Tales of Symphonia Colette Solo: Mithos (Phase 1) [No Items/Mania/No Damage]

The final boss!



Strategy:
For this fight, I took the Krona Symbol and Jet Boots. I took Jet Boots for mobility and Krona Symbol so I don't get sealed by Mithos' Retribution.

I took Super Guard to deal with the Time Stops. He uses two time stops. He always uses his first at the start of the fight.

Let's go over his attacks:
His spells are: Time Stop, Absolute, Gravity Well, Ground Dasher, Holy Lance, Indignation, Judgment, and Ray. He will pretty much only cast spells near the center of the map and he will teleport there to cast. Retribution isn't technically a spell, but it functions in the same way. It's also worth noting that he can instantly cast spells while in overlimit, so watch out for that.

His melee attacks are: Rejection, a multi-hit attack where he emits light from his hand, and a spin attack. He will usually teleport behind me to do a melee attack (unless he's running at me to attack), so running towards Mithos' location prior to his teleport is a good way to dodge him. If he's running at me to do a melee attack, I need to backstep to dodge it. Rejection will counter a jump.

His Mystic Artes are Indignation Judgment and Holy Binds. He will normally use Indignation Judgment after his second Judgment. I don't know the exact HP threshold for Holy Binds, so I just went with my feeling lol.

Basic pattern is to keep some distance (dodging his melee attacks can be a bit tricky with his teleports) and punish spells. Nothing too special, but it's a fun fight Imo!
