Stranger of Paradise Griffin Queen Boss Guide

When first coming into the room, there are two ways to go. To the right is a drop that players can go, however, they will take fall damage for going this route in exchange for getting close to the first Bomb. To the left, enemies will be notified of the player's presence, but any Fire that comes in can be absorbed with Soul Shield.

Bombs and Bats can be dealt with Aeroga from Mages or any area of effect Combo Abilities. Swordfighter's Interception Ability is especially useful to automatically dodge incoming Fire attacks while dealing damage. If players have White Mage unlocked, casting Protect and Shell will keep the player safe.

Once the mobs are dealt with, all that remains is the Griffin Queen.

Griffin Queen Moves

The Griffin Queen can fly into the air, swooping down to deal damage. During this time, it's important to keep an eye out for its unblockable attack. This can potentially one shot the player on Hard Mode if they don't have the Defense or HP to withstand it.

On the ground, Griffin Queen has many spinning moves that it will attempt to do. Staggering it with moves that deal Break Damage is the most effective way of dealing with it. With a weakness to Blunt damage, the Pugilist and Mage are very good against it.

Ash is the best character to have in the party against this boss as calling on him will deal tons of damage and potentially stagger the boss. All of the boss's attacks are blockable apart from when it uses Aero magic in the air. It hits hard and using Combo Abilities will lock Jack into the animation for the attack, making this fight a poking battle until it staggers.
