Makarakarn to block Oyamatsumi's Ice attack.

Take Advantage of Omagatoki: Critical

This Magatsuhi skill can save you a whole round without having to consume MP. Or you can use it to extend turns so that you can concentrate on healing and debuffing. After you've cast your attack-blocking skills, go all out with your fire attacks on Oyamatsumi.
