  7. Continue on the path and save your game preparing for a boss fight.

Ez's Level 30 (Optional)

* If you want to challenge the boss the hard way, skip this section.

Why this section exists? Well, that's because at level 30, Ez's "Terra Grenade" can deal a fix damage of 1500HP (1000HP before level 30). This allows him to destroy "Floating Sword" in one turn, hence preventing Vam from using his ultimate move "Rain of Blades" which deal over 3000+HP. Without this strategy, you'd have to tank the damage of the "Rain of Blades" and spend most of the turns reviving and healing your allies.

Now let's get started using the setup below:

  • Equip Ceramic Blade 2.0, Bionic Bangle, Ruby M on Leo.
  • Equip Delta Knuckles, Tough Belt, Pezzottaite S on Zinikr.
  • Equip Quark Edge, Tactical Vest, Vibran Secret Stone on Ez.

    Note: Pezzottaite S restores MP when killing an enemy, good for Zinikr, while Leo can use Focus to restore MP. This way, you can conserve your Heal Stone and Ether S.

Walk around the area before the Save Point until the Dimengeon is overflowed to trigger the battle. Repeat until Ez reaches level 30.

Preparation

Let' replace Pezzottaite S with Ruby M for Zinikr and Vibran Secret Stone with Small Jade for Ez.

Boss: Vam (B-21)

1717. Boss - Vam
1717. Boss - Vam

During the first phase, you won't be able to do any damage to him so take this chance to cast "Analyze" on the "Floating Sword" for intel, then keep hitting him until you die and revive by Jas.

Now the real battle begin.

Steal:
  • (I-22) Elixir
Strategy:
  • His normal attack deals about 1000HP to a single ally, shouldn't be a problem. If an ally targeted by Vam, his next move deals about 500HP for 3 times, this is not bad considering he deals a total of 1500HP with 2 turns.
  • Last skill you wanna watch out is the "Rain of Blades". He more Floating Swords he has he the damage it deals when he casts it. So reducing the number of swords help a little bit. First, he'll deploy 3 swords, then 5 swords, and then 7 swords as his HP get lower.
  • Your only concern is how you manage to destroy all the Floating Swords. If Ez's level is under 30, you cannot destroy all swords when he deploys 7 of them. However, you can still have a chance to win if you like the challenge.
  • Other than that, just fight as a standard boss, where Ez supports, Leo and Zinikr as damage dealers.

Once Vam is defeated, jump into the wormhole (K).
