Phases:

  1. Defeat the two Foot Soldiers.
  2. Defeat Botta.

Strategy:

  • Your first priority should be to take down the two Foot Soldiers quickly. They have significantly less HP than Botta, making them easier to eliminate early on.
  • Once the Foot Soldiers are dealt with, turn your attention to Botta. He's a more challenging opponent and, like Genis, can cast spells.
  • Keep an eye on your HP. While Kratos might offer healing support, don't rely on him if you need a quick recovery. It's better to use a Gels yourself for immediate healing.
  • Watch Botta's movements. If you're in the middle of a combo and he suddenly starts defending, it's a cue to stop your attack and switch to guarding immediately. This is to prepare for his counter-attack.
  • Be patient and persistent. After a while, Botta will eventually fall.
