Attacks

  • “Huge Tidal Wave”: Water-elemental physical attack against the whole party, 1.25x base damage, 95% accuracy, costs 20 MP.
  • “Viper Breath”: Ice/water-elemental magic attack against one target, 1.25x base damage, costs 20 MP.
  • “Dragon Dance”: Physical attack against one target, 1.25x base damage.
  • “Aqualung”: Water-elemental magic attack against the whole party, 3.25x base damage, costs 34 MP.

Strategy

“Aqualung” and “Huge Tidal Wave” both slam the entire party with water damage, and with 14,000 HP the Serpent will not go down quickly. A Accessory IconWater Ring absorbs water-elemental attacks, turning the Serpent’s two biggest threats into healing. Use the Save Point in the Gelnika often, as the enemies aboard are among the deadliest in the game.
