How to Beat The Hunger

Before the Fight

  • Bring Ice for the opener: Lasswell plus Tronn or Terra.
  • Have Light ready for later from Fina, Leah or the Warrior of Light.
  • Keep MP and items in reserve for the second form.

The Hunger Strategy

Freeze the First Form

The first form only cares about Ice, so lean on Lasswell, Tronn or Terra. Hold your big skills, the next HP bar is much longer.

Time the Kill for Your Free Turns

Try to stagger it before the first form dies. The second form and its soldiers then arrive during your bonus turns, and you can hit them before they move.

Switch to Light and Drop the Soldiers

The second form turns weak to Light and calls two Enhanced Wraith Soldiers. Kill them with Light first, then put all your damage and stagger on the boss.
