There are two | There are two side winders that fight alongside The Time Being. They are souped up [[Little devil]]s in actuality. What makes this battle particularly frustrating is the side winder's ability to use the [[Sands of time]]. This item reverts the entire battle to the beginning of the fight, meaning everybody is returned to their original states at the start of the battle. This is a mixed blessing. If the player is about to lose all of their party members and a side winder uses the Sands of time, it saves on having to bail out the player's party. However, if they are about to land the killing blow and the Sands of time is used, it leads to frustration. Expect the battle to be drawn out a while as the side winder uses Sands of time at least three times before the entire match is done. Another setback is that the player can't target the side winder with group spells, as they line up like this: | ||
* | *Side winder | ||
* | *The Time Being | ||
* | *Side winder | ||
Because of this, only spells like Boom will work which leads to another problem. The | Because of this, only spells like Boom will work, which leads to another problem. The Time Being cast [[Bound]], which sends a spell cast against The Time Being back against the user. | ||
The solution to beating the | The solution to beating the side winders is being patient and dealing with them first. Focus on one side winder at a time and do not worry about The Time Being. Do not use skills like Sword Dance which are random and may focus on the wrong enemy. Instead, use spells like [[Frizzle]] and attacks that hit a single enemy like [[Knuckle Sandwich]]. Focus on one side winder and then the other. If a side winder uses the Sands of time, just be patient and continue the same strategy until both of them fall. Then, work on The Time Being. | ||
