How to Beat Venoflage

To aid in your battle against Venoflage in the base game and the Beyond the Dawn DLC, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

1. Attack its Weak Spot
2. Use Kisara's Boost Attack
3. Use Alphen's Boost Attack
4. Ignore the Bees

Attack its Weak Spot

The Weak Spot for Venoflage can easily be found near the bottom of its tail tip. Navigating your way to the back of the beast can easily be done when he performs Tongue Whip and Poison Spit attacks, where it'll stay in place allowing you to circle around to its back. You can also achieve this once it moves locations when it becomes invisible.

Use Kisara's Boost Attack

Venoflage will begin to charge at your party and will move from place to place until it stops. You can end this attack quickly by having Kisara use her Boost Attack while it charges at you – this will force it to collapse to the ground, allowing you to freely attack it.

Use Alphen's Boost Attack

Alternatively, you can always use Alphen and his Boost Attack to quickly stagger an opponent even if the stagger gauge hasn't fully filled up.

Ignore the Bees (Base Game Only)

In the base game, Bees will spawn during the battle's second phase to provide small distractions to the attack of your team. You can choose to quickly defeat them or concentrate all your attacks on Venoflage itself, as the Bees will cause you little harm so long as you remain outside of their attack range.

Perform Quick Attacks on Venoflage's Weak Spot

Although the leadership role can be interchanged between Alphen and Law, choosing Law to start right out of the gate is a better choice due to his ability to perform faster attacks. When Venoflage tries to attack you, it will stand in place, allowing you to use Law to navigate to its tail to attack the Weak Spot there with multiple attacks.

You can switch back to Alphen later on if you wish to have more control over the way he uses his Boost Attacks or Mystic Artes.

Venoflage Attack Patterns

Venoflage's attack patterns do not differ all that much in the base game nor in the Beyond the Dawn DLC. Its attack patterns are as follows:

1. Tongue Whip
2. Poison Spit
3. Stalagmite
4. Invisibility
5. Poison Cloud
6. Charge Attack

Tongue Whip

An attack performed often by Venoflage, it will whip its long tongue around the area, causing significant damage to any party member in the way. This attack, and any damage from it, can be avoided by executing dodges and countering.

Poison Spit

Commonly done after it executes its Tongue Whip attack, Venoflage will stand still before unleashing globs of its poisonous spit around the area. Getting hit by the spit, or the small puddle it leaves behind, will cause large amounts of damage.

Stalagmite

An attack that occurs mostly during the second phase of the fight will see Venoflage casting an Artes that causes rocky Stalagmites to protrude from the ground. This attack can cause minimal damage but does leave you in place for some time, leaving you vulnerable to other enemy attacks.

You can interrupt this attack using Rinwell's Boost Attack.

Invisibility

Not strictly an attack, but rather a move Venoflage does to move away from the group. It will scurry backward to escape your attacks before completely disappearing from your sight. It will then reappear behind the group, staying invisible for a few more moments before reappearing to commence new attacks.

Keep your target locked on to Venoflage throughout this entire process will allow you to track it even when it changes positions.

Poison Cloud

After releasing a road, a great mist will surround Venoflage. This cloud can cause major damage should a character be within its effective area and can inflict the Poison Physical Ailment, which reduces their overall HP over time.

Charge Attack

The Charge Attack that Venoflage performs is slower when compared to the same type of attack that other Bosses can execute, but is nonetheless as deadly as others. Due to its slower speed, Venoflage will be able to adjust its direction more fluidly, making it much more difficult to dodge away from the attack.

Alternatively, you can directly use Kisara during these attacks and cause Venoflage to focus on her. Execute perfect blocks to negate any damage you would otherwise receive from these charges.
