This is a boss fight where you don't have to rush in for the kill because the Chimera will attempt to evade by flying. Instead it will benefit you more if you draw this fight out as much as you can to put yourself in a better position to attack. As long as you keep the Chimera in front of you, you can always predict what and where its next attack will be.
You can let your team mates chip in damage while you observe from a distance. This could help you set up magic attacks if you plan on playing it as a Mage. Your teammates will heal on their own if they get damaged too much, so you need not worry about them. Use Ally Resonance using the left and right buttons on the D-Pad to buff up your teammate's attacks while you find an opening for critical hits.
The Chimera is particularly weak against attacks from behind. Setting up Backstab as a Dragoon will surely land a critical hit. You can also switch to a more agile Job Class such as the Pugilist or the Duelist so you can dodge attacks like Snake Breath and Silencing Stare before they get casted in your general direction.
When you see the snake tail rearing up for the Stone Gaze, that's your cue to put in some distance. If you get caught by the attack it will petrifiy you and leave you vulnerable to attacks.
Once the wings have been soul bursted off, the Chimera will stick to a more ground fight. The Chimera will rely more on abilities and magic based attacks rather than still keep your distance because attacks like Deadly Chorus has a wide area of effect, which will make dodging harder to do

| Body Slam | Chimera flies up in the air then slams on the ground and sends a shockwave for an AoE attack. |
| Corkscrew Dive | Chimera flies up in the air, hovers for a moment and spins in a barrel roll as it tackles downward before flying up again. |
