Tactics Ogre Reborn: Final Boss Weaknesses and Funny Way to Beat Him

Tactics Ogre Reborn has the hardest final boss of the series. He's delightfully evil. We can be too.

[@CoffeePotato]

To be clear: You can beat this guy 100 different ways, it will depend on your party, this is just a rundown of his quirks, weaknesses, and a funny way to make him self destruct.

[@bronysaiyan5236]

I had to resort to immortal Denam with my entire undead team to win lol

[@Zeon081]

This game should be called Tactics Pizza because it has a lot of cheese :)

[@CoffeePotato]

As always! That's what makes this series wonderful!

[@Marsh9090]

Thank you so much! This December I got to this boss and gave up after many attempts. This summer I decided to try again with this strategy. Went back outside the gardens to get dragons and came back in and did it!

[@CoffeePotato]

Glad to help! There's a ton of ways to do it, this one's just funny 😂

[@jvdach4652]

Yes the grenades are based on weapons kill, changed a Beastmaster weapon to a lvl 1 skill and they dealt 1 damage while previously dealing 200+

[@benedict6962]

Yeah, ninjutsu and self destruct are funky too.

[@MrVariant]

yeah lol Arycelle as a beast tamer was doing 280 with each musk shot (I think it's called that, matched the dark element and lobber makes a range throw). Fusilier way too slow (and no animal buffs) to be playable let alone needs line of sight. Risk assessment is the only harmful thing the 1st form can do, and you need a lot of range with ease for who is stunned/frightened, so maybe fusilier helps 2nd form so you don't get area of effect owned. Barbas did make fusils look bad lol. Surprised vid didn't have dragons throw boulders, I think that's at least 60 damage a pop, surprisingly, and you can go a little outside tile range so long as line of sight shows blue. Though I think it's to exploit rampart aura so he can't move lol interesting and then 16:32 that mirror force type move lol 18:49 and 19:40 wow that's batman level setup.

[@shaifs5072]

Solos with Lord Denam using Brynhild sword with Meditate/Phalanx/First Aid (Lord version) and the auto divine magic. Denam took 200 damage per turn, healed for about 150 every turn. Did about 500 damage per turn. Required collecting 3 autoskill and 1 attack cards.

[@CoffeePotato]

I love seeing how many tricky ways people came up with to beat this guy.

[@andrewtatian7495]

ny denam can oneshot it with berserk and 4 auto skill cards with mighty impact double attack lol

[@centradragon]

This was extremely helpful to see! I got unlucky many times (one attempt had him casting Risk Management turn one, then 3/5 turns after that before I reset and tried again), but using all my spare dragons was the ticket to use his overpowered spells against him. I'm still not sure why my orbs/characters did so little damage, but I'm glad I finally beat him and can actually continue on with enjoying the rest of the story. I don't remember the PSP version to be *quite* as frustrating, and I played that one for several hundred hours. Or, maybe it's a traumatic memory I locked away? Hahaha.

[@CoffeePotato]

He was definitely easier in the PSP version. Orbs aren't doing much because they are dramatically weaker in this version, or rather, have less initial stat overhead, apparently. Glad to help, fair warning, the post game gets even more insane!

[@WarrenReport]

First time it was HARD man!

[@hafizyb]

Wait, you mean to say that most people didn't just do him solo? XD I remember fighting him in PSP and was like "huh, if that's how you're gonna go for, I'm just gonna Denam solo you then". And it works perfectly.

[@Croyles]

How would you deal with the second phase?

[@vilainjoueur1727]

@@Croyles Superlord Denam is just too strong for him. As long as you've collected cards in the first phase, you're good.

