Try to dispatch weaker enemies first before engaging, such as the Mechons stationed above the M97 Commander. |
| 8 |  Breach the vent and disable the barriers. After gathering the materials, return to the Factory Vent and blow it open with your brand-new bomb. Follow the path through there and then take a detour to disable barriers blocking your way with a switch. Be prepared for an ambush from Fairy and RAPID-type Mechons. |

Tips and Strategies
Doubting the Quest Guide
The Quest Guide works as a nearest path guide to your current destination. The quest guide however, ignores all enemies in the path. It is sometimes, better to steer your direction and look for an alternative route to arrive at your destination safer/faster.
Boss Strategy Guide
Gadolt
Gadolt fights you with several laser-based moves. These attacks are ether attacks, so build up your HP and Ether Defense to survive Gadolt's onslaught. Bringing him down to 25% HP will end the 1st fight. He isn't that difficult during the first fight, but things will greatly change during the 2nd one.
Gadolt Recommended Characters
 Shulk
|
 Dunban
|
 Riki
|
Gadolt is immune to break, but Riki's Roly-Poly can force topple on him. Toppling him can greatly change the tide of the fight to your favor. Unleash Dunban and Shulk's arts when Gadolt is toppled (should you get the chance). Successfully doing so will end the fight rather quickly.
Gadolt (2nd Fight)
This time, Gadolt fights for real. He has several ether-based attacks, so Evasion and Defense stats play a minimal role in this fight. He summons two Mechon allies and uses the same moves he had during the first fight. Don't let this fool you, as a DPS-type boss with other units taking aggro for him is much more challenging.
Gadolt Moveset
- Linear Laser V - Deals massive damage to all units in front of Gadolt.
- Blow Jaggy - Inflicts Daze to all enemies in front of him.
- Quick Cannon - Inflicts Ether damage and paralyze. This is his most used move among his arsenal.
- Shield Cal - Allows him to summon two Mechons to fight together with him. He will always use this at the beginning of the fight.
- Ether Jammer - Inflicts Ether Defense Down. A seemingly innocent move.
- Laser Bullet - Deals massive amounts of Ether Damage to the whole party.
Gadolt Moveset Counters
- Linear Laser V - It's a fifth rank talent art. A monado art shield rank 5 is necessary to block this move.
- Blow Jaggy - A rather fast move. It is extremely hard to counter this move when it is used, so it's suggested to just position yourself away from your two other characters. This way, you'll be able to avoid all three characters getting Dazed (which will usually lead to Gadolt using another move, spelling a team elimination).
- Quick Cannon - Similar to Blow Jaggy, Quick Cannon targets a single character. Avoid grouping up to lessen the amount of casualty this move can cause. Make sure that the target is not suffering from Ether Defense Down. If the character does have the debuff, use Sharla's Cure Bullet to immediately remove the debuff.
- Shield Call - Nothing to do about this, just focus on removing the summoned Mechons when they arrive as soon as possible.
- Ether Jammer - This move is the reason why Sharla is a better support than Riki in this fight. The debuff this causes can greatly amplify the damage received by your party. Have Sharla remove the debuff with Cure Bullet to survive Gadolt's following attacks.
- Laser Bullet - The move that will most likely cause your defeat. Laser Bullet can eliminate a low leveled party in a single hit, even at full health. A detailed explanation to play against this move will be listed below.
How to Survive Gadolt's Laser Bullet
Make sure to save up your Party Gauge! A quick fact about Chain Attacks: Chain Attacks cannot be canceled by any other means once in use. Timing a good Chain Attack against Gadolt's Laser Bullet will still cause your party to take damage, but your character's health will never fall below 1.
Time your Chain Attack at the same time Gadolt uses Laser Bullet, and most of your character's HP will fall in the red zone. Then chain some healing arts to recover from the move. This will allow you to continue the fight and you will only lose a whole party gauge.
Gadolt Recommended Characters
|
Shulk
|
Dunban
|
 Sharla
|
Evasion isn't a good stat for this battle, but Dunban is still a better choice than Reyn in this fight. Dunban can dish out more damage than Reyn, which is great as prolonging the duration of this battle will prove hard. As listed above, Sharla's value in this fight is immeasurable. It's the doctor that you'll have to call when you're hurt, and Gadolt can hurt you a lot.
Egil
Similar to Gadolt, Egil will summon mechon allies to his side to fight for him. These Mechons aren't durable, but the flying mechon can use Sacrifice if damaged then left alone. A group of flying mechon using Sacrifice at the same time will prove fatal to your team.
Watch out for Egil's Homing Missile. It is capable of wiping out your whole party in a single-use, but it can be blocked by Shield. Just keep your Monado Arts ready and Egil will fall easily.
Egil Recommended Characters
|
Shulk
|
Dunban
|
Riki
|
Yaldabaoth
Yaldabaoth is a high-level enemy. It cannot be defeated. Just endure and survive the fight. Yaldabaoth will use Catastrophe soon, then the fight will end.
Yaldabaoth Recommended Characters
|
Shulk
|
Sharla
|
Riki
|
A sustain setup is recommended for this fight to survive Yaldabaoth's assault. You can also attempt to level Shulk up so you can hit Yaldabaoth and build up your talent arts. If you can always keep Monado Shield up, his Alchemy talent art will prove useless (which is also his only high damaging move).
