A common trope in video games is scripted boss fights. This is where the player is pit against a foe with incredible stats and abilities in a hopeless battle.Bravely Default 2has its share of these, and one of them happens to be Galahad.

The first fight with Galahad inBravely Default 2is programmed in a way that the player can’t win. Eventually, they will battle him for real at Treetop Tower at the end of chapter 2. Players can also fight him again inPortal 3 at northeast Savalonfor the Shieldmaster Asterisk later in the game.

Fighting Galahad

If players wish to immobilize Galahad, they canparalyze him with Ranger’s Shadowbindor have Lily paralyze him instead. This is recommended because it will stop him from trying to defend the Picto Demons.

Players would be wise to deal with Picto-Mona first (use Swords) because of its White Wind move, which heals all allies. When Mona is defeated, target Beleth’s Thunder weakness and then Amrita (use Physical moves). Another way to defeat the Picto Demons is by havinga Black Mage maxed out (level 12)for the fight. Their 2nd Specialty lets their attacks ignore elemental immunity.

Because of Galahad’s high defense, players will want to have a Healer to heal on every turn. Chip away at his HP by targeting his weaknesses. Having a Monk with the Bare-Knuckle Brawler ability will also help in this fight.
