Meneiys can be found in the Nevira Snowplains during the Sub-Quest The Phantom Flower of Nevira. From the secret tunnel you use to get into Cyslodia, simply head westward to the banks of a small island in the middle of a lake to trigger the fight.

One of the mechanics of the boss is that it will change its element 2 times shown according to the color of its horns. First it will be Fire then Water then finally Light/Electric. Make sure your characters have a good spread of elements that can target its changing weaknesses.
Meneiys will charge at your characters a lot during the battle so you need to use Kisara's Boost Attacks at the right moment. Wait for the red aura around the character and having a lot of distance between you and the enemy will give you enough time to land the Boost Attack successfully.

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.
In addition to this, Meneiys will move around the battlefield a lot, making it easy to miss powerful attacks that take a long time to charge up. It is advisable to use attacks with shorter cooldowns to avoid this and to purchase abilities from the skill panel that make charging up magic artes faster.

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.

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.

Alphen

Rinwell
Lv.50 |
Dohalim
Lv.50 |
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.
Shionne
Lv.50 |
Equipment |
|---|---|
| Sclopetum Rene | |
| L'Aze Phiarquis | |
| Magic Emblem | |
| Ground Artes | Aerial Artes |
| First Set | |
| Burning Strike | Displode |
| Flare Tornado | Scorched Earth |
| Explosion | Tres Ventos |
| Second Set | |
| Healing Circle | Toxicity |
| Freeze Lancer | - |
| Gravitas Field | - |
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.
Alphen
Lv.50 |
Equipment |
|---|---|
| Sodeil Arthalys | |
| Reflector Armor | |
| Protect Ring | |
| Ground Artes | Aerial Artes |
| First Set | |
| Lightning Thrust | Rising Falcon |
| Mega Sonic Thrust | Stardust |
| Sword Rain: Alpha | Mirage |
| Second Set | |
| Swallow Blade | Devastation |
| Demon Fang | Luna Rondo |
| Severing Wind | Soaring Light Spear |
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
Lv.50 |
Equipment |
|---|---|
| Historia Rene | |
| Holy Cloak | |
| Pierce Emblem | |
| Ground Artes | Aerial Artes |
| First Set | |
| Holy Lance | Electric Discharge |
| Thunder Blade | Celestial Hammer |
| Photon Flash | - |
| Second Set | |
| - | - |

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.
Dohalim
Lv.50 |
Equipment |
|---|---|
| Caduceus Rene | |
| Elemental Cape | |
| Magic Emblem | |
| Ground Artes | Aerial Artes |
| First Set | |
| Negative Gate | Demon's Lance |
| Bloody Howling | Tornado Drive |
| Elusive Deity | Soaring Blast |
| Second Set | |
| Heal | Eagle Rage |
| Seismic Rupture | Rotating Piledriver |
| Solitary Captivity | Sonic Spear |
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 can cycle through a neutral and an additional 3 different elemental states throughout the battle. By order, it will move from:
In each of these states, it will be able to perform ranged and close-quarters attacks powered by the given element.

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.

I don't understand why this boss hits so hard. With a level 70 party I'm still pretty much dying in two-three hits. No other level 50s bosses give me this much trouble.
