How to Beat Chaotic Darkness (First Form)

Before the Fight

  • Set equipment, Visions and abilities for every member, reserves too, before you start.
  • Bring Wind for the Left Hand, Earth for the Right Hand and Light for the body.
  • Do not empty your MP here, the final form comes next.

Chaotic Darkness (First Form) Strategy

Left Hand Goes Down First

If you kill the Right Hand first, finishing the Left Hand brings the Right one back. Take the Left out first with Wind, Aeroga Blade for example.

Then Crush the Right Hand

Switch to Earth, like Mecha Fat Chocobo, to finish the Right Hand. Its special skill needs both hands, so it stops once one is gone.

Buff Up and Bring the Light

With the hands down, buff the party with Nichol's Formation skills, then hit the body with Light.

Get Your Bench Ready

In the next form, Last Resonance sends its user out and pulls in a reserve. Gear cannot be changed between forms, so the bench needs to be ready now.
