You're more amazing than Deific Artorius
#final superboss of tales of berseria#when you beat the postgame dungeon it powers up the final boss and doubles his level and gives him stats to match#and also makes him resistant to all elements and thus immune to every status ailment and stat-lowering effect#my first attempt was a complete and thorough failure#but on my second i unequipped all status ailment artes from me and my party#and also told eleanor to stop killing herself#i was really scared of his 3000 focus and immunity to ailments making it really hard to get souls#but it turns out once you ignore ailments and focus entirely on stun 3000 focus isn't too hard to break through#he also blocks SO MUCH#he recovers from stagger really fast so he blocks ALL THE TIME so comboing him is super frustrating#you can charge up a guard break but even after breaking his guard he'll just immediately block the next attack#solution: use big flashy multi-hit attacks that keep going for like 3 full seconds#the break charge lasts for the entire attack so even when he recovers from stagger and blocks MID ATTACK you just break his guard again lol#and all the while your party members are taking advantage and piling on damage#also rokurou's really good against him#his break soul gives him a free guard break charge for his next attack which really keeps up the pressure#and his weakness of his break soul being a counterattack isn't a weakness because artorius has a bunch of big telegraphed attacks#also he's immune to stagger while attacking. so add that to his growing list of bullshit#but rokurou don't care! he just counters and teleports behind him and hits him with a big long unblockable attack!#and ALSO artorius has 1 weakness: he's human. and rokurou's 3rd break soul is effective against humans#and THAT triggers a weak-point combo which ignores all his resistances!#so combo that break soul into a mystic arte chain and rip him to shreds!#eizen has a mystic arte that hits human so he can do basically the same thing#i (and eleanor) still died quite a few times but managed to cast enough revives to keep it going#somewhere around 25-ish minutes later he was DEAD! HAHA!#finally calling this playthrough complete. got all the important items and mastered all the equipment skills. and killed god. of course#ka asks
