Thieves and Guardians Walkthrough

How to Beat Thieves and Guardians

  1. Bring Ice or Ether Characters
  2. Use Perfect Assists or Dodge to Get S Rank
  3. Turn Right for 10 Polychromes
  4. Go to Second Mini Cargo Truck
  5. Avoid Farbauti's Continuous Attacks
  6. Pursue the Thief

Bring Ice or Ether Characters

Bring Ice or Ether Characters

Enemies found in Thieves and Guardians are especially weak to Ice and Ether Attacks. We recommend bringing characters like Ellen, Soukaku, or Nicole to exploit the weakness of the enemies!

List of All Characters (Agents)

Use Perfect Assists or Dodge to Get S Rank

Use Perfect Assists or Dodge to Get S Rank

To get S Rank, your party's average HP needs to be above 30%. Mitigate as much damage as you can by using Perfect Assists and Dodges against enemy attacks!

How to Do Perfect Assists and Parry

Turn Right for 10 Polychromes

Turn Right for 10 Polychromes

After defeating three waves of enemies, Lycaon will inform you of a side path with supplies. Take the side path to open a Mini Cargo Truck with 10 Polychromes.

We recommend breaking the healing crate/tube you encounter after opening the cargo truck, as the path has a cluster of mines beside it.

Go to Second Mini Cargo Truck

Go to Second Mini Cargo Truck

On the way to the boss, head towards this door to open a second Mini Cargo Truck for another 10 Polychromes. Tread carefully however, the path is littered with mines again!

Avoid Farbauti's Continuous Attacks

Avoid Farbauti

Farbauti is notorious for its attacks that it can chain together. Watch out for orange blinks and time your Perfect Assists and Dodges against them!

Pursue the Thief

Pursue the Thief

After defeating Farbauti, approach the thief to end the commission.
