Struggling with the Nova Wolf miniboss in Tales of Graces f Remastered? Learn the trick to breaking its barrier and defeating it with this quick guide. Don't waste Gels!
Alright, so you've hit a bit of a roadblock with this Nova Wolf miniboss right at the start of Orlen Woods. Don't worry, it's a common sticking point, but the game actually gives you a pretty neat trick to get past it. You'll notice right away that your regular attacks aren't doing anything – that's intentional! Just hang in there for a bit, and you'll get a cutscene that shows you how to assign a special B-Arte to your combat list. This is the key to breaking the Nova Barrier.
- 1As soon as the fight starts, you won't be able to damage the Nova Wolf. Just keep dodging its attacks for a short while.
- 2A scene will play, teaching you how to assign a B-Arte that can break the Nova Barrier. Make sure to assign it to one of your quick-use slots – any direction will do.
- 3Now, focus on dodging. The Nova Wolf has some nasty attacks, and side-stepping is your best friend here. Mastering this will save you a ton of Gels and frustration.
- 4Once you've got your B-Arte ready, use it to break the Nova Barrier. After that, you'll be able to deal normal damage to the wolf. Keep up the dodging and attacking until it's defeated.
- Seriously, don't waste your Gels trying to brute-force this fight before you learn the barrier trick. Just focus on dodging and waiting for the tutorial prompt.
- The 'Lightning Strike' B-Arte is shown in the screenshots as the one to use, so make sure you have that equipped and ready to go once the barrier appears.
- Once the barrier is down, the fight becomes much more manageable. Keep an eye on the wolf's attack patterns and continue to side-step effectively.
Upon defeating the Nova Wolf, you'll earn the Wielder of Light title. After that, you can head to the nearby save point to trigger the skit Hidden Talents.
