Further Notes
|
- Orthrus is almost immune to Light and Dark magic, you should attempt to fight Orthrus on Earth-Iceday to potentially avoid having spells like Dispel/Flash/Kurayami/Threnody as your !!trigger. This is especially true with 1000 Needles, can not be landed even with Elemental Seal.
The real danger in fighting Orthrus is facing Firaga IV followed by Acheron Flames. Stun one or the other if you can, or interrupt Firaga IV with a critical hit weaponskill.
- When Orthrus does the Howling (animation), it seems to reset all Enmity.
