Rampage:
This is a new ability that Hreidmar has, which involves it walking forward and trying to belly flop onto Clive. It’s very easy to dodge.

Outbreak:
This attack is similar to the “Aerial Rolling Smash” attack. It will jump up into the air and roll into a ball before smashing down to the ground wherever Clive is standing. Additionally, Hreidmar’s Outbreak attack leaves a pool of toxic goop wherever it lands that must also be avoided until it disappears.

Toxic Spin:
This move is also similar to one that you’ve seen before. Hreidmar will rotate around the battlefield; stand in the middle to avoid the attack, and be ready to move out of the middle once it leaps into the air.

Physical Weapon-based Attacks:
Timekeeper has two physical weapons that it will swing at Clive. The first is a sword and the second is a hammer. It can swing up to three times, and depending on which weapon it uses, it will either swing very fast (with the sword) or very slow (with the hammer).

Magic Staff Slam:
Timekeeper can also summon a staff as a weapon. He will float up into the air, hover briefly over Clive, before slamming down into the ground. Six lines will ripple outward from where Timekeeper lands before ice shards will emerge in a circle around its landing spot. It is possible to Cold Snap the first staff slam into the ground, but be very cautious not to get hit by the ripple that follows.

Hailstorm:
This is another attack with the staff. Four large blue circles will appear around Timekeeper, which will eventually explode. Four smaller blue circles will appear in the gaps between the large circles, so dodge the large circles first, but then get far enough away to escape the smaller circles as well.

Spear Attacks:
In addition to its sword and hammer attacks, Timekeeper will now use a spear as well. One attack involves a spear lunge forward, which is easy to deal with, even when it’s part of a combo, but the second attack is a blast of magic from his spear, very similar to Sleipnir’s “Magic Beam.”

Flash Freeze:
Timekeeper will interrupt your combos from time to time by freezing Clive and his team in place. It will smash the ground with a large hammer, generating a large blue circle, which will eventually explode once Timekeeper hits the ground with its hammer again. Alternatively, Timekeeper might summon “Magic Rings,” which need to be dodged. See the move listed below. This will be followed by a thrown Magic Staff, which will also need to be dodged.

Magic Rings:
Timekeeper will jump to the edge of the battlefield before summoning two magic rings on its left and right sides. These rings will float briefly before flying towards Clive. The indicator that the rings are about to fly at you is that they will quickly flash brightly right before they move, which is your indication to dodge immediately.

Hailstorm (Updated):
This move will change slightly. A large blue circle will form around Clive, with smaller circles forming around it. The trick to this attack is that the smaller, outer circles will explode first. Wait for them to explode, then quickly dodge out of the large blue circle to where the smaller circles are located.

Hammer Slam:
Timekeeper will jump to the edge of the battlefield, summon his hammer, and jump high into the air before slamming his hammer down where Clive is standing. Clive will be stunned if you don’t dodge right when the hammer makes contact with the ground. Timekeeper will hit the ground a second time, and the goal here is to dodge right when the hammer hits each time to get out of the way of a giant “Glacial Strike” that follows. This Glacial Strike takes up a considerable portion of the map.

Frozen in Time:
This attack will freeze Clive in place temporarily.

Frozen Arsenal:
Timekeeper will attack Clive with each of its weapons, one by one, starting with the magic staff. Get ready to dodge as soon as “Frozen in Time” wears off, and keep dodging away, because an extensive area around where the staff lands will explode. As this is happening, Timekeeper will summon two Magic Rings, and just like before, be ready to dodge when they briefly flash. Next, it will summon a line of spears that will eventually explode with individual “magic beams.” Get to the edge of the stage to dodge this attack. Finally comes the hammer. He will slam the ground twice, stunning Clive both times unless you dodge at the right time, and creating large blue circles that cover most of the battlefield. Get to an area that won’t get hit while this is happening.

Immortal Order:
Compared to the last attack, this one is simple. Timekeeper will summon a multitude of swords, all aiming at Clive. Just press over and over again until Clive unfreezes, and he will dodge away just in time.

Flying Lance Attacks:
Before Timekeeper begins flying, it will summon blue areas around the map, which, if Clive enters them, will slow him down, making it more difficult to dodge the lance attacks. Timekeeper will fly up into the air and sweep downwards, attacking Clive with his spear, before landing and attacking with one more “Magic Beam.”

Flash Freeze (Updated):
During this new version of Flash Freeze, seven large swords will be summoned above Clive. One will be right over the spot where Clive was frozen, and the other six will surround Clive. Each sword will appear, one after the other, and you should dodge under one of the swords that appear last in the sequence, as the first ones that are summoned are the first ones that will drop, meaning you’re likely to take damage if you move into one of those spots.

Final Oath:
A very annoying attack (see “Author’s Note” below). First, Timekeeper will summon a wall of Magic Rings, which launch towards Clive; dodge them once they get close. Second is a flying lance attack. Third is a magic staff slammed into the ground. Fourth is a spinning hammer attack. The last attack is a sword underhanded sword swing, but this goes right into his “Oathkeeper” attack.

Oathkeeper:
The last attack involves Timekeeper slamming a large sword into the ground. It hovers in the air for a lengthy amount of time, making it difficult to dodge.

Bite:
Leviathan will recoil backwards slightly before lunging forward to bite Ifrit.

Tail Swipe:
Leviathan’s tail will glow blue as it spins forward and slams its tail down on Ifrit.

Magic Beam:
After breathing in, Leviathan will blast out a magic beam on Ifrit’s left and will slowly pass by to the right. Dodge through this attack as it passes by.

