Bestiary: #125

With 3,200 HP, Marilith has no weaknesses in this fight. The strategy revolves around mitigating her Fire damage and protecting the party from instant death.

Battle Strategy

Equip everyone with a Ribbon if possible to nullify the Death spell. Cast NulBlaze to halve the damage from Firaga. With defenses in place, have your Black Wizard cast Haste on your physical fighters, who should then use Saber/Temper to maximize damage. Use your strongest non-elemental spells like Flare and Holy if you have them.

Ribbons are your best friend. The biggest threat here is a lucky Death spell. Nullifying it with Ribbons makes the fight much more manageable. After that, it’s a straightforward damage race against her high HP.

After the Battle

The second fiend falls, opening the way to the third level of the past Chaos Shrine. Prepare to face an empowered Kraken next.
