Solo Duty Walkthrough
Upon speaking with Cid for the first time, you will enter a solo duty.
- You will fight alongside Yda, Yugiri, and Gosetsu in the Cartenau Flats against Grynewaht and his imperial soldiers.
- The fight will start with you and your allies beating down a lone Grynewaht. Continue to attack him until he summons imperial soldiers to his side.
- Grynewaht uses two special attacks throughout the fight:
- Augmented Uprising is a fan-shaped frontal AoE.
- Augmented Suffering is a circular AoE covering the area immediately around him. Melee fighters should watch out for this.
- Grynewaht's attacks will damage and kill his own soldiers, so use your positioning to your advantage.
- When Grynewaht's health drops to about 50%, a cutscene will play. Afterwards, you will be equipped with a set of magitek armor known as the Red Baron. This armor has four attacks you can use:
- Magitek Cannon is a circular AoE that deals moderate damage. Use this as your primary attack.
- Photon Stream is a straight-line AoE that deals moderate damage. The area covered by this attack is smaller than that of Magitek Cannon, so it is not preferred.
- Diffractive Magitek Cannon is an enhanced version of Magitek Cannon that will kill regular imperial soldiers with one hit. Save this for especially large groups surrounding your allies. Has a 10 second cooldown.
- High-powered Magitek Cannon is an enhanced version of Photon Steam that will kill all enemies with one hit. This is best saved for the giant-sized Imperial Colossus enemies that appear. Has a 10 second cooldown.
- After a number of imperial soldiers are defeated, they will flee and you will dismount the armor. Fight Grynewaht a final time, shaving off his health while avoiding his usual attacks. He will also use one new attack called Aerial Bombing, in which he shoots four projectiles into the air. The first three projectiles are placed randomly on the field, but the fourth will always center on you. Dodge accordingly.
