Tales of the Abyss - Sword Dancer #2 (Unknown Mode, Optional Boss)

The second fight against the optional boss, Sword Dancer. This ones in a Search Point before Theor Forest. You can't miss it. You will have had to have beaten the Sword Dancer back in Choral Castle in Part 1 to be able to fight it now though. It's still a tricky boss. Also woo, Luke is back...and Guy. No more frustrating fights with party members I hate xd. Equipped Luke with Berserker Costume Title as it better fits his current personality...or whatever xd. It also is my favorite costume title for him.

Preparation: It should be noted that you stop at Keterburg before you go to this area. There, you can buy a Mythril Sword. It cost, I believe, around 400k. Not quite sure if I'm right, but all I know was it was a hell of a lot cheaper than a Dragon Killer. It's a weaker sword, but still slightly overpowered for this point in the game. You'll probably want to use one of these two overpowered swords at least, if not both. It's a good sword to get if you couldn't afford the Dragon Killer. The boss has 180k HP, the largest so far. However, it also has a crappy 1011 psychical defense stat, and a slightly weaker fonic defense stat. So it's up to you. The boss is still extremely strong though, with crazy multi hit attacks. Your choice how hard you want this to be. Tear heals, Jade spams Artes, the usual. Guy will probably die a lot if you leave him up to the AI. As long as you lure the boss away from Jade and Tear you'll be fine though.

Strategy: Alright, so same exact boss as before, just better stats. It's up to you if you want to have Guy attack it or do nothing, if you even have him in the party. Don't forget this boss has crazy deceptive range and powerful multi hit attacks. Guard up close, guard them all. Only combo when it's stunned from Jade, if you can help it. Try to stay away when it goes into OverLimit.

I was LV58 for this one. Yea, I know, less of a level than the last boss. That's because I didn't have to LV all the way up to Lv63 to make this recordable. Just like the last one, you don't HAVE to fight this boss right now, but who doesn't like the challenge? Better to do it now than forget it when it's too late. Speaking of which, I don't know when you can't fight it anymore, so I would strongly recommend just getting it over with.

You gain titles and costume titles by either completing sidequests/events or just continuing the game for the rest.

@instantlight12 Well, that's true. I forgot that bit. I only managed to pull off Indignation by accident one time during my second playthrough.

@ShunsuiHitsugaya you first have to use his thunder blad 200X

[ShunsuiHitsugaya]

@Arausito You have to be on your second playthrough or higher and when Jade is in Overlimit mode, hold down the R2 button.

@noodles317 I think you can get it if you beat Nebilim (replica of Jade's teacher) on Very Hard or Unknown. So you have to get the Planetary Catalysts.
