Part 139

Learn the best strategies to take down the giant Kraken, Karkun, and the tricky Labrodia-Dervinas in Chained Together. Get tips on party composition and boss weaknesses.

Alright, let's get ready to take on some tough bosses! We've got Karkun, the giant Kraken, and then Labrodia-Dervinas. Don't worry, with the right approach and your upgraded Sky Armors, you'll handle these fights.

BOSS 32: KARKUN

First up is Karkun, a massive Kraken! This is a familiar foe, but this time it's much stronger. Luckily, our Sky Armors are ready for this. The key to this fight is managing the three different tentacles: a Magical Tentacle, a Healing Tentacle, and a Physical Tentacle.

Strategy:

• Target Priority: Your absolute first target should be the Healing Tentacle. It can restore about 5,000 HP to the boss, so taking it out quickly is crucial.
• Elemental Weaknesses: All tentacles are strong against Water and weak to Wind. Make sure your party is equipped to deal Wind damage!
• Magical Tentacle: If possible, use Silence on the Magical Tentacle. This will let you focus more effectively on eliminating the Healing Tentacle.
• Status Effects: Try to rotate INACT status effects between the tentacles. This can really help control the fight.
• Tentacle Rage: When a tentacle is defeated, the remaining ones might get buffs. The Physical Tentacle gets an ATK UP for three turns, and the Magical Tentacle gets a 'hit all' buff for three turns. It's still better to have fewer tentacles attacking you, though!
• Tentacle Attacks: The Physical Tentacle can use 'Tentacle Pierce' for around 1,400 damage. The Magical Tentacle has a weak water attack and 'Tentacle Splice' for about 1,200 damage.

Winning Strategy: Keep those status effects rotating, prioritize the Healing Tentacle, and be ready to heal through any damage. Once the healing is gone, focus on the other tentacles one by one. Keep an eye on your overheat gauge and heal as needed. Honestly, it's not the hardest fight, especially at this stage. You'll earn a [_GRIMOIRE SHARD_] for your efforts!

BOSS 33: LABRODIA-DERVINAS

Next, we face Labrodia-Dervinas in our Sky Armors. This fight is definitely a challenge, and the boss makes sure of it by immediately using 'Act Thrice'. Labrodia-Dervinas is classified as a 'Human' and is strong against Water but weak to Fire.

Key Mechanic:

• 'Change of Plans': This is the most important move to watch out for. Labrodia-Dervinas will switch between an offensive mode and a defensive mode. It starts in offensive mode, but it might switch to defensive pretty quickly. Be prepared to adapt your strategy based on its current stance.

General Tips:

• Exploit its Fire weakness whenever possible.
• Pay close attention to when it switches between offensive and defensive modes.

While the source text cuts off here, the general idea is to adapt to its modes and exploit its elemental weakness. Keep your party healed and focus on dealing consistent damage!
