Boss Battle: Bandersnatch & Jabberwocky¶
Bandersnatch will regularly heal Jabberwocky to full health, as such it is reccomended to kill Bandersnatch first.
Bandersnatch is immune to physical damage and resists magic damage as well, but can be inflicted with Imperil and Deshell to deal more damage with spells.
| Bandersnatch | Stats |
|---|---|
| Level / HP | LV 9 / 254,250 HP |
| Strength / Magic | 781 STR / 781 MAG |
| Stagger / Chain Res. / CP | 200% / 50 Chain Resistance / 16,000 CP |
| Vulnerabilities | All Elem (Halved) / Phys (Immune) / Mag (Resist) |
| Common Drop / Rare Drop | Moonblossom Seed / Starblossom Seed |
Jabberwocky is immune to magic and takes half damage from physical attacks, but can be inflicted with Deprotect, Slow and Poison. Jabberwocky is weak against all elements.
| Jabberwocky | Stats |
|---|---|
| Level / HP | LV 14 / 678,000 HP |
| Strength / Magic | 1,765 STR / 1,765 MAG |

| Common Drop / Rare Drop | Moonblossom Seed / Starblossom Seed |
A duo of Woodwraiths again… First get rid of the larger woodwraith;. Start by having Fang stick Imperil on both guys, Deshell on smaller, and Deprotect on bigger one. Then switch to RAV/COM/RAV setup and smash the bigger Woodwraith to bits. Even though it has higher Chain Gauge, we found it easier to Stagger than the smaller Woodwraith. Small dude will attempt to heal big dude, but it can’t keep up due to your damage output. Once Bandersnatch is history, so is Jabberwocky.
It is possible to obtain Aegisol after battle. Go towards the Save Point for a scene, save your game, then down the ramp for another scene.
This section consists of six rings, and your destination marker is straight ahead. However, there are a couple of accessories that need collecting. You get to them by smashing the first enemy you see.
- Battle: Immortal + [Centaurion Blade RF] / D
Immortal was guarding the teleport behind it. Enter the teleport to be taken to an area with two Treasure Balls with Weirding Glyph (MAG+150) and Adamant Bangle (HP+800). Take next warp into the area with two Treasure Balls containing Scarletite and Elixir . Take final warp to return to original six-ring area. There are no other treasures to be had in this area, so carry on towards destination. Aside Immortal there are five more enemy configurations you can try to slaughter.
- Battle: 2x Aquila Velocycle / A
- Battle: 2x Sacrifice + 4x Dagonite / A
- Battle: Megrim Thresher + Sanctum Templar / A
- Battle: 3x Sacrifice + 3x Dagonite / D
- Battle: 2x Sacrifice + Megrim Thresher / A
Avoid or fight them, up to you. Tip - you can walk below the last Thresher before reaching next Save Point. Save your game, toss Fortisol and Aegisol , then check the floating statue.
Boss Battle: Wladislaus¶
Wladislaus is weak against elements, but has a high stagger point. Wladislaus is susceptible to Daze, although the chance to inflict is low.
| Wladislaus | Stats |
|---|---|
| Level / HP | LV 15 / 734,500 HP |
| Strength / Magic | 2,735 STR / 2,735 MAG |
| Stagger / Chain Res. / CP | 999% / 95 Chain Resistance / 32,000 CP |
| Vulnerabilities | All Elem (Weak) / Phys (-) / Mag (Halved) |
| Common Drop / Rare Drop | Cie’th Tear (25%) / Tear of Woe (5%) |
Our party was Light, Fang and Sazh. Count on Random-Instant Chain synth-ability! Buy some Speed Sashes, and give two to each chr fighting. At start of battle go COM/SAB/COM so that Fang sticks Slow, Deprotect and Deshell on the bozo. This enemy has very powerful physicals - regular one swipes off about 2500 dmg, and Contempt whopping 4500 dmg. When you see it charge for the swipe, switch to setup with SEN to greatly reduce the damage. With Deprotect and Deshell going on you can easily defeat this enemy even without Random-Instant Chain.
- Battle: Wladislaus / D
Instead take the ramp up and collect 3000 GIL from Treasure Ball.
- Battle: Wladislaus + Sanctum Templar / A
Collect 5,000 GIL from the Treasure Ball.
- Battle: Jabberwocky + Bandersnatch / F
Jump up the ledge, and turn right.
- Battle: 3x Sanctum Templar
Save at the Save Point, toss Fortisol and Aegisol, then check the floating statue.
Boss Battle: Tiamat Eliminator¶
Tiamat Eliminator is similar to the earlier boss Ushumgal Subjugator, as it has most of the same abilities, with the exception of Napalm, replaced by Ice Grenade.
| Tiamat Eliminator | Stats |
|---|---|
| Level / HP | LV 52 / 3,825,000 HP |
| Strength / Magic | 700 STR / 0 MAG |
| Stagger / Chain Res. / CP | 200% / 75 Chain Resistance / 48,000 CP |
| Vulnerabilities | All Elem (Halves) |
| Common Drop / Rare Drop | Imperial Armlet / None |
Our party was Light, Fang and Sazh. This boss is pretty tame at the start, not dishing out too much damage. It’s easy for you to Stagger it and inflict some serious damage. When it switches forms by landing on the ground, some of status immunities are gone, so quickly switch to COM/SAB/HLR and have Fang stick Deprotect, Deshell, Slow and Imperil on boss (or at least first two debuffs). Buffing your characters isn’t recommended, because Tiamat has two attacks which dispel your buffs, so why waste time on that… When some debuffs are inflicted on the boss, switch back to RAV/COM/RAV, Stagger it again and wave sayonara to it.
It is possible to obtain Aegisol after battle. Examine the warp ahead to be taken to the final destination.
