How to Beat Nimus Origin

Tips
Attack the Legs
Use Boost Attacks to Stun It
Use Air Attacks

Attack the Legs

Nimus Origin is a very large creature that occupies most of the arena you fight it in. It moves slowly, and has a limited range to its attacks – take advantage of this fact by attacking the legs, particularly in instances when it is distracted and unable to focus its attention on your controlled character.

Use Boost Attacks to Stun It

You can cause Nimus Origin to collapse to the ground by using Alphen's Boost Attack – once down, target the glowing red Weak Point it has and use Law's Boost Attack to cause it thousands of damage with a single punch.

Repeating this tactic makes its Weak Point easier to shatter whenever you have the chance to do so in the fight.

Use Air Attacks

Although you can attack its legs, Nimus Origin's central torso is also weak to your attacks. To reach it, simply jump into the air and use aerial attacks to harm it.

Alphen's Stardust is particularly effective in repeatedly dealing it damage from above – it is also an easy Arte to spam for continuous damage in general.

Recommended Party Setup for Nimus Origin

Party Members

Leader	Members
Alphen Lv.67	Shionne Lv.67	Law Lv.67	Rinwell Lv.67

Boost Your Character's Attack Parameters

Although Nimus Origin is a powerful creature that can drain your HP in a matter of hits, its slow movement can allow you to avoid most of its attacks with ease. Due to this, you can use all your character's attacks freely – boost your attack parameters before engaging in the fight by equipping better equipment to cause it significant damage.

Alphen Equipment and Artes

Alphen Lv.67	Equipment
	El Vahf
	Heavenly Armor
	Protect Ring
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Severing Wind	Rising Falcon
Vacuum Blades	Stardust
Dragon Swarm	Mirage
Second Set
Lightning Thrust	Luna Rondo
Shockwave Slash	Devastation
Thunder Fang	Soaring Light Spear

Use Boost Attacks Repeatedly

Give your party a breather by having Alphen use his Boost Attack to cause Nimus Origin to collapse to the ground. This not only allows you to cause uninterrupted damage but also provides you with enough time to heal anyone that needs it.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Shionne Lv.67	Equipment
	Sacred Karma
	Wedding Dress
	Magic Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Burning Strike	Displode
Flare Tornado	Scorched Earth
Explosion	Aqueous Impact
Second Set
Healing Circle	Spear Sweep
Spread	Toxicity
Flare Tornado	Glacio Celestra

Primary Healer

Leave Shionne to heal the party as needed. She can also deal damage in between heals, primarily through long-ranged attacks. Spamming Tres Ventos is a good way to deal damage continuously without having to approach the boss.

Law Equipment and Artes

Law Lv.67	Equipment
	Divine Wrath
	Prismatic Jacket
	Protect Ring
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Dragon Shot	Eagle Dive
Talon Storm	Tres Ventos
Fang Blast	Death Blossom
Second Set
Super Swallow Dance	Glimmer Dragon
Talon Hurricane	Fang Bolero

Use Boost Attacks on Weak Point

Using Law's Boost Attacks at a good angle will deal thousands of damage to Nimus Origin. Also, since the boss is rather slow, if you are controlling Law direclty you can get long combo chain on the boss without getting hit pretty easily. This will boost Law's damage output even more, thanks to his Awakening Perk.

Rinwell Equipment and Artes

Rinwell Lv.67	Equipment
	Oblivion Ring
	Dahnas Animus
	Pierce Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Holy Lance	Electric Discharge
Thunder Blade	Celestial Hammer
Photon Flash	Placid Pool
Second Set
Tempest Whirl	Swallow's Flight
Meteor Storm	Razor Cyclone
Shooting Star	Subzero Confinement

Cast Away From Nimus Origin

Due to the amount of time it takes to cast most of her Artes, it is best to have Rinwell attack from a distance, allowing her to use her more powerful attacks.

Celestial Hammer is a very useful Arte to spam in this fight, especially if Rinwell has the skill to double jump. This attack activates instantly and hits the boss multiple times. Also since Celestial Hammer is an aerial attack it reaches the boss' Weak Point, making it even more useful.

Nimus Origin Attack Patterns

Jump Attacks

Jump Attacks are the most commonly performed attack by Nimus Origin, where it will jump into the air before landing on top of you. It will also commonly perform this type of attack during the beginning of the fight, where it will jump straight up into the air as soon as the fight commences.

Melee Attacks

As a means to defend itself from your attacks, it will use its limbs to try and ward you off when you are attacking it. It will thrust its arms out or stomp its feet, causing small cyclones to appear around where its feet are. These attacks are all enough to cause you to crash to the ground if you are hit, but are avoidable with proper timing in your dodges.

Dark Energy

Its special form of attack, Nimus Origin is capable of using Dark Energy as a means of attack. There are several variations to these, but most involve only small swirls of this energy that can be navigated around easily.
