Successive Battles

After defeating Lord Vholran, the game will play a short cutscene where it transitions into another boss fight against Sovereign Vholran – a more powerful version of Vholran, and the final battle for Ganath Haros.

How to Beat Vhloran

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

  1. Keep Moving
  2. Liberally Use Dohalim and Alphen's Boost Attacks
  3. Interrupt Him from Casting Artes
  4. Bring Recovery Resources as Backup

Keep Moving

Keep Moving.gif

Due to the combination of Vholran's fast mobility and attacks, as well as his tendency of attacking whichever character you're directly controlling, you can keep running around the map to have Vholran follow you. He will eventually give up the chase and perform an attack that will miss, allowing you time to charge your Boost Attacks or hit him with regular attacks and Artes once he stops moving.

Liberally Use Dohalim and Alphen's Boost Attacks

Liberally Use Alphen

Both Alphen's and Dohalim's Boost Attacks are capable of stopping Vholran's attempts to cast an Arte on top of Rinwell's. However, they're better suited to being used as a means to stagger him, opening Vholran to all the combos and attacks that you can muster until he recovers.

Interrupt Him From Casting Artes

Interrupt His Artes Casting.gif

Vholran's Artes can cause significant damage to you if he casts them successfully. Use Alphen, Dohalim, or Rinwell's Boost Attacks to stop these – which also prevents any non-controlled character from receiving damage from the wide area of effect of his Artes.

Bring Recovery Resources as Backup

While it is easy to move around the map to avoid his attacks, and thus avoid taking damage, it is recommended that you stock up on recovery items before the fight. Specifically, Items that replenish CP are highly valuable in this fight since you will be healing a lot during the fight against Lord Vholran, leaving you with little to work with once the fight against Sovereign Vholran begins.

Equip With All The Best Equipment

Before either the fight against Kalmarzel & Kaldinzel or the fight against Vholran, you will have chances to go back to any Inn to spend money on quality equipment. If you have fought your way through the entirety of the castle, you will have enough Gald and Materials to craft the most powerful Weapons and Accessories for your characters to increase your chances of winning against Vholran.

Bait Out Vholran's Attacks

During the fight, whenever Vholran attempts to use basic attacks against you, he will chase after whichever character you're directly controlling. When using Alphen, you can lead him around until he either exhausts himself and misses an attack, or wait for your Boost Attack to charge before turning around to hit him with it, staggering him.

Dohalim Equipment and Artes

Deactivate Healing Artes

The general strategy for Dohalim as an automated character during the fight is to disable his Healing Artes, allowing Shionne to be the main healer. This frees up Dohalim to focus on attacking with his Dark-type Artes to inflict critical hits against Vholran.

Rinwell Equipment and Artes

Allow to Cast Freely

Although some of her attacks may not deal the most damage, Rinwell can be freely allowed to cast at will against Vholran. Each of her attacks should deal around several hundred damage at this point, provided that she is equipped with the best equipment you can get along with any Accessory that can increase her elemental damage.

Primary Healer

Shionne's primary focus should be on the maintaining the party's HP. Her Boost Attack can be used whenever it becomes available to deal damage to Vholran from afar. Any time Shionne is attacking, you can also manually heal with items from the menu until she can resume casting healing Artes.

Vhloran Attack Patterns

Lord Vholran Attacks

Ice Blast

Ice Blast.gif

One of Lord Vholran's attacks is a blast of ice shards that spread in a small area directly in front of him after he strikes the ground.

Sword Attacks

Sword Attacks.gif

Sovereign Vholran will aggressively chase and slash at the player controlled character. He can be slowed somewhat by Dohalim's Boost Attack, but this effect only lessens his ability to jump during the attack, and not the actual speed in which he chases after the player.

Tidal Wave

Tidal Wave.gif

If allowed to finish his casting, Vholran will cause a great cyclone of water to spring up wherever the player-controlled character is. If you are unable to stop Vholran from casting this Arte, it is better to move away from the party to not get them caught up in the cyclone.

Lex Talionis

Lex Talionis.gif

The attack that Lord Vholran uses at the end of his Over Limit causes multiple water geysers to blast upward from the ground. These can be avoided by looking out for a blue glow on the ground and moving away from them.

Sovereign Vholran Attacks

Elemental Attacks

Dark Attacks.gif

Sovereign Vholran takes and enhances many of the attacks from the previous phase of the fight. Apart from that, he now has the ability to cast several different Artes from all the known elements in-game. There are several attack variants of each element he uses, with effects ranging from:

  • An elemental attack that he directs straight towards you in a straight line;
  • Area of effect attacks
  • Bomb-like balls that bounce around until they dissipate or you walk into them.

Finis Aeternam

Finis Aesternam.gif

Finally, the most devastating of all of Sovereign Vholran's attacks is Finis Aeternam, which causes a massive ice spear to descend down from the sky, slowly sinking into the ground while sending shards of ice upwards, stabbing any party members within range of the area of effect. This attack can potentially K.O.'s party members, no matter how well equipped they are if you're not careful. When you see this attack begin, have Shionne cast Healing Circle to maximize your chances of survival.
