Upgrade to Tier 3 Classes Prior Boss Battle

Once you acquire ??? seeds, return to the Sanctuary of Mana and plant them in the magic pot near the gold mana statue. Check if the class change items are the ones you desire. If they are, visit the special mana statue and change to Tier 3 Classes. If not, we suggest holding it for now until you get the class change items you desire since it takes time to acquire class reset items.

Enchant Weapon with Water Element

You can enchant your melee damage dealer with water element. Elemental weapon enchants can be acquired from Item Seeds or through the Merchant Town Beiser’s Night Market.

Bring at minimum of 20 weapon enchant items in this battle.

Target the Furnaces

Use Water Elemental and Summon Magic

If you ran out of CS gauges, make use of elemental or summon magic to damage Xan Bie. If you have Angela in your party, kite the boss from a distance using Water magic. If you ran out of MP, consume a Faerie Walnut or switch to another party member.

Keep on Healing and Removing Debuffs

While trying to avoid the attacks, make sure to secure your party member’s health. Also. keep them away from debuffs, status ailments, and status effects. If you don’t have Charlotte in your team, make sure you have Medicine Herbs, Stardust Herbs, or Marmpoto Oils in your stock.
