How to Beat Ain Gide (Gregminster)

Boss Strategy


Avoid Using Fire and Lightning

Use Final Judgement
Unlike the original game, Ain Gide only has two resistances in Fire and Lightning. Make sure to avoid using these types of attacks so that you can maximize your damage against this boss.

Since Ain Gide doesn't have any exploitable weakness, you'll want to use the Hero's Final Judgement to burst down this boss. Also, make sure that your magic users have either the Cyclone or Mother Earth Runes equipped to use their highest damage spells as well.

Best Runes

Bring a Strong Healer

Bring a Strong Healer
Just like many other bosses, Ain Gide likes using a lot of area-of-effect attacks against your entire party. Have a character equip the Flowing Rune and use AoE healing spells to keep your party's health bars topped up.

How to Get Flowing Rune and Effects

Upgrade Your Armour

Late-Game Gregminster Armour Shop
Before going to fight this boss, you'll want to visit Gregminster's shops first to purchase some new gear. Make sure that your party has the best armour possible equipped to help them survive Ain Gide's attacks.

Best Characters and Runes to Beat Ain Gide

Best Party for Ain Gide

Character Best Rune and Role
Flik Icon Flik Best Rune: Cyclone Rune
• Though Ain Gide is resistant to Wind Magic, the "Shining Wind" spell can still damage him and heal your allies at the same time.
• Flik should act more as a secondary healer in this fight.
Viktor Icon Viktor Best Rune: Clone Rune
• Once Viktor uses his Clone Rune, have him defend or have Flik use "Healing Wind" to remove his Unbalanced status ailment so he can use his Clone Rune again without having to wait one turn.
Valeria Icon Valeria Best Rune: Falcon Rune
• Use her Falcon Rune for consistent damage.
Hero Icon Hero Best Rune: Soul Eater
• His "Judgement" spell is your best asset in this battle. Keep him alive for as long as possible.
Kirkis Icon Kirkis Best Rune: Flowing Rune
• Your healer for the party. Use "Rain of Kindness" right after Ain Gide does any of his AOE attacks to keep your characters alive.
Cleo Icon Cleo Best Rune: Any
• Use any other offensive rune that doesn't deal Fire or Lightning damage.
