Guide to bravely default's Eternian Central Command (Ascent). Learn how to defeat Braev Lee, who has 35,000 HP and is weak to Dark.
Walkthrough
- 1Floor 47: From the start in the top-right, follow the path down to a central crossroads. Take the right path first for chests containing a Gold Hourglass (top-right) and Lilith’s Kiss (bottom-left). The bottom route leads nowhere. The left route has a chest with a Turbo Ether (top-right) and stairs leading up (bottom-left).
- 2Floor 48: Follow the corridors clockwise. A blue locked chest is immediately to the right. Heading straight down leads to a chest with Divine Fists. Following the corridors right, below the blue chest, you’ll find Assassin Daggers in a chest (bottom-right). Going up leads to Edea’s room (top-right) and the stairs to the next area (bottom-right).
- 3Floor 49: Follow the corridors anti-clockwise until you reach the left side. At the junction, head left and down to find a chest with Stardust. Follow the corridor up to go downstairs, where a Holy Lance awaits in a chest. Return to the junction and continue anti-clockwise to find the Adventurer and an elevator to the Council Room. Continue right from the elevator to find a chest with an Elixir. Take the elevator to emerge before Braev.
- 4Boss: Braev Lee: Braev Lee is Level 45 with 35,000 HP (x3) and is weak to Dark. He uses Default to build BP (up to 2 or 3) and attacks with Holy Arts like Heart Strike (single target damage) and Radiant Blast (light damage, pierces Default). He may Brave and connect multiple attacks, sometimes going into negative BP. He uses Giant Slayer if you have more HP than him. It is ideal to hit Braev when he uses Default and Default yourself when he has stored BP. Alternatively, use moves that pierce Default, like the Valkyrie’s Pierce Default or the Monk’s Qijong Wave. Braev Lee uses Recover to restore full health upon defeat, and will do so again the next time. You must K.O. him a total of three times to win. Ration your moves and items, as this fight can take a while.
- 5After defeating Braev, Edea will use his key to open the back door of Central Command, leading to the snowy path to Everlast Tower.
