Defeat the Forgotten Mantis in Chained Together. Learn boss weaknesses, item drops like Grimmoire Shard, and prepare for Narslene Sewers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Engage the Forgotten Mantis boss.
  2. 2
    During the fight, use Sienna to steal a [_STURDY AKETON_] from the boss, which is an upgrade for characters like Lenne.
  3. 3
    Lenne is your powerhouse; use her Water Thrust attack, as the boss is weak to water. With break defense, this attack can deal around 120 damage per hit.
  4. 4
    Have Victor buff attack and TP.
  5. 5
    Have Sienna and Robb inflict bleed and poison on the boss.
  6. 6
    Have Glenn break the boss's defense when needed.
  7. 7
    Focus on lowering the boss's Overdrive Gauge.
  8. 8
    Be prepared to use items for healing, as healing and managing the Overdrive Gauge can be tricky. The guide used FIVE SNACKS.
  9. 9
    Watch out for the boss's "Forbidden Fire" move, which deals around 40 damage to all party members. Keep everyone's HP above 50 at all times.
  10. 10
    Switch out teammates if they are staggered.
  11. 11
    Use at least one single-target Ultimate Move during the fight.
  12. 12
    After defeating the boss, watch the subsequent scenes.
  13. 13
    Collect the [_GRIMOIRE SHARD_] reward.
  14. 14
    Proceed to the Narslene Sewers / Preparations area.

Tips
  • Stealing the [_STURDY AKETON_] is highly recommended as it's an upgrade for Lenne.
  • Keep Lenne unlinked to maximize her effectiveness with Water Thrust.
  • It is acceptable to use items or defend when necessary. Defending with Glenn to allow Lenne to use Water Thrust is a valid strategy.
  • The "GOLDEN NUMBER" for HP is 50, meaning you should aim to keep all party members above 50 HP to survive "Forbidden Fire".
  • Do not forget to use an Ultimate Move during the Forgotten Mantis fight.
