Stage 26: Papa Mia

Video Guide

Note

This guide assumes that you have read the Basics & Spell Recommendations page and have the baseline spells recommended there.

  • Earth filler spell, such as Plaincracker.

Required Spells

  • Exuviation
  • Eerie Soundwave

Act 1

In Act 1 we need to defeat a Mirrorknight. It doesn’t really do much, but it does cast Alternate Plumage which makes it functionally invulnerable to damage. However, we can remove this with Eerie Soundwave! Once that’s done, we just need to keep ourselves healed and kill it. It will cast Caber Toss which can be interrupted with Flying Sardine.

Act 2

In Act 2 we fight a somewhat iconic Final Fantasy enemy: Papa Humbaba. He starts out by casting Raw Instinct which makes all attacks guaranteed critical hits, but it can be removed with Eerie Soundwave. He also casts Body Blow which hits pretty hard, but it’s not too bad. Next he will cast Void Thunder II which is a ground-targeted AOE that spawns Thunderhead clouds. The clouds will move around the arena and should be avoided as much as possible. After some time Papa Humbaba will cast Dad Joke which is a large knockback. Position yourself close to him so that you don’t get knocked into the electric ring around the outside of the arena. He follows this up with Void Thunder III which applies a nasty Electrocution DOT debuff. Cleanse it from yourself with Exuviation and continue killing him. The fight will just loop from this point, so repeat mechanics as needed until he’s dead.
