** Taken from our complete Bravely Default Complete Strategy Guide **

Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the first two bosses in the game - Barras (for the Monk Asterisk) and Holly (for the White Mage Asterisk).
We'll talk you through our strategies, some of the things you should learn to do from this battle onwards and how to beat them with the minimum of fuss.
-----------------------------------------------------
Thanks to the power of the asterisks, you cannot escape this battle, so we hope you're prepared! At the beginning, Default. Occasionally Barras will Brave, dishing out extra damage, but rendering him immobile for a turn; with luck, he'll do this on a turn you've Defaulted. The turn after Barras Braves, Examine both enemies.
Either way, continue Defaulting until you've max BP. From here, you can brave all the way and lay the smack-down on either Holly or Barras. Then Default again and repeat the cycle until one of them goes down.
We recommend you take down Holly first, as she can cast Protect to raise her or Barras's defence or Cure to heal HP. She also has less HP than Barras. Once Barras reaches critical HP, he will use Invigorate, which damages everybody in the field (including himself).
If you've damaged Barras and Holly equally, he will likely kill Holly with Invigorate before long. At this point, spam Potions or Treat (Level 2 Freelancer ability) like no tomorrow to stay in the game or (if Holly is gone) Brave to end him quick.
