How to Beat Tormented Limbs

To aid in your battle against Tormented Limbs, here are some tips that you can utilize in your fight.

1. Attack with Light-based Artes
2. Use Alphen's Boost Attack to Stagger
3. Attack From Behind

Attack with Light-based Artes

As a Zeugle that is strong in Dark, Tormented Limb's weakness is that element's polar opposite – Light. Arm your party with light-based Artes to deal more damage per hit against the beast. In particular, Artes that can deal multiple hits per execution such as Alphen's Lightning Thrust work best to shorten the length of the fight.

Use Alphen's Boost Attack to Stagger

With its Weak Point placed on its chest, it is difficult to attack Tormented Limbs head-on due to the possibility of its counterattacks. By making use of Alphen's Boost Attack, you can stagger the monster, allowing you to freely target its chest until it recovers.

Attack From Behind

Whenever Tormented Limbs will try to attack you with its forward-facing attacks such as Poison Bombs or Energy Beam, it will its backside open to attack. Take advantage of the situation to freely attack it from behind – be sure to watch out for its melee attacks that can allow it to turn around to face you immediately, however, such as its Teleport Attacks.

Recommended Party Setup for Tormented Limbs

Party Members

Leader	Members
Alphen Lv.44	Law Lv.44	Rinwell Lv.44	Shionne Lv.44

Bring Plenty of Recovery Items

The entire area that Tormented Limbs dwells in is quite a challenging area to go through even at the suggested level. The distance from where you appear in the area to where you get to Tormented Limbs is filled with enemies and no campfires to take a rest from. There is a Recovery Point that you can touch before the fight, but in case that you need healing from the regular enemies you fight if you run out of CP, consider bringing along plenty of recovery items.

Spam Lightning Thrust

The Artes Lightning Thrust is an effective way to deal elemental damage against Tormented Limbs. Spam it frequently, and combine it with Rising Falcon to immediately come crashing back down to the ground. Repeat this motion until the beast attacks again, or if Alphen's Boost Attack is available – you can trigger the Boost Attack and repeat this action, or focus now on its Weak Point.

Disable All Other Artes

While you can keep her other Artes enabled in her Artes List, it is recommended that you turn them off if you're not planning on controlling Rinwell directly. This allows her to automatically use nothing but Light-based attacks, making her a good primary damage dealer by way of her elemental attacks.

Shionne Equipment and Artes

Shionne Lv.44	Equipment
	Supreme Ignis Roar
	Diamond Once Piece
	Magic Emblem
Ground Artes	Aerial Artes
First Set
Tonitus Celestra	Displode
Luke Celestra	Scorched Earth

Burning Strike	-
Flare Tornado	-

Primary Healer Role

So long as you can keep disrupting Tormented Limbs' attacks, you can effectively receive little to no damage from the beast, allowing Shionne to make use of her own Light-based Artes against it.

Nonetheless, if you're planning on deactivating any of her Artes, be sure to keep recovery Artes active so that there is at least one person in your active party that can provide you with healing.

Tormented Limbs Attack Patterns

Teleport Attack

While it can perform this attack during the first half of the battle, it will more frequently repeat this attack when it enters its Over Limit mode in the second phase of the fight until it tires out. It is best to avoid these attacks and keep your distance rather than trying to execute a Perfect Dodge.

Poison Bombs

With the ends of its limbs all glowing green, Tormented Limbs will shoot out balls of poison at you and your party. Getting hit by this attack too much will result in being inflicted with the Poison Physical Ailment, causing you damage until you can heal from it.

Energy Beam

As it usually performs this attack in the middle of the area, it is easy to tell when this attack is coming. You can choose to either perform a Boost Attack from Alphen on it to disrupt its actions or simply allow it to fire. It is easy to avoid its beam, allowing you to attack it from behind.

Charge

An attack that it seldom performs, the beast will have its limbs glow red before darting forwards at your party, spinning around to inflict as much damage as it can against you. Disrupt this attack with a well-placed Boost Attack from Alphen or Kisara, or simply dodge out of the way to avoid the possibility of damage.
