Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat one of the final regular bosses in the game, the Dark-Magic wielding Alternis Dim.
We show you the safest strategy to eat away at his massive 100,000 HP and ensure hat your team gets through to unlock the highly impressive Dark Knight Asterisk!
-----------------------------------------------------
The Dark Knight uses Black Bane to do dark damage to the party or Dark Bane to do dark damage to a single target--both attacks will consume some of Alternis's HP, but nothing to concern yourself with. Initially, fending off Alternis isn't a difficult affair, as you have a variety of options before you.
You can use the Spiritmaster's Adaptation to have a party member absorb his dark attacks or nullify them with the Dark Shield from Everlast Tower (perfect for your healer). His all-physical attacks can also be countered with a Swordmaster with Nothing Ventured or Know Thine Enemy (though the latter won't work against Black Bane).
Similarly, Ninjas can evade the Dark Knight's attacks with Utsusemi and then mount a counter attack with Transience and the Red Mage's Turn Tables. If you're taking heavy damage, use the Templar's Rampart to protect each character from one hit.
Once Alternis drops below half HP, he will start using Minus Strike, which is a guaranteed K.O. so a Salve-maker ready to compound a Phoenix Down and Potion wouldn't go amiss. You can also use the Ninja's Kairai to make Alternis purposely attack somebody protected by Utsusemi or Rampart.
