Sub-Scenario: Conjurer's Rematch

Stuck on the Conjurer's Rematch sub-scenario in Bravely Default? Learn the boss weaknesses, best strategies, and item drops to defeat Barbarossa, Yulyana, and Mephilia.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Barbarossa: Level 66, 75,000 HP, Weak to Lightning
• Yulyana: Level 66, 70,000 HP, No elemental weakness
• Mephilia: Level 66, 65,000 HP, No elemental weakness

Phases:

1. Phase 1: All three bosses active. Barbarossa uses heavy physical attacks like Double Damage. Mephilia casts powerful non-elemental summon magic like Susano-o. Yulyana mixes physical attacks like Amped Strike with magic like Meteor.

Strategy:

• Party Setup: A Spiritmaster is crucial here. Equip abilities and equipment that boost Speed, like the Hermes Shoes (you can get two from De Rosa in this chapter). The goal is to have your Spiritmaster be faster than the enemies, but slower than your other damage dealers.
• Defensive Measures: Rampart is good for blocking Barbarossa and Yulyana's physical hits, but it can break quickly due to the high frequency of attacks. Utsusemi can also help, but might fall apart fast. Consider using Stillness from your Spiritmaster to create a temporary ceasefire.
• Speed Control: The ideal speed order is: your damage dealers > your Spiritmaster > the enemies. This allows your party to attack first, then use Stillness to negate the enemies' turn. Be aware that small Speed differences can lead to random turn orders.
• Debuffing: While Stillness is active, use the opportunity to lower enemy stats, especially Yulyana's invocation bonuses and the whole trio's Speed.
• Stealing: You can steal a Death Axe from Barbarossa, a Gold Hairpin from Yulyana, and a Lamia's Tiara from Mephilia.
• Target Prioritization: Once you can safely attack, focus on Yulyana first, as he has less HP than in his solo fight. After he's down, eliminate Mephilia. Use Rampart to block Barbarossa's attacks while you deal with the other two.
