Strategy
When the battle begins players should pull the boss to the outdoor area outside of the cave. By doing this the party will have more room to maneuver. Throughout the boss fight, melee players should avoid Dragon's Breath and Ram's Breath when possible. They should also avoid staying behind the boss and triggering Scorpion's Sting. The Breath attacks can also be interrupted by stuns and silences. Ranged damage dealers and healers should spread out across the battle field. When the boss uses Cacophony on a player, he or she should move away from other players.
- White Mage's Esuna is useful for clearing debuffs such as paralysis.
When Chimera begins to use Ram's Breath, all melee players should move out of the melee range of the boss. When Chimera begins to use Dragon's Breath all ranged players should move to the melee range of the boss.
Players should always be aware and move out of the Ram's Keeper, a large circular ground indicator, as soon as possible.
