Boss Fights:
- Longsword Praetor (HP: 8614) - Person
Weakness: None
Resistance: None
Strategy: The Praetor is accompanied by two Power Links. Prioritize eliminating the Power Links by exploiting their category and elemental weaknesses to quickly reduce their strength and then focus on the Praetor. - Guardian (HP: 14836) - Fiend, Armored
Weakness: None
Resistance: Neutral
Strategy: This fight introduces Mystic Artes (hold L2 during a combo, requires 3 BG, consumes 1 soul). The Guardian is resistant to non-elemental attacks and has no elemental weakness. Focus on category weaknesses, especially Armored, using Velvet's Mega Sonic Thrust to stun. Avoid its Frenzy and Wall Crush attacks, which can stun. Attack from the side or back. Master soul management and Mystic Arte usage as the boss is slow and debuffs allies.
