How to Beat Meneiys

Tips

Play as Shionne

Make Use of Shionne.gif
While directly controlling Shionne is not necessarily the best way to win the battle, she is the best choice for long-ranged attackers available in your party.

By using a long-ranged attacker, you can deal damage from afar while avoiding Meneiys attacks. Select any long-ranged character you wish and attack from a distance, dodging now and then to avoid Meneiys' charges.

Spam An Arte

Spam An Arte.gif
Meneiys is quick to recover from being staggered by Boost Attacks. Also the boss' attacks have a small area of effect range to them, making it difficult to keep a long combo chain going, especially for melee characters.

Choose your most powerful Arte and use it quickly before moving out of the way of its counter-attacks before using it again. Rinse and repeat this process until the battle ends.

Avoid Fighting Too Close to It

Avoid Fighting Too Close to It.gif
In a similar vein to choosing a long-range fighter, you should avoid fighting anywhere close to Meneiys to avoid its powerful attacks. Should any long-ranged character be unavailable or simply knocked out of the fight, what you can do instead is to have the boss aggro to whichever player-controlled character you have and run around in circles around the map to buy time.

This lets your remaining allies deal damage to the boss – be careful, however, as moving too far away from the creature will cause it to aggro towards another character instead.

Bring Recovery Items

As an alternative to making use of Dohalim as your group's primary healer, you can instead opt to make use of items for any of your healing needs for this battle. This will free up Dohalim, adding more focus and firepower to your party while still providing your party with healing should you need it.

Spam Tres Ventos

Use Shionne as your primary controlled character throughout the fight. With her at the helm, stay as far away as you can from the fight, running away from your chosen spot only when Meneiys charges at you. In between each run, take time to spam 3 or 4 repetitions of the Tres Ventos Arte which, while not being the most powerful Arte you have, it is very fast and it tracks your target.

Use Boost Attacks

Use Alphen's Boost Attack at any time outside of Meneiys' Over Limit state to stagger it. Once the boss is stunned, you can switch to Shionne to use her other Artes that require longer cast times until Meneiys eventually recovers. Alternatively you could use this time to fire off more Tres Ventos shots.

Rinwell Equipment and Artes

Allow to Freely Attack

You can leave Rinwell to perform any of her attacks as she wishes. With Shionne being the primary focus of Meneiys, Rinwell will have little trouble casting her Artes safely. This will help deal more elemental damage to the boss over the course of the fight.

Use As Healer

With Shionne drawing aggro for most of the fight, Dohalim can take over as the main healer for this fight. Your allies shouldn't be receiving too much damage from the boss' attacks with it following Shionne, but when needed, use Dohalim for quick heals or revives as needed.

Meneiys Attack Patterns

Elemental Attacks

Elemental Attacks.gif
Meneiys can cycle through a neutral and an additional 3 different elemental states throughout the battle. By order, it will move from:

  • Neutral
  • Fire
  • Water
  • Light

In each of these states, it will be able to perform ranged and close-quarters attacks powered by the given element.

Charge Attacks

Charge Attacks.gif
Meneiys can perform a charge attack regardless of which elemental state it is in. It will charge straight towards whichever character you are controlling, hitting anything in its path.

You can get around these attacks by using Alphen or Kisara's Boost Attacks to stop it in its tracks. Alternatively, you can simply dodge out of the way or stay out of range.
