Revision 1

Grandis Molis is a major boss in Alabaster Dawn, a massive mole-class Nuemera encountered during Chapter 2 around the Aurum Plains and the route to Sundalan. The fight is a three-phase endurance test built around the boss burrowing underground and erupting with wide rock-and-grass attacks.

Overview

Phase 1

The boss dives underground and resurfaces with swiping attacks. It throws spinning projectiles that return like a boomerang, which can be parried, and it periodically protects itself with a barrier. Punish the moments immediately after it surfaces from a dive.

Phase 2

Grandis Molis gains an "Ultra Spin" move, surrounding itself with both rocks and giant grass at the same time while it charges across the arena. The earlier dive-and-swipe and returning-projectile attacks continue. Clear the giant grass it spawns so it does not block your movement during the charge.

Phase 3

The final phase increases attack frequency. The boss chains two consecutive ground-burst moves and adds extra dive components onto its swipe attacks, leaving smaller safe windows. Keep healing items in reserve and prioritize parrying the telegraphed wind-ups to force stagger openings.

Strategy

• Bring a ranged option for the windows when the boss is burrowed or mid-charge, and a melee weapon for the post-dive punish.

• Parry the returning spinning projectiles to build break meter pressure.

• Use the Divine Chakram or a sword to cut the giant grass it raises so it cannot wall you in during the Ultra Spin.

• Stock Healing Bulbs and a buff dish from Cooking before entering, since Phase 3 leaves little room to recover.
