During Subquests, you will sometimes have to fight a boss while doing the quest. This page will pertain to the fight against Amanozako.
Amanozako loses control of her powers and you’ll have to fight her
Where to find Amanozako¶
Amanozako is a part of the “A Power Beyond Control” quest, which opens up after defeating Surt in the main story. Once you accept this quest, the area to the southeast of the Konan 3rd Block Leyline in Shinagawa will now open up, allowing you to explore it. At the end, next to the giant crater, you will find Amanozako, but it takes one special thing to trigger the battle. The moon phase needs to be Full in order for the battle to commence, and it will do so as you approach her.
You’ll unlock this area during this quest, which is where she is located

Recommended Party¶
Amanozako can be a challenging boss, as she has pretty high Magic and despite being called “weak,” Energy Drain can really put a damper on your party’s damage output. There is a way to counter that, a little bit, though, which is in the form of the Divine race’s Magatsuhi skill. If you don’t have the Divine Talisman, you can get it by speaking with an Angel right after defeating Loup-garou in Shinagawa. Sea of Stars, the name of the Magatsuhi skill, recovers a moderate amount of MP to all allies, which can be a lifesaver for a boss like this. A good time to use it is when you see 2-3 characters have under 100 MP or so, as it should push them above 200 total MP.
(1 of 3) Amanozako will use Energy Drain throughout the fight to take some HP and MP
You shouldn’t be using Strength based attacks during this battle, as Amanozako can counter with her Heavenly Counter skill. This skill will counter those kinds of attacks with a weak Dark attack, that also lowers their attack by one rank (Tarunda effect). That rules out Dracostrikes entirely, so while Black Frost could’ve been a good demon to use, he’s not really going to be useful. This means you will be using a Magic-focused party here, as Physical-based ones are going to have to deal with that counter that’s going to nerf the damage output.
Getting onto the actual battle, Amanozako tends to go through different phases, depending on when she charges the Magatsuhi. At the beginning, she will usually stick to using Mazionga and Energy Drain. When she charges the Magatsuhi for the first time, it will be followed by Mazionga, so make sure to toss up an Elec Dampener. After that first one, she seems to add Mazanma into the mix, along with the other two skills mentioned above. The second Magatsuhi charge will have her using Mazanma after it, so you can throw out a Force Dampener.
(1 of 2) You should have characters immune to both Electric and Force to cut down on her turns

It isn’t until after that second Magatsuhi skill that the battle will truly begin. Amanozako will begin using Tentarafoo and Makarakarn, with both being annoying. If anyone gets confused by Tentarafoo, you will want to cure it immediately. Should Amanozako use Makarakarn, then you will need to use something weak to try and get rid of it. The last skill you see on the list above is Diarama, which is only used a single time whenever Amanozako is in critical HP. You will never see it again after that, so thankfully you don’t need to worry about it. The only skills you should be using are Fire and Ice magic, since that is what Amanozako is weak to, while all other elements are resisted in some way. The usual buffs/debuffs will also help in this battle, especially Tarunda.
