How to Beat Marilith

Tips and Strategies


Soul Shield Asura

Marilith Asura.gif
Asura is a attack that sends out multiple ranged slashes. These slashes can be absorbed with soul shield and sent back to Marilith. In the second phase of the battle, this attack becomes imbued with fire magic making it a more potent attack.

Water Magic trumps Fire

Marilith - Water Magic.gif
Marilith, as the Fiend of Fire, is susceptible to Water-based Magic Attacks. However, Marilith is a lot more agile than Tiamat, and prefers to move around the battlefield more. It would be harder to land a hit unless Marilith is busy with your other companions.

Aim at Tail

Marilith's backside is more vulnerable to strike and slash. While you let your team mates attack it from the front, apply the same strategy used in the fight against Tiamat: Activate Ally Resonance and put your self in a position of advantage.
