How to Beat Smithy Final Boss and Strategy

Equip Peach with the Safety Ring Have Peach Heal and Revive Allies Buff Your Team with Geno Boost Defeat the Smelter First Focus on Smithy's Head Use Ultra Flame on the Treasure Chest Dangerous Boss Attacks

Equip Peach with the Safety Ring

The Safety Ring is extremely valuable in this fight since it can protect a member from a lot of Smithy's elemental attacks, status ailments, and instant death attacks.

It is best that this accessory is equipped to Peach, who will be able to safely heal and revive allies in the fight!

Best Equipment for Each Character

Have Peach Heal and Revive Allies

Smithy is capable of dealing a lot of damage every turn, so it is recommended you heall regularly with Group Hug. When needed, you can revive allies with Come Back.

Keep in mind that Smithy's Tank special move Magnum is an instant death attack, so make sure you can use Peach's Come Back move by then!

Best Special Moves for Each Character

Use Items as Substitutes

In case Peach cannot recover enough HP or revive your party members in time, it is good to stock up on items such as Croaka Cols and Pick Me Ups!

Buff Your Team with Geno Boost

Use Geno Boost to keep your members' attacks and defense up at all times. Considering that Smithy deals a lot of damage, it is best that you regularly get the increased defense effect from using the special move's timed bonus!

Reapply Buff from Smithy's Shredder

In Smithy's second form, his Casket uses the special move Shredder which nullifies any attack and defense buffs your party members have. Make sure to apply Geno Boost boost again to ensure that your high damage and defense boosts are maintained.

Defeat the Smelter First

It is recommended to defeat the Smelter first since it continuously manufactures Shypers to help out Smithy. Shypers deal a great deal of damage to your party. Make sure they do not overwhelm you!

Once the Smelter has been taken out, prioritize Smithy. Dealing enough damage will send him into his second phase.

Use Rock Candy for High Defense Enemies

The Smelter has high defense, so it would be a good idea to use Rock Candy which deals 200 damage to all enemies!

Focus on Smithy's Head

Smithy's second phase is split into two parts: his body and his head. Focus only in his head since his body is capable of respawning.

Smithy will start changing his head throughout the battle. The order in which they change is random.

He starts of with his regular head on the first few turns, and will start changing to others. However, he will never return his head's original form after.

Use Ultra Flame on the Treasure Chest

Among Smithy's special heads, the Treasure Chest is notably weak to fire. It is recommended to use Mario's Ultra Flame when he is using this head to deal lots of damage.

Be careful when dealing with Smithy's Wizard, prioritize using physical attacks since this head is resistant to all elements!

Dangerous Boss Attacks

First Phase Attacks

Watch out for Smithy's party-wide special attacks like Sledge and Meteor Swarm.

His single target fire special unblockable move Mega Drain will deal damage but can be nullified by equipment like Safety Ring, Lazy Shell (Armor), and Super Suit.

Second Phase Attacks

Of all the heads, only the Tank is capable of dealing a Mortal Blow to a single party member with the special move Magnum. This can be countered with any equipment that nullifies mortal blows.

His Wizard has the strongest and largest arsenal of special moves like Dark Star. Keep your healing options ready during this time.

Watch out for his Shredder move when his using his Casket, since this will clear your party of any buffs!
