How to Beat Boisterous Roper

To aid in your battle against Boisterous Roper, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

1. Take Out the Ropers First
2. Jump Over Seismic Wave
3. Use Wind Attacks

Take Out the Ropers First

Accompanying the Boisterous Roper will be two other Ropers that prove to be tough distractions for you to fight against, particularly on lower levels. While in the first phase of the fight, take them out first, allowing you to more freely move around the area without having to worry about any of their poisonous attacks.

In the Beyond the Dawn DLC, the Ropers are replaced by Forest Ropers, a slightly stronger variant of Roper.

Jump Over Seismic Wave

Although tricky, it is entirely possible to jump over the Seismic Wave attacks the Boisterous Roper can do. Wait until the edge of the wave is just about to hit you before jumping – alternatively, you can run towards the wave and jump, allowing the momentum in your movement to carry you over the rocks.

Use Wind Attacks

At this stage in the game, Alphen's Severing Wind attack should be available for use. Freely use it against Boisterous Roper to provide significant elemental damage against the Gigant.

Be Patient With Attacks

Due to your level at this stage in the game, some of Boisterous Roper's hits can easily K.O. you if you're not careful. It is also easy to get inflicted with the Poison Physical Ailment from the boss or other Ropers poison attacks.

Take a moment to observe the boss' movements before going on the offensive, as allowing it to attack first can help to conserve healing items you'll need later on.

Focus on Healing

Although some of Shionne's attacks can be quite powerful, such as her Boost Attacks, she should be used primarily as a support character at this stage of the game – keep enemies away from her by distracting them with Alphen, allowing her to cast healing Artes to keep Alphen alive.

Elemental Artes Attacker

Dohalim is a decent choice for both offense and defense because of his elemental and healing artes. Keep a close eye on Dohalim's HP as a secondary attacker so you can use him as a reserve healer in case Shionne goes down.

Kisara will have to take on most of the attacks and shield Dohalim and Shionne so they can heal the party and make sure that everybody stays alive.

Boisterous Roper Attack Patterns

Stalagmite

A common but dangerous attack, Boisterous Roper will cause a rock formation to burst out of the ground beneath wherever your player-controlled character is, causing knock back and a considerable amount of damage.

Poison Blobs

Similar to other Ropers, Boisterous Roper can also spew blobs of poison around itself, leaving a lingering poisonous spot on the ground. Getting hit or damaged by the these spots too often can cause the Poison Physical Ailment.

Melee Swipes

As a defensive measure, the Gigant will be able to swing its arms around to ward you off. This attack knocks you back as well as takes out a significant portion of your HP, so be careful and time your dodges to avoid taking any damage.

Seismic Wave

During the second phase of the fight, the boss can slam the ground to create a seismic wave. The area of effect will be shown in red before a wave of rock surges outward from the boss' position. You can avoid taking any damage from this by jumping over the wave.
