How to beat Archdemon in Trials of Mana

This boss will go all out on you with AoE attacks. But when it comes to battling bosses, our strength is their weaknesses and we must utilize their weaknesses. The Archdemon we are dealing with here is immobile, meaning that he doesn’t move around too much. That gives us a precise target to go all out on. One other thing is that since his attacks are all AoE, he takes a few seconds of charge up time before he initiates the attack against you. And this charge up time is where our opportunity lies.

When you’re in a battle against Archdemon, plan your attack very well. This is where you seriously need to put your brain up for the test. The best way we can deal with the Archdemon is by dodging his attacks and going all out on him when we get the chance. As I said, he takes a charge up time before he attacks you. This is your time to think about how to dodge, defend, and counter. Often times, you can attack the Archdemon repeatedly while he’s charging up. If you deal enough damage to it this way, the charging up will cancel. So below, we will list down all of the attacks so that you’ll get familiar with them to identify in the battle. This way, you’ll know what’s coming and what to avoid:

1. Fire Tornado and Explosion: This is the first set of attack the Archdemon will conjure at you in the beginning. This will last until his health reduces by half. This is basically tornados of fire, for which you’ll see a red area that indicates the area of effect. Try to avoid the red area as much as possible.

2. Phase 2: Once you manage to take out half the health of the Archdemon, it will enter into phase 2. This is where it will become more powerful, conjuring a better and stronger set of attacks at you.
