How to Beat Akashic Dragon in Final Fantasy 16
The good news is that there is a huge arena for this fight, but it also means that Clive will have to do a lot of running anddodging to avoid the dangerous AoE attackscoming his way.
First Phase
As a tip, it is actually much easier to win this fight up close than at range, and the Akashic Dragon also surprisingly prefers to be within melee range. To that end, let’s check out the attacks that players will have to take note of:
Despite a long list of attacks that will only get longer, the more challenging part about this boss fight is its length and the hardiness of the foe. Keep pushing and punishing the enemy at close range, and eventually, it willget Staggeredand usher in the next stage.
Second Phase
Once a decent chunk of health has been removed from the boss following its first Staggered window, get ready for even more attacks in addition to those mentioned above.
TheEikonic Abilities of Garudawill certainly come in handy when trying to attack the dragon’s head, while Phoenix Shift is also an excellent tool to get players close to inflict some pain of their own. In time, the Akashic Dragon will be brought down, and players can claim the rewards of 90 XP, 120 AP, and 3000 Gil. There will also be a bunch of crafting materials to grab too.
