How to Beat Beelzebub

Beelzebub Strategy
Prepare Contingencies for Elemental Attacks Use a Demon as Bait for Enemy Attacks Use Fire Element to Your Advantage Use Force Dampeners to Nullify Zanbarion Use Dispel Charm or Dekaja Against Debilitate

Prepare Contingencies Against Dark, Ice, Elec, and Force Skills

Beelzebub has a powerful Dark skill called Death Flies that can wipe out your party in an instant if you're not careful. Be sure to have demons in your party that are resistant or immune to Dark skills, or prepare items that nullify the element such as Dark Dampeners.

Beelzebub also has access to other powerful elemental kills such as Mudobarion, Bufubarion, Thunder Reign, and Zanbarion. In addition to nullifying the Dark element, be sure to prepare for Ice, Elec, and Force elements as well.

Use a Demon From Your Party as Bait for Single-Target Attacks

Beelzebub's Mudobarion, Thunder Reign, Bufubarion, and Zanbarion can only target single foes during battle, so it is recommended to recruit a demon that has resistance to either the Dark, Elec, Ice, and Force elements and have that demon learn Taunt so it could act as a lightning rod to Beelzebub's attacks.

Use Skills or Demons Specializing in the Fire Element

Fire is the only element that Beelzebub is weak against, so it is recommended to employ Fire Skills in battle or use demons specializing in Fire Skills to gain some advantage in battle.

List of Fire Skills

Use Force Dampeners to Nullify Zanbarion

Once Beelzebub has collected enough Magatsuhi to fill its gauge, it will use Zanbarion against anyone in your party. Be sure to prepare Force Dampeners when entering the fight, or recruit a Demon that knows Force Block to nullify it.

How to Use and Unlock Magatsuhi Skills

Use Dispel Charm or Dekaja Against Debilitate

Debilitate is a very deadly skill if unleashed by Beelzebub, since it lowers the overall stats of your party. If hit, Beelzebub's attacks will be much more potent while making your attacks have very little effect.

Be sure to pack Dispel Charms to nullify Debilitate, or have a demon possess the Dekaja skill to counteract its effects.
