Why are you somehow strong than Ultima …

Any time Ifrit is defeated by Leviathan , the fighting can be retry from the current phase . In theory , it would n’t be such a timestoppingEikonbattle if it were n’t for the Tsunami phase — a wash to stop the attack before it instantly floods everything in Mysidia . Here ’s how to break Leviathan ’s shield in Final Fantasy XVI : The Rising Tide .

How to break Leviathan’s shield in Final Fantasy 16 The Rising Tide - Leviathan Phase 3 Eikon fight

Leviathan phase 3 does n’t discriminate , its difficulty up there no matter which manner you ’re playing the game in . The tonality is to never have a here and now when Ifrit is n’t on the offensive .

Spitfire every time it charges

Spitfire is Ifrit ’s laser ability ( R2 + Triangle ) . Every time it bear down , no matter when you are , apply it .

Brimstone when you’re near

Brimstone is a charged volatile shield ability that can only hurt lusus naturae at closed range . When you ’re right next to Leviathan , Hold R2 + Square until the standard of measurement is in the red zona and unleash . Much like Spitfire , the destination is to apply it whenever it ’s saddle for another use .

Melee as much as possible

When you ’re out of special moves , the next attack(s ) that will damage Leviathan the most are your melee moves . Wildfire ( Circle ) dash to it to get close .

Always aim for a Backdraft Finish

When you ’re doing your Melee combo , always propose for a Backdraft Finish . On a PS controller , that ’s :

A Backdraft finish deal roughly four to six time more damage than a claw attack .

Charged shot when you’re too far

When Leviathan is too far from your pincer ’s reach , unleash charge shot when you could . Hold Triangle and release it once you hear a tiny “ ping ! ” The latter is a sign that it ’s at maximal baron . It ’s more efficient than lobbing regular fire .

Dodge everything

in conclusion , be extra sure you do n’t get hit by Leviathan ’s attempt ! Never bear in mind the damage it does to your HP , getting impinge on will lose you cute seconds you could be using to stop the Tsunami .

Leviathan is a passably absolvitory Eikon … kind of . At least , it ’s more forgiving than the Timekeeper , which we only defeat with an arm of potions . Once you ’ve sweep over the Tsunami phase , you will have reached your last checkpoint . Whenever you ’re vote out in the forthcoming form , the battle will always return here .
