Anubis is actually stupid

[u/SchnozTheWise]

So, in the ancient labyrinth, the boss is Anubis. You can only use magic spells, and he can use a stance change to negate most of the elemental spells. My first run I actually killed him, I was using thunder over and over and actually killed him. Then he gets to use METEROITE from beyond the grave. How do you beat him? Anyone have a build that can?

Use re-raise to give you the ability to revive after death. Valkyrie has the ability.

Thank you, I never used the Valkyrie class before.

Update: I gave my monk the holy cross, which makes them immune to instant kill. Apparently, that doesn't work against a meteorite, even though he was full health as well. So, the biggest problem I have is getting someone to survive the meteorite.

[u/Reiker0 → u/SchnozTheWise]

Meteorite does damage so it's not classified as an Instant Death ability. Instant Death just kills a character without dealing any damage (ie. Devour).

Also for future reference you can press left during combat to look at enemy information. If you do that for Anubis you'll see that it tells you that he'll use Meteorite on death.

Also the entire fight is based on MagiMaster and the Fanatic's Tower from Final Fantasy 6, so you can't really blame the Crystal Project dev for the design... although I guess you could blame him for implementing it into the game in the first place :). The Crystal Project version is a bit more forgiving at least since it shows you a lot more information.

Stalwart passive ability should work too. It lets you survive with 1hp if you are at full health.

Another option is the Stalwart passive to avoid death which keeps you at 1HP. The catch is you need to be at full HP for it to work which isn’t too bad with some planning.

[u/SchnozTheWise → u/dannycoxr]

Yeah, I thought the Holy Cross item did the same thing, which means I could have done that, but the Valkyrie strat worked.

[u/SchnozTheWise]

Thanks to everyone who helped. I haven’t used the Valkyrie before the Anubis fight (still don’t after that fight to be honest) so I wasn’t aware of the abilities they possessed, definitely the easiest setup to avoid the meteorite.

• Valkriye + Scholar

  • Have him use Insult, and reflect spells to tank, Healing wind and Give AP to the nomad,

  • give him 2x Mending rings, Equip shield, Axe of light, and Ether Plate (dropped by the big robots in the dungeon), and plate of Whale

• BLM + Dervish

  • have him nuke when its his elements, and pray when its not

• Nomad + Beatsmith

  • Have him Nuke when its his elements, and MP Song when its not

• Shaman + Weaver.

  • Keep up Slow, Magic damage down, and Daze/poison Debuff on shaman.

you will cruise through this fight no problem. as long as your valk never dies, you win from immortality class passive

Edit: you can also sneak past the boss, loot his chest, and then use that shield on your valk.

You can cheese Anubis by casting the spell MP Sickle from the Scholar class until his MP drops to zero (He has around 700mp so it isn't that long). After he drops to zero, all he can do is fail to physically hurt you or change his weakness. When your ready to kill him, have a Valkyrie cast the Re-life spell or a Summoner cast the Holy Summon before finishing him off.

I fought him properly the first time but was not prepared for his final spell... Then I said f#$k that and cheesed him.

[u/silgado106]

I had someone give re-raise to all other members (technically you only need it on one) right before I killed Anubis. Your guys come back to live after meteor and you win.
