How to Beat Byblos

Before the Fight

  • Have Reflect ready, or Carbuncle to cast it for you.
  • Bring Rain and Archwitch Fina for Fire and Dark.
  • Equip a Vision with a Fire or Dark Resonance.

Byblos Strategy

Turn Its Spells Around

Reflect sends its spells, status ones included, straight back at it. Get it up early.

Fire and Dark From Every Angle

Rain and Archwitch Fina both fit this fight well. A Fire or Dark Resonance adds a big hit on each break.

Finish the Break Fast

Once the gauge gets low, it turns enraged and hits harder. Push for the stagger right away to skip that stretch and jump into your bonus turns.
