How to defeat The Never-Ending Arachne
This teleporting boss uses frequent AoE attacks, high HP, and phase mechanics, but parries and dodges counter it effectively. Recommended teams exploit Chaos weakness with Daffodill as main DPS.
Optimal team setups
| Team 1 (Discord Cycle) | Team 2 (Scorch Cycle) |
|---|---|
| Main DPS: Daffodill Sub-DPS: Haniel Support: Sakiri Support: Fadia |
Main DPS: Daffodill Sub-DPS: Baicang Support: Sakiri Support: Adler |
Step-by-step fight guide
Step 1: Handle basic combos
Observe attack patterns; most swings and spins are dodgeable with Perfect Dodges for Critical Ripostes. Focus parries on combo finishers to stagger the boss briefly and build break gauge.
Step 2: Avoid flower shockwaves
Arachne plants flowers that emit radial shockwaves; jump over low ones or use timed Critical Dodges on larger bursts. Stay mobile to prevent grouping up.
Step 3: Survive laser barrages
Predictive lines mark laser sweeps (story-exclusive in some versions); weave through gaps or dash perpendicular. Prioritize support heals here.
Step 4: Enter and manage Phase 2
At low HP, transition to Phase 2; stick to illuminated safe zones or freeze in place. Dodge telegraphed strikes while watching for the final parryable attack.
Step 5: Break and finish
Use Discord (Psyche/Incantation mix) or Scorch (Incantation focus) Esper Cycles for massive break DMG and DoT. Parry the Phase 2 finisher for vulnerability window, then unload ultimates.
Weekly resets allow repeat farms; first clears guarantee access.