[@CoffeePotato]

@@Croyles There's ways to do it with anything 🤣

[@hafizyb]

@@Croyles plenty of ways. It's the skills that matters. For Reborn, some of the famous skills to use are phalanx, steelstance, sanguine assault, etc.. you just need to get like 2/3 auto cards and the rest are physical. It's definitely not as easy to do as PSP, but it's definitely doable. Hell, someone even actually did it with Berserker XD

Unrelated, but a funny little thing about bombs scaling with weapon skill that I just found out: they work with those craftable +20 weapon skill earrings. Just took my Beast Tamer into training and at 40+20 weapon skill his bombs are landing for 400+ damage.

[@CoffeePotato]

That would explain a lot about why Lindl on my main file is hitting so much harder, good call.

[@LIFEGUARD_MANCHAE]

Speaking of beating him in different ways, I wonder if some mad lad out there stoned him to death lol

[@CoffeePotato]

Fine, I'll get it done...

[@CoffeePotato]

@@sethsgamingandstuff Normal stats work, you can get a lot done with exploiting weaknesses and just ignoring stats. For example. Highish for the time stat buccaneer with a 2h in that fight? Hit for 100. Light crossbow hoplite with all defensive stats? 200-400. Just a pierce weakness. Pretty much the only time that happens, but oh well. At the same time, the basic warrior could also drop 500s due to the dark finisher on fists. Mages got their damage once a cudgel finisher opened him up to an Enfeeble. At the same time we can also exploit flat damage through Shots. Stats are stats, but there's a million other mechanics out there that matter more.

[@Tomha]

Now I feel like a fool. I just got to him and he was clapping my cheeks hard! I was convinced he was nigh invincible.

[@hotandlow313]

I solo'd the boss first playthrough of this game with denem have phalenx, mothers blessing, first aid, and sword skill equipped with the brynhild sword. I also had two skill cards and two phy up cards. I also was placing myself in a way so he would grab the random cards around the stadium to get rid of some of his damage and mp regen cards, because whenever he would teleport he always seemed to want to go behind you alot to attack. So I would just stand next to a card and turn away from it so that he would grab it.

[@acadianalien]

I just got to this boss and can't beat him. Watching this video makes me feel like I was playing a completely different game lol. I didn't know faeries existed and all of these combos are awesome

[@CoffeePotato]

Oh yeah, everything's got something, you can pull out some really wild strategies. Faerie Familiars are great tricksters, you can also Perma stun this guy with a Cyclops nearby, or use Warriors to drop a guaranteed Breach hit with a Claymore+, or Pressure Whirl into an Enfeeble to open up for Crit boosted spell spam, or send in a naked Risk Management berserker to eat and redirect damage using bulky gryphons or something...there's just always something to mess with.

[@andrewtatian7495]

@@bd9045 i think coffee teaches pretty well to be honest he has long vis but alot of useful information, as for beating the boss, its actually super easy tbh, theres many ways to win, i can solo him with denam, i can nuke him with my lich who can two shot him, bring a team full of high damage dealers etc, phase two is the "hard" part and that is so easily cheesed and this vid itself made it very clear how to beat this boss lol

[@V4Lanz]

for me, the first face i ended up losing too many times but i had a funny idea so i baited to the edge corner on the map and wait to the enemy units close to me to be pushed one by one out the map. the second face is unclear to me right now but i triyng to figure it out an idea to defeat him

If you don’t already have one.. would you do a video on stat growth? Like how it works, what each class gets? I saw people talking about leveling chars as one class and then switching to another to make different stats grow faster.

[@Anthony-vn5dw]

Thanks to this video, I was able to defeat the final boss. I went in with all dragons and equipped them all with healing items to stay alive in the fight. They were all very tanky, so the final boss AoE's didn't really sting. I equipped skill cards on Denam and made sure he had phalanx up all the time. Slowly but surely, I bit and tail lashed his hp down little by little. But it was dragon scales that did the most damage. TY!

[@CoffeePotato]

Glad to help, congratulations!

