Lambdas Cocoon: Chapter 8 Adulthood Part Vii

Master the challenging boss fights against Richard (Transformed) and Emeraude in Tales of Graces f Remastered. Get expert strategies and tips to overcome their powerful attacks.

Alright, let's dive into the tough parts of Lambdas Cocoon! This section is all about two major boss battles that will really test your skills: Richard (Transformed) and Emeraude. Don't worry, I'll walk you through exactly what you need to know to take them down.

Boss: Richard (Transformed)

Richard is back and way tougher than before. He's got some nasty new moves that hit hard, but the good news is he's weak to B-Artes. This means breaking his Nova barrier and letting Pascal or Malik unleash their B-Artes is your best bet. You'll want to be aggressive, but watch out – Richard loves to guard and break your combos, leaving you open for his quick melee attacks.

Richard's Deadly Attacks to Watch Out For:

• Downward Thrust: When Richard raises both arms with a blue glow and slams them down, anyone caught in the path gets frozen. This usually means a quick death from his follow-up attack.
• Flaming Pinwheel Kick: He uses this in quick succession to rack up damage if you're not guarding.
• Eleth Burst: When his Eleth Burst activates, get away from him to avoid his devastating Divinity Blade Mystic Arte.

Boss: Emeraude

For this fight, I highly recommend benching Asbel. His melee style isn't ideal here. Instead, set up your party with Sophie, Cheria, Hubert, and either Pascal or Malik. You'll want to take direct control of Hubert. Use his Covering Fire and Cross Mirage skills to bombard Emeraude from a distance, interrupting her attacks. Let Sophie and your other caster handle the bulk of the damage.

Emeraude's Dangerous Abilities:

• Close-Range Aura: Getting too close to Emeraude will damage you. She'll also stun and push you back if you try to fight her up close.
• Shockwave Blast: This massive attack deals huge damage and pushes your party back.
• Teleportation: She can easily teleport away from your combos, making sustained offense tricky.
• Ranged Aura Attacks: She throws black aura projectiles at the party.
• Whirlwind Attack: This can wipe out your party if your health is low, especially if she chains it with another attack.
• Mystic Arte (Killing Field): This is an area-wide attack that is incredibly dangerous, so be ready to heal or revive if it hits.

Strategy Tips:

• Against Richard: Focus on breaking his Nova barrier quickly. Keep moving to avoid his devastating attacks, especially the frozen thrust. Use your B-Artes specialists whenever you have an opening.
• Against Emeraude: Keep your distance! Control Hubert and use his ranged Arts. Let Sophie and your healer keep the party alive while you chip away at Emeraude's health from afar. If she hits you with her Mystic Arte, be ready with a Life Bottle.
