Kaldinzel Will Absorb Kalmarzel Once It Is Down

During the battle, after eliminating Kalmarzel you will see Kaldinzel absorb it and its powers. Afterward, all attacks that Kalmarzel can perform can now also be performed by Kaldinzel.

How to Beat Kalmarzel & Kaldinzel

To aid in your battle against Kalmarzel & Kaldinzel, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

  1. Equip Party With Earth and Dark Type Artes
  2. Concentrate on Kalmarzel
  3. Overlevel

Equip Party With Earth and Dark Type Artes

Equip Earth and Dark Type Attacks.gif
Due to their being two different enemies for you to fight, with each having its own weaknesses and resistances, it is a good idea to equip your entire party with either Earth or Dark Artes to cause elemental damage against either of the two.

Fire based Artes also works well, particularly against Kaldinzel. In support of this, turn off all Artes that are Light or Water based on the Artes List to force your characters to not attack with the enemy's resistances during the fight.

Concentrate on Kalmarzel

Concentrate on Kalmarzel.gif
Once you reach the second half of Kalmarzel's HP, Kaldinzel will spawn and move into the area you're in. At this point in time, Kalmarzel will be the weaker of the two, so focus all your attacks and attention on it instead of on Kaldinzel.

Overlevel

Although the fight can be done at level 34, it is much easier and more manageable to do the fight at level 35 or higher. This is due to the presence of two boss-type enemies that each have powerful attacks and large HP pools. If you wish to do the fight at 34 or lower, be sure to bring plenty of recovery Items so that you don't tax your CP too much with constant healing.

Use All Boost Attacks

In order to get more damage out from your characters, use their Boost Attacks liberally whenever they become available. In particular, Law, Shionne, Dohalim, and Alphen's Boost Attaks can be used effectively at any point during the fight.

Reserve Rinwell and Kisara's attacks for when either of the two bosses use a charging attack or try to cast Artes.

Primary Brawler Against Kaldinzel

A good majority of Alphen's attacks are effective against Kaldinzel. Alternatively, once the two creatures combine, you can use his Flaming Edge to cause even more damage per hit.

Can Be Interchanged With Law

While Dohalim is effective against Kalmarzel, he can be swapped out with Law once the two creatures combine together. He can also be kept on, but you'll need to provide special attention to both him and Rinwell whenever they're casting their Artes as they are easy targets for Kaldinzel while in the process of casting.

Can Be Swapped Out With Kisara

Once Kalmarzel combines with Kaldinzel, Rinwell can be swapped for Kisara to have one more fighter in the group. She can be kept on, but it is recommended that one between Dohalim and Rinwell be swapped out for another fighter to provide a distraction, allowing for the remaining Arte caster to freely cast without interruptions.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Primary Healer

With Shionne back in your party, you can disable Dohalim's healing Artes to streamline healing abilities back to Shionne. This allows healing to be the main role of one character, freeing up Dohalim to be an attacker while saving CP at the same time. Shionne's party-wide recovery Artes are extremely useful in this fight so be sure to equip them beforehand.

Kalmarzel & Kaldinzel Attack Patterns

Thunder Strike

Thunder Strike.gif
A move done by Kalmarzel will see thunder strike down from the skies to hit a small area that circles around the creature. Anyone caught in the blast will get momentarily stunned, also increasing the chances of them being inflicted with the Paralysis Physical Ailment.

Mine Barrage

Mine Barrage.gif
If allowed to complete its Artes, Kalmarzel will be able to summon orbs of lightning that surround it in a circle. It has the same effects as that of the Thunder Strike attack but does not move around.

Tail Swipe

Tail Swipe.gif
An attack that can be done by both creatures but something that Kalmarzel does more of, they will be able to twist their body around to swipe their tails at you. This attack can also cause a temporary stun, leaving you vulnerable to other attacks.

Charge

Charge.gif
Both creatures can charge your team. This attack causes significant damage against your party, so be sure to get out of the way or have Kisara use her Boost Attack to stop it.

Alternatively, the two can also use their claws to try and attack you, stepping forward while swiping its claws.

Roar

Roar.gif
An attack both zeugles do frequently, they will be able to roar and disrupt your attacks. This attack has a wide range, so even attacking it from behind will get you momentarily stunned.

Freeze Breath

Freeze Breath.gif
As it roars, ice will begin to form ahead of it. It is recommended that you stay out of the way of Kaldinzel whenever it roars, as even just the roar itself is enough to cause you some damage.

Freeze Lancer

Freeze Lancer.gif
If allowed to finish its Artes, Kaldinzel will be able to summon shafts of ice that then blasts towards one of your party members, causing significant damage. Use Rinwell to disrupt the Artes.
