The Guardian of the Woods (森のタシ Forest's Caretaker) is the first boss you encounter in your journey. He is basically used as the tutorial for boss fights. He is, as his title states, the "Guardian of the Woods"; however, an encounter with Shadar has turned this once benevolent creature into a destructive monster.

Information[]

Genus: Nobilia
Elemental Resistance: Storm
Elemental Weakness: Fire
Tricks: Windfall, Bellow
Items Dropped: Spirit of the Woods (もりのオーブ Forest Orb)
Location: Deep Dark Wood (滝回廊 Corridor of Waterfalls), within The Rolling Hills (北の森 North Forest).

Tricks[]

Windfall (Signature Move)[]

Exclusive: Yes

Type: Point

The enemy pulls their arms above their head, then smashes them on the ground, making wind fly towards the target and deal physical damage.

Bellow[]

Exclusive: Yes

Type: Field

The enemy puts their hands onto the ground, then flings them into the air and screams with all their might, stunning the targets.

Strategy[]

Grind and go through the track between the first save stone and second (which is right before the boss). While he is not a hard boss, Level 4 or 5 on Normal is a good level to battle it. Use Oliver's Fireball to take advantage of this enemy's weakness, and Defend when the boss winds up one of his attacks (Windfall and Bellow).

Since this is pretty much a tutorial, look for the golden orb which lets Oliver do his limit break (Burning Heart).
