Secret Mission: Use 'Mother's Memento' during the second phase of the fight.

Note: Use a Magic Lens on both phases of this fight.

Strategy:

  • The first phase is straightforward; defeat Estelle with your party.
  • After the scenes, you will battle Estelle alone with Yuri.
  • Use the item 'Mother's Memento' to trigger a scene and complete the Secret Mission.
  • Use free run to lure Estelle into attacking, then counter when she is vulnerable.
  • Be cautious as she can break combos and counterattack, draining your HP quickly. Keep your HP at maximum.
  • When Estelle enters Over Limit, especially on higher difficulties, she cannot be stunned and her spells cast instantly.
  • To survive her Over Limit, have an Over Limit Lv. 3 ready. Get close and use it to knock her down.
  • Immediately use your Mystic Arte to knock her down again as she recovers.
  • The goal during her Over Limit is to waste her time in that state rather than focusing on damage.
  • Survive her Over Limit and pick your shots carefully to defeat her.

Steal: N/A

Experience: 10000
