After a shocking scene, you’ll meet the demon Nuwa, and she is your toughest foe yet. Don’t get disheartened however at her HP, your goal here is simply to bring her down to half HP, a feat that is still difficult. As you can see from the above skills table, Nuwa is a demon that uses primarily Force based skills, so ensuring that will strike no weaknesses should be your first port of call. Your next should be to see if you have the magic on hand that can strike her Fire weakness, the party of Aitvars, Jack-o’-Lantern, and High Pixie is a great one.
If you have your Magatushi Gauge filled from the start, use it right away as the goal here is to bring Nuwa to half HP as quickly as possible. Aramasa is deadly on a Strength-based Nahobino here, especially with Omagatoki: Critical, Jack-o’-Lantern and Aitvaras should have access to medium rank Fire spells and High Pixie can act as a healer while also using Agi when not on healing duty.
Nuwa’s Mazio is the least concerning of all her skills, having a Skill Potential of only +3 means it will deal less damage than her Force skills, especially as Mazio is a weak rank Electric spell. Zanma on the other hand is far more deadly, even if you’re not weak to it, dealing around 80+ damage to an ally without any resistances. Thankfully, this is single target and you can heal it easily, but should she use it twice in succession on the same ally, it will often result in death so be sure to heal up straight away if given the possibility.
(1 of 3) Use a Force Dampener when she uses Magatsuhi
Hopefully you enter this battle with Force Dampeners, if you see her use Magatsuhi, she’s preparing to use Sacrifice of Clay, a deadly Heavy rank Force spell on the entire party while also lowering your attack and defense, suffice to say this will outright kill you if you’re not either Guarding or using a Force Dampener. Thankfully, knowing this information can turn it to your advantage, using the Dampener to use up her turns and hand you back control instantly. The rest of her attack patterns will follow this order until you bring her down to half HP and end the battle and make use of the Nahobino’s Miracle Water skill to heal the entire party should you Guard through Sacrifice of Clay instead of using a Dampener.
