The final boss of Riesz and Hawkeye's route, the Archdemon. Widely considered to be the most difficult of the trio of final bosses the game offers, he can be challenging for the unprepared, though the right party setup will decimate him pretty quickly. Per usual, buffing with Riesz while debuffing with Charlotte tends to be key, especially to negate his own buffs/debuffs. Strictly speaking you can ignore his hands in the second phase if you just want to lay into him, but it's a lot less hectic to clear them out so they're not pelting you with attacks and rebuffing him constantly.

I will say he's definitely cool looking. It's honestly impressive how they adapted that low-rez 16-bit sprite from back in the day into this monstrosity.

Anyway, I threw in the ending sequence just because. More Mana to come! Enjoy, and thanks for watching~
