BOSS: Captain Dolce, First Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant (6)

Learn the best strategy to defeat Captain Dolce, First Lieutenant, and Second Lieutenant in Eternal Strands. This guide covers their HP, weaknesses, and recommended party members for an easier fight.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Captain Dolce — HP: 290,530, Recommended Level: 31
• First Lieutenant — HP: 31,580
• Second Lieutenant — HP: 31,580
• All enemies have similar attacks that deal around 2000 damage.
• Lieutenants can resurrect each other.

Phases:

1. Defeat the First and Second Lieutenants.
2. Defeat Captain Dolce.

Strategy:

• Since this is a recurring fight, you should already be familiar with their attack patterns, though they hit harder now.
• The most crucial step is to prioritize taking out the two Lieutenants first. They are individually weaker than Captain Dolce but can still deal significant damage and, more importantly, can revive each other.
• Assign your two strongest party members to focus fire on one Lieutenant each. This prevents them from resurrecting each other and speeds up the process.
• Once both Lieutenants are down, shift all your attention to Captain Dolce.
• A recommended party setup includes Viola for healing, and Jazz and Allegretto for damage. Jazz's Heat Blade and Allegretto's Sky Divider are particularly effective against Dolce.
• Viola should be ready to spam Heal Arrow to keep your party's HP topped off, especially during the final push against Captain Dolce.
• Utilize Harmony Chains! This mechanic can significantly speed up the battle, making it much easier than previous encounters with this boss.

• Werewolf Choker
• Peace Earring