[@ryanruopp3711]

My very boring strategy: Have a really powerful Denam and a bunch of Shamans and a stinky healer, give everyone healing items and float shoes. Ignore the dupes. Wait for the risk management to not trigger and OHKO his first form while the AI chases my wizards. After the reset, bring everyone who’s knocked out back to life, then continue the same trick - he will go after the wizards first but if he can’t kill them in one hit they can just keep healing while Denam beats him to death. Having said that, this strategy requires Strength/Agility around 300-350 so not everyone will do this.

[@professorpenne9962]

that boss fight legit made me feel thankful I did a previous save, I soft locked myself on fft with zodiac weg on fft

T E C H N I C A L L Y

[@geovannipurcino]

I love this strategy lol. I 'used' accidentally with my dragons against Ozma and Lanselot. Ozma in particular lost about 60% of her hp hitting dragon scale lol. About the final fight, for me it was not that bad because I did PoTD in my first chaos run(never completed PoTD to 100 on the PSP version, so I really wanted to do that) before the gardens. The AI made a mistake in the first phase by activating risk management and charging my units alone without considering the range of the skill. Summons spells where so good I did not even need to bring my dark dragon to enfeeble him. I try to only use items when I have no other choice, I am glad that even though items are powerful, you can still do most fights without using them.

[@CoffeePotato]

Yup, that's what makes challenge runs so fun in this. Every little thing is just swimming in mechanics to exploit.

[@jonkohrr2.06]

Guess he caught on to my plan... he didn't target the clump of dragons I had, but only one (and one that didn't proc dragon scale). Long story short, I just got obliterated... lol. I guess I need to try something else.

Bring Fortify/Dodge items, pocket heals, hit Dorgy with a Brand to Weaken him, use poison on his dragons to melt them out of the fight, etc. I'll have more on how to handle this in a proper team sense when I have time, but it's not just one trick.

Same as Catiua's betrayal makes no sense at first, but you realize both she and Tarty basically line up in their goal of "end this stupid war as fast as possible, ignore the generational drama". ...or how Vyce seems to have a rival complex, which he does, but his real goal is to set himself apart from Denam to get out of the friend zone.

So you can just reclass to a bunch of classes at like level 40 and then reclass to Lord to use ridiculous skill combos. How I did it was equipping Denam with brynhildr and lombardia, equipping the skills 1h swords, meditate iv, phalanx iii, and the auto skill that removes debuffs (it's called mother's [something]), and giving Denam a bunch of healing items. On the first phase, before finishing it, collect 3-4 skill cards so that those skills proc pretty much always and you will be pretty much unkillable for plenty of time to deal with the second phase by spamming finishers. I made Denam light element and spammed the 4th 1h sword finisher you get. Hope this helps anyone.

CHALLENGE: Try final boss with only Denam and 1 Healer on Neutral Route. My Denam was Dark Knight Build (HP Absorb). That dam risk management, if anything strong team makes phase 1 harder.

I feel like all your videos could be 80% shorter and more direct to the point. U annoy me so much by speaking so much without saying anything.

[@Gaylid]

same as how I dealt with the heavenly generals.Btw which one is harder?The heavenly general or the final boss?

[@CoffeePotato]

Heaven generals, though it depends on which definition of "Final Boss". The story final boss is an attrition fight, so most struggle there at first. The Coda 2 final boss is similar, but moreso just a weird rescue mission out of nowhere. The Coda 4 boss, especially if doing the Challenge version, is definitely the hardest fight in the game. 3 vs 18, 6 of those are previous bosses, they have an up to 21 level advantage, all have Relic gear, all have disabling debuffs, and they come with the biggest terrain advantage possible. Even with a full party it's a pretty hard fight, but Coda 4 Trio is the only way to get the final trophy relic in the game. Even on successful attempts, it can take well over an hour to beat. Paradoxically, despite this being the fastest version of the game, this is one of the longest fights full stop, because you could just one shot everyone with little effort in PSP. Now they not only have that advantage on you, but get a lot of new skills.
