Strategy Guide

Oh no, the Holy Egg is coming for you! The Holy Egg is one of the most challenging bosses in the game. With 120,000 HP, three powerful magical attacks, and two absolute shields, it will require a lot of patience and a perfect strategy to beat him.

Let's take a look at our enemy. First of all, the Holy Egg is immune to all White damage; therefore, don't use Jelly Shot or Plasma Solstice on it. Secondly, the Holy Egg has two kinds of shields: a magic shield that allows it to be immune to all Red, Blue, and Yellow attacks while taking 150% damage from physical attacks, and a physical shield that blocks all Black attacks while taking 150% damage from magical attacks. Luckily, only one shield can be active at any given time.

The trick is to know which shield is active so you don't make a mistake. The factor that decides the active shield is actually the time when you fight the Holy Egg. For the first 30 minutes of any hour, the physical shield is active. For the rest of the hour, the magic shield is active. You can also test this by throwing a field skill, such as Meteor Strike or Thunder Rod, on the Holy Egg. If it doesn't deal any damage, then the magic shield is active and the Holy Egg can only be damaged by physical attacks. The shield can change during battle. For example, at 7:29 PM the Egg will be immune to magic but at 7:31 PM it will be immune to physical attacks. The strategy to be used is entirely different depending on which shield is active.

1) If the Holy Egg is immune to Magic

When the magic shield is active, the Holy Egg will take 150% damage from all physical attacks. However, its attacks are still extremely dangerous. Your best bet would be HP leeching. Since the Holy Egg has relatively low defense, Death, Nera, Gelyan, and the Fool will deal very high damage to it.

Have Death use Soul Bond on Gely and Nera. With the Fool's Essence of Slyness, your HP leeching will be enough to out-heal the damage you receive! Have other characters stand by to supply energy since Soul Bond will severely lower the magic attribute of your characters.
Alternatively, you may consider using Soul Bond on Sisily since her Warp Tornado can deal a good amount of physical damage. However, be careful that you still have enough energy to supply the attacks.

It may seem like a good idea to use Soul Ritual in this battle. However, unless you are about to finish it off, don't use Soul Ritual too early. Even when paralyzed, the Holy Egg still can retaliate and losing Death's Essence of Sorrow is a bad idea. Without Essence of Sorrow, Holy Egg can recover about 11,000 HP every turn.

2) If the Holy Egg is immune to Physical attacks

Even though the Holy Egg takes 150% damage from Red, Yellow, and Blue abilities, a magic contest with it still spells disaster. The Holy Egg has a Red, Blue, and Yellow ability, which means none of your characters has high natural resistance against its magic.

If you have Sisily's Perk Basilisk Blood or Gorgon Blood, by all means use them. The Holy Egg has only 7 agility, therefore, those Perks will lower the amount of actions it can take during a duel to only one. That will effectively half the Holy Egg's power.

Aside from Sisily and Gelyan, all other characters are in risk of being eliminated in a single duel; try to keep distance from it. The Holy Egg can only move 2 tiles per turn, so use the battle field to your advantage. Since your starting positions are at 4 corners of a big battle field, you can avoid fighting it for a very long time if you move properly. Likewise, bombard it with your Meteor Shower, Thunder Rod and Soul Eater.

If Sisily has been following a battle build with decent endurance and agility, you may be able to fight the Holy Egg directly with her. Having the Gorgon Blood or Basilisk Blood Perk is a must. If you have Frost Guard or Flame Guard, equip them too. Have the High Priestess heal Sisily after every turn, and have the Fool ready to swap her out of trouble if things turn sour.

When the physical shield is up, Gelyan is useless in this battle (unless you have Soul Pact). Have him bait and tank for a few hits if possible, but overall just try to stay out of trouble.

Tips for this battle:

• There is a small cheat against the Holy Egg. If you want to fight the Holy Egg in another mode but the time isn't right, simply adjust your computer clock.
• Take advantage of the Holy Egg's low movement points and the vast open map. Have a character run away if necessary.
• If you have to fight the Holy Egg when its physical shield is on, use field abilities to damage it.
• If you have to fight the Holy Egg when its magic shield is on, take advantage of HP leeching abilities.
• Soul Eater and Soul Ritual will bypass the Holy Egg's shields.
• If Gelyan has the Soul Pact ability, he can also bypass the Holy Egg's shields. Soul Pact can be obtained after a boss fight during the main story line.
• You can go ahead with the next battle in the main story line to gain a level for your character and come back to fight the Holy Egg later if you wish.