Riptide:
Three rings of magic will form around Ifrit. As they begin to enclose around him, dodge out of the circle to escape undamaged. After its Riptide attack, Leviathan will disappear into the water before using its “Spinning Dive” attack.

Spinning Dive:
The water will begin glowing just before Leviathan emerges. This attack requires a very quick dodge and may take some practice to master the timing.

Tidal Roar:
Leviathan will blast a large magic beam, taking up much of the screen. Float or dodge over to the left or right side of the screen.

Water Orbs:
Leviathan will summon “Water Orbs,” which will briefly flash before flying towards Ifrit. Start on one side of the screen, either left or right, and keep dodging to the opposite side until they pass.

Grand Fall:
Leviathan will summon a wall of “Water Orbs” which will fly at Ifrit, and then Leviathan will immediately lunge towards Ifrit at the end of the attack. Be ready to dodge one last time as Leviathan flashes.

Lunge:
The animation for this attack is similar to the end of “Grand Fall” or “Spinning Dive.” Leviathan will move to the far side of the battlefield and begin glowing as it lunges straight towards Ifrit. This attack is one of the easier ones to time for a dodge.

Bite:
This attack has not changed.

Magic Beam:
During this phase of the fight, Leviathan will not move the beam from one side to the other. Instead, it will suck in some water and then aim the beam directly at Ifrit. This “breathing in” animation is your trigger to be ready to dodge a Magic Beam attack.

Dive:
This attack is similar to “Bite,” except Leviathan will fly up into the air and will dive through Ifrit and into the water below. The next attack after this one is likely to be a “Breach,” so be ready!

Breach:
This attack takes some getting used to because you have to be ready to move as soon as you see the words “Breach” appear on the screen. Use your Wildfire ability (using the button) to immediately escape the large area on the map where the ‘breach’ is about to hit before Leviathan breaks through the surface of the water.

Riptide:
This attack is similar to Phase 1. Wait until the rings of magic surrounding Ifrit begin to close in on your position, and then use to dodge outside all of the rings. You cannot jump over these rings and will have to dodge through them.

Water Blasts:
Two lines of glowing magic will appear and rush towards Ifrit, eventually exploding in a blast of water upwards. Dodge out of the blast path before they explode.

Water Orbs:
This attack is similar to the previous phase.

Salt Spray:
Leviathan will create a large wall of Water Orbs that will fly towards Ifrit. Use Wildfire to escape to the right, and all of the Water Orbs will miss him.

Waterjet:
Leviathan will fly through the air, spraying water downward as it floats from side to side towards Ifrit. Be ready to dodge as soon as the jet goes through Ifrit’s path; sometimes it misses completely!

Water Blasts:
Similar to the last phase, Leviathan will summon Water Blast spots all over the place while there’s distance between Ifrit and Leviathan’s shield. Trying to get to Leviathan means you’ll have to get past the Water Blasts. The best strategy is usually to wait until you see where they are about to spawn before you use Wildfire so you don’t accidentally run into one. It’s hard to be patient during a phase with a countdown timer, but it’s better to avoid getting hit. Leviathan will also summon Water Blasts near the shield, which can be dodged easily by backing up a little bit.

Water Orbs:
Leviathan will summon walls of Water Orbs while you’re trying to approach, and four Water Orbs around Ifrit when he’s close to the shield, all of which will need to be dodged. They briefly flash before they begin moving, so use the flash as a trigger for when to dodge.

Maelstrom (New):
Leviathan will use this attack at the start of the phase, and many players run into difficulty understanding how to deal with this attack. The way it works is that the center of the Maelstrom will deal damage, and eventually, the Maelstrom will suck you into the center. What you need to watch for is a white flash that occurs just before the Maelstrom tries to suck you in. When you see the flash, jump out of the water, and immediately press to use Wildfire to escape the Maelstrom’s range. Check out the video below for a demonstration on how to do this.

Tail Swipe:
This attack is just like the one it had in Phase 1, except the glowing tail isn’t what to watch for. Instead, Leviathan will slap the water twice with its tail before somersaulting and attempting to thrash at Ifrit with its tail. It will always follow this attack up with a Magic Beam.

Magic Beam (Updated):
This attack has also reverted to its Phase 1 form, where Leviathan will blast from right to left across the screen. You can dodge through the beam of magic, but an even better strategy is to rotate in behind Leviathan’s head when you know this attack is coming (after a “Tail Swipe”) and use this time to get some attacks of your own in.

Riptide (Updated):
This attack looks completely different now. Instead of a group of rings around 1 point, there are now multiple rings around multiple points, but instead of being four rings high and impossible to jump over, they are now only one ring high, which means you can jump over them to escape them instead of dodging. The best strategy for dealing with this attack is to wait until the first ring, closest to Ifrit, begins to encircle him, and then quickly jump into the air and Wildfire into one of the open areas to the left or right (typically the right side works best). Check out the video below for a demonstration on how to do this without taking damage.

Waterspout:
Everyone gets hit by this attack the first time they see it. Use Wildfire as many times as you can until you reach either the left or right edge of the stage. Once you get there, you can launch a few Charged Fireballs towards Leviathan while waiting for its next attack, which is…

Angry Seas:
Leviathan’s most difficult attack is a combination of attacks that you’ve already seen before. The sequence starts with three “Riptide” attacks, which all have to be dodged, followed by a “Maelstrom,” then a wall of Water Orbs, then a Waterjet attack, a Salt Spray attack, and finally, one more “Tidal Roar” to get out of the way of.
