Nidrs Sidequest

Master the Nidr's Sidequest in I Am Setsuna! Learn Freyja's weaknesses, essential Spritnite strategies, and how to secure the Master's Sword.

Alright, let's tackle Nidr's Sidequest! This one's a bit of a challenge because it's a one-on-one fight between Nidr and a tough boss named Freyja. She can hit pretty hard and, more annoyingly, she's got a couple of moves that inflict status ailments. Specifically, you'll want to watch out for Paralysis and Stone. If you've got the Shield Spritnites for those, grab 'em, especially the Stone one, as Paralysis still lets you use Techs, but Stone really messes with your ability to fight.

Before we dive in, make sure you have Provoke and Counter equipped. Provoke is great for boosting Nidr's defense using Momentum, and Counter? Well, Counter can honestly make this entire fight a breeze if you play it right.

Freyja's Moveset:

• Two-Sword Style: Her basic attack, hits twice. Nothing too fancy.
• Blunt Blow: This one has a chance to inflict Paralysis, meaning you won't be able to use Techs. Annoying, but manageable.
• Stone Slash: This is the one you really need to watch out for, as it can Stone Nidr.
• Wind Slash: Just a regular attack, nothing special to worry about.
• Double Back: This move counters any magical attacks, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of blasting her with magic.
• Rebellion: Once her health gets low, she'll start using this. It's probably her strongest attack, so be ready.

The key to surviving this fight is keeping Nidr's health in a good spot, ideally above 400-500 HP. This gives you a bit of breathing room in case she manages to get two attacks in before your turn. Remember, all of Freyja's attacks are physical, which is super important for our strategy.

Strategy Time!

If you've got skills like Blunt Blow or Stone Slash equipped, using them with Momentum can actually heal Nidr. If not, you'll need to rely on items like Mid or Hi Potions to keep his health up. But honestly, the absolute easiest way to win this? Equip Counter. Seriously, it's a game-changer. Since all of Freyja's attacks are physical, they'll all miss when Counter is active. Plus, Counter stays active until you choose a different action. So, you can literally just set it and forget it, letting Nidr counterattack his way to victory while you maybe go grab a snack.

Once you finally defeat Freyja, you'll be rewarded with the Master's Sword for Nidr and the Rebellion Spritnite. That's it – this sidequest is officially done!
