Welcome to our strategy guide video on how to beat the first - fairly annoying - boss in the game - Ominas Crowe (for the Dark 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 him with the minimum of frustration.
-----------------------------------------------------
To begin with, Default to protect yourself against Ominas's magic attacks and use Poisona (White Magic) or Antidotes to clear away poison as soon as possible.
The key to winning this battle is to keep your HP high, so Ominas doesn't kill you with a mix of Poison and Fire--a White Mage with Cure is ideal for this. At times, you should group-cast Cure on your party to combat Ominas's group-casting Fire.
Ominas himself has a lot of HP making this battle pretty long; try not to go into negative BP until the very end of the battle. Your main damage-dealers should be your Monk with the Iron Knuckles equipped, plus Edea with her powerful Ise-no-Kami weapon.
When Ominas reaches low HP, he will Brave and cast Fire twice, which is damaging so it's important your is HP high. After he Braves, he will be immobile for one turn, giving you a chance to lay down some big damage by Braving yourself.
