BOSS: UNDINE (2)

Learn how to defeat the Water Summon Spirit Undine in Tales of Symphonia Remastered. Get tips on party setup, strategy, and weaknesses to secure victory.

Stats / Weaknesses:

• Name: Undine
• Location: Thoda Geyser
• HP: 13,000
• TP: 320
• ATK: 580
• DEF: 88
• XP: 2110
• Gald: 765
• Items dropped: Guardian Symbol
• Steal: None
• Elemental Info.: AA: None, Weak: None, Strong: Water, Ice

Phases:

1. Undine's physical attacks deal around 140 damage per hit.
2. Her 'Spread' spell is incredibly powerful at this stage of the game.

Strategy:

• For this fight, I highly recommend a party of Lloyd, Kratos, Raine, and Sheena.
• Tell Kratos to deactivate all his spells except for 'Thunder Blade'.
• Raine's main job throughout the entire battle is to spam 'Nurse'. If you have it, make sure she uses it constantly.
• Sheena and you (as Lloyd) should focus on attacking Undine directly. Sheena's 'Spark Wave' will be dealing close to 600 damage each time she uses it, which is fantastic.
• Your best bet for dealing with Undine's devastating 'Spread' spell is to use Unison Attacks. These can nullify the spell entirely, saving your party from heavy damage.
• Keep up the constant assault on Undine. If you keep attacking her relentlessly, you'll secure a victory.

After the battle, you'll finally gain the power to summon! You'll receive the 'Aquamarine' item. Sheena will also learn the 'S. Seal: Water' and 'Summon: Water' Techs after the cutscene. Once that's done, exit the Geyser completely and head back to camping. Another scene will play out, and then you'll regain control. Hop onto your trusty washtub and leave Thoda Dock. On the World Map, make your way all the way North, enter Hakonesia Peak, and then proceed to Lake Umacy.

NOTE: From this point on, the Hard Path (the one you're on) and the Easy Path merge and become the same. So, if you've been following this guide, just keep reading!

You'll arrive at Lake Umacy, where a scene will play. After a bit, you'll get the 'Unicorn Horn' item. Following that, Raine will learn the 'Resurrection' tech and earn the 'Grand Healer' title. Once you can move again, it's time to go make pacts with the other Summon Spirits. Since the Wind Summon Spirit is closer to your current location, let's go get it next. Head to Balacruf Mausoleum.

This next area is optional, but you'll need to visit it eventually to progress the main story anyway. You'll arrive at Balacruf Mausoleum. Save your game at the memory circle you find. Then, proceed to the area where the seal was previously broken. A scene will trigger, and then you'll face another Boss Battle!
