BOSS: Captain Dolce, First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant (2)

Master the Captain Dolce, First Lieutenant, and Second Lieutenant boss fight in Eternal Strands. Learn their attacks, recommended party, and strategy to win.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Captain Dolce: HP: 181,050, Recommended Level: 25
• First Lieutenant: HP: 27,440
• Second Lieutenant: HP: 32,920
• All enemies have attacks that deal around 1000 damage and can resurrect each other.

Phases:

1. Defeat the two Lieutenants.
2. Defeat Captain Dolce.

Strategy:

• Make sure your Item Set is stocked with Snowpuff Cookies, Floral Extracts, and Angel Trumpets/Goddess Bouquets.
• Your party should definitely include Frederic and Salsa. Polka or Beat can take the final spot, but they're less crucial than the others.
• Priority Target: Take out the two lieutenants first. Even though they're stronger than before, they're still less of a threat than the captain.
• Party Focus: Have your two strongest characters each focus on one of the lieutenants to eliminate them quickly.
• Captain Dolce Phase: Once the lieutenants are down, have everyone focus their attacks on Captain Dolce.
• Healing: If Polka is in your party, keep her in the light and have her use Earth Heal or Orange Glow. If Polka isn't present, Frederic will need to alternate between attacking and healing.
• Light/Dark Mechanics: The battlefield's light and dark areas shift constantly. You'll need to actively seek out random splotches of sunlight for healing and to avoid dark-based attacks. There's no predictable pattern, so be observant.
• This battle is challenging, but remember the advice: if you've managed to beat them once, you can certainly do it again!

After the pirates scatter, continue down the winding path to South Side 1.
