The player in this game will be faced with a ton of new boss fights, one of them being a team fight between Naamah and Glasya-Labolas, two demons the player had previously faced in this game, but now came back stronger.

Who are Naamah and Glasya-Labolas?

Naamah is one of Qadištu and will have an important role, even after this fight, and Glasya-Labolas is what can be described as a mini boss, who the player will kill now.

Naamah, as well as Glasya-Labolas, are both enemies the player will have met at this point in the game. Glasya-Labolas was faced during the Lay of the Land quest, and Naamah during the Angel’s Trail quest, both are pretty early on.

However, until now, the player only fought them individually. Now, they’re coming at the player as a team, which makes this fight a whole lot harder for the player to win.

Naamah Boss Overview

Naamah is part of the Qadištu race, and during this fight, will be at level 22. Here are her stats, as well as resistances and weaknesses.

Now, when it comes to her skills, here what the player can expect:

Glasya-Labolas Boss Overview

In this fight, Glasya-Labolas will be on level 21. This demon is a part of the beast race.

Before the Fight

Before the fight begins, the player should keep in mind that this fight will happen suddenly when the player is heading to school, and should prepare before going to bed.

The player should make sure all their demons have full HP and MP.

Especially, the player should make sure the Nahobino does not have a weakness to either force or dark. If he does, this can be fixed by unlocking the Divine Amalgamation miracle and changing his affinities.

If the player doesn’t do that, Nahobino will be very vulnerable during the fight, especially because, by default, he has a force and dark weakness.

The best essence to use for the Nahobino is that of Apsaras. The reason is that she has no weaknesses to either force or dark, and the best part is that she blocks charm, something Naamah excels at.

Also, the player should head to Cadaver’s Hollow, as there, they would need to make a few purchases before this fight.

Here, the player should buy the following:

• Amrita Soda. This cures status ailments on one ally. Naamah will charm the player’s characters and this is a way to cure them. The player should carry at least 10.
• Dark Dampener. Using this, the player nullifies dark attacks for one turn on all allies.
• Force Dampener. This is Similar to the Dark Dampener, however, Force Dampener nullifies force attacks on all allies for one turn.

Best Demons To Bring Along

When it comes to this fight, Yoko will have already left, so the player has to make do without her.

The player should try to choose demons who do not have a weakness to Force or Dark, or even better, if they can block one of them, at the very least. Another thing to keep an eye for are demons who can block Charm.

Some good demons to look out for are the following:

• Leanan Sidhe. She is definitely one of the best demons the player can get access to at this point in time. She blocks dark, but has a weakness against force, which could be an issue, but she should still fare well. If she blocks an attack from Naamah she can make the enemies lose actions. Her main role will be as a healer, and the player should make her inherit Zio.
• Andras. This demon is definitely great to have on hand. While he doesn’t block dark or force, he is resistant to charm, which is great against Naamah.
• Bicorn. This demon can fully block dark, and is neutral to force. This means it can block Naamah’s attacks. It’s also great for physical attacks, Naamah’s weakness.
• Apsaras. This demon could definitely be of use here. Not only does she have no weakness towards either force or dark, but she also blocks charm. This is incredibly useful as she won’t be affected by Naamah’s Capitulate to Pleasure +7.

Defeating Naamah and Glasya-Labolas

When this fight starts, the player should immediately make use of their Magatsuhi to land critical hits on their enemies. The player should firstly focus on Glasya-Labolas, as he’s the weaker one of the two. As his weakness is electric, the player should unleash that on him.

Before the player’s turn is over, the player should activate a Force Dampener, as Glasya-Labolas will unleash Zanma +4 on an ally.

Naamah might cast Capitulate to Pleasure +7, which will more than likely affect all the player’s allies, unless they have partial or full blockage of charm. If not, the player should try their best to make use of the Amrita Soda.

Following that on the enemy’s next turn, Naamah is likely to use some of her dark attacks, so before that, the player should’ve set up a Dark Dampener. Meanwhile, Glasya-Labolas will use a physical attack if given the chance. The fight will continue in a similar pattern to this, so if the player knows when to set up a dampener, this fight should be a piece of cake, especially when they take down the first enemy, Glasya-Labolas.

Rewards for Defeating Naamah and Glasya-Labolas

Of course, upon winning the fight, the player will get Experience points, but also some money, namely 540 macca. The player also receives a Lavish Demon Box.

After this fight, the player gains the possibility to obtain Glasya-Labolas by fusion.
