Learn the best strategies to defeat the Nightmare Reality boss in Lost Sphear's Pale Tower. Master Kanata's Holy Force and Dianto's Asgard to overcome Bad Breath and Acute Odor.

Alright, you've made it to the Pale Tower, and it's time for a boss fight! You'll be using Kanata, Dianto, and Locke here, so make sure you've equipped them well before you dive in. The main headache in this fight is the Nightmare Reality's 'Bad Breath' move. If you've played Final Fantasy games, you know the drill – this can inflict all sorts of nasty status effects. The absolute worst is Fossilization, which permanently incapacitates a character. If all your party members get fossilized or KO'd, it's game over, so keep an eye on that!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Your first priority is to try and shut down 'Bad Breath' right away. Have Kanata use 'Holy Force' – it might not always work, but it's your best shot.
  2. 2
    The boss also has 'Acute Odor,' which lowers everyone's stats across the board. Other than these, it's basically a tougher version of the Primeval Monster you fought earlier.
  3. 3
    Be aware that Nightmare Reality will counter all your attacks, but thankfully, the counter only hits enemies right next to the boss. Its 'Riot' and 'Rampage' skills hit everyone for decent damage, and 'Devour' can drain your MP while 'Inhale' takes away HP.
  4. 4
    Keep using 'Holy Force' with Kanata to counter 'Bad Breath.' If you need to reset the cooldown for it, Dianto's 'Asgard' skill is your go-to.
  5. 5
    When Kanata isn't busy with 'Holy Force,' have Dianto use 'Calamity' to debuff the boss's strength and magic. You might also have skills like 'Physical Mar' or 'Magical Mar' available.
  6. 6
    While Kanata can heal with 'Aura,' don't forget Locke's 'Potentiate' skill. This lets you use an item on the whole party. Combine it with an Ether to restore 50 MP to everyone – super useful!
Tips
  • Focus on shutting down 'Bad Breath' as soon as possible.
  • Use 'Calamity' to debuff the boss's stats.
  • Locke's 'Potentiate' combined with an Ether is a great way to restore party-wide MP.

After you finally defeat Nightmare Reality, watch the cutscene. Then, approach Lumina to continue the story. She'll rejoin your party after some dialogue, and a portal will appear. Take it to exit the Pale Tower. Another scene will play, and Obaro will rejoin you. Your next goal is to figure out how to escape this world.
