Many Final Fantasy 16 players were complaining about the late DLC and not-so-intense fight, But now Square Enix listened to them and added Leviathan the lost in the Rising Tide DLC as the end battle.
In this article, we will cover how to defeat Leviathan in the fight and provide tips to help you out in this intense battle.
How to Defeat Leviathan the Lost?
This is a 4 phase intense battle between you and Leviathan, Your goal is simple Dodge the incoming attacks and wait for a fright chance to land your impactful attack in order to maintain composure and offense at a time.
The fight is divided into four phases we will explain what to do in these phases and how to defeat Leviathan without any extra hustle.
Phase 1
This phase is primarily about defense, as you’re aiming to reduce the Leviathan’s stamina rather than its health. When you’ve reduced the stamina bar sufficiently, it will become staggered and a cinematic will appear. During this fight, try to avoid as many Leviathan attacks as possible. Keep in mind that the combat will take place underwater, so your mobility will be limited, but you can still dodge by pressing RI.
Phase 2
This phase allows for more movement than the first, and you will eventually be able to stand on firm ground. However, Leviathan’s strikes will grow much more powerful, and if you’re not careful, you’ll be killed in a single move. Try to punish each opening as severely as possible.
Phase 3
Depending on your DPS, this can be either the easiest or most difficult phase of the boss fight. Leviathan will coil into a water shield and launch projectiles at you. Hurry in and punish as severely as possible.
Tips
- Spam as many Brimstone and Splitfire attacks as possible.
- Use Wildfire for close combat.
- Use your Ifrit Combos when other attacks are on cooldown.
Phase 4
The phase will begin with a vast opening where the Leviathan will be staggered. This is your opportunity to give up everything you have. Attack with everything you’ve got and deal as much damage as possible to the Eikon. When it wakes up again, it will throw everything it has and begin its most aggressive phase.
