Je-Ne-Viv boss fight strategy
While you can add any of the weapons to your arsenal to aid you in the battle, make sure that you pick up thePrismatic Missilethat drops in. It looks like a white, round pearl. This creates explosions around your character.
You’ll notice a theme with the dropped weapons: they’re allranged. Meaning that the key strategy here is tokite—stay at a distance andattack from afar. Try not to get too close because Je-Ne-Viv can inflict major damage if it hits you.
Keep up the kiting strategy untilLuminaire Foscari, the character you would have already unlocked at this point by breaking the red Seal of the Abyss with Maruto Cuts, appears and finishes the job.
