I swear, if Undine kills me one more time, I will stab my monitor.

Anyone who has beaten Tales of Phantasia have ANY advice at all for being this bitch? I would be fine if it weren't for that damn shockwave attack

I think I used something called fury slash, where Cless rears back and swings his weapon, doing loads of damage. I remember that fight being really easy, so I don't remember what I did...

Just spam fury slash, see how far that gets you. Oh yeah, use flare bottles on Cless. Make Klarth and Arche cast many spells. Have Mint value HP over TP.

ToP is not an easy game at all... but most of its enemies have a common major flaw:

If you do a multi-hit attack over and over again, all they will do is just standing there, stuck in their flinching animation like idiots.

This is basically the key at beating any hard enemy ; spam multi-hit attacks and keep your foe into flinching animation. Doing damage is not very important if at all ; through careful preparation (read: specifying before the battle the one spell Arche and Klarth should spam as well as setting Mint on "value HP over TP" AI), your allies will gladly do all of the hard work while your merciless bashing keep the foes from doing anything at all.

Also, Undine IS one of the game's harder bosses in the way that if you do not get her into flinching mode quickly, she will slaughter you quickly. Once you cornered her to the wall and begun your flinch-inducing barrage, she shouldn't be a problem at all ; Undine has a pretty long flinching animation.

Only a few bosses in the game resist this strategy... namely, flying bosses and most notably, the final boss, who likes to actually make you taste your own medecine by dragging you close and then slamming you back and forth between the wall and his arm (which is also why many people consider this boss one of the most frustrating final bosses in any RPG).

Well, I guess that this ends my reply about ToP.

Have a nice day and happy boss-pounding!

@Tatrion: All my characters are 21...I know Cless gets Phoenix at 23, but no clue on Fury Slash.

@Zerodius: Yeah, ToP has been pretty tough so far. This is my first time playing through it though. I do know about the flinching flaw, but I normally don't need it. I just can't get it to work on Undine though, as soon as I get close enough to her, she slashes me, sends me flying back, and sends out a shitload of shockwaves. (at least, she does to me) My normal attack does pretty crappy damage on her too...only about 60 per hit, where my Lightning Bolt does 400-500. I can actually jump over her shockwave if I use it at the right time.

I think I'll just try to level up some more before I fight her. _¬
