Thank you so much for this walk through. For anybody who is still stuck it really helps a ton if you go back to the Fifth Tier in Tiejin's Tower and level up all the main roles for the characters by fighting the Robot Gladiators (can't remember the name properly) but they give 8000CP and are an easy kill, especially when pre-emptive striked!

Literally 12 years later, thank you my guy

I spent a solid three months trying to beat this boss and failing. Thanks to you I beat it with seconds on my doom count to spare. Thank you so much!

[crnflkgirl]

your strategy was unreasonably better than the official game guide. THANK YOU!!!!

[shadowstriked]

Nice! Just did it in 4:52 in first try without even getting close to being wiped out.. This is by far the best boss walkthrough I've ever seen anywhere!

[kjellibean]

omggg you have no idea how helpful this was. i had light, fang, and hope at first. but doom kept killing me. this way was soooo much easier. THANK YOU!!!!

[TheGreatHornet]

This guide helped out A LOT! Thank you very much for posting this guide to Barthandelus, it was very helpful!

After three frustrating tries with a different group…5-starred this in 6mins 45sec. WOW, man. Great setup, thank you!!

OMG THANK YOU! I watched part of this video, and then gave commands as my wife played and defeated him. I keep an eye on her HP and shouted what Paradigms to change to and when. She was stressed but held up and finished the boss! Poor girl has been getting her but kicked for a week and I wasn't able to help as I stopped playing XIII months ago to play some other games (that and my wife didn't want me to play ahead of her, and she was playing VERY slowly XD).

So again, THANK YOU!

[blissfairway]

Thank you so much! I tried lots of other strategies, but this was the only one that worked and was very easy to follow. :)

Omg this made things so much easier. Thanks so much, I've been trying to be this game since 2011, and now I know where to go for help.
