Tomato Devil is a Story Boss encounter in Neverness to Everness. Tomato Devil is weak to Chaos damage.
Tomato Devil is the introductory boss encounter in Neverness to Everness, scaled to teach the parry-and-stagger loop on a forgiving difficulty floor. The fight is split into two stages with separate health bars rather than scaling difficulty levels.

Tomato Devil is fought in two stages with separate stat blocks rather than scaling difficulty levels. Each stage carries its own 1,320,000 HP pool. The ATK gain between Stage 1 and Stage 2 is small, so the second stage rewards aggression once Stage 1's pattern is memorized.
Stage | HP | ATK | DEF |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1,320,000 | 34 | 840 |
2 | 1,320,000 | 43 | 840 |
Use the trial party provided by the Spinoff. Learn the first fight's projectiles and follow-up strike, then give the second fight's wider area attacks enough space.

Tomato Devil is fought in Tomato Jelly Rampage: Live Report!, south of Coastal Highway Z42 in Bridge Crossings. The first fight supplies Esper Zero, Mint and Lacrimosa. Build recommendations for a free-choice party do not apply to that scripted lineup.
Dodge the opening encounter's projectile barrage and keep a dodge ready for the melee strike afterward. The second fight uses more large area attacks: watch the warning lines and circles, then leave them before impact. These story fights advance the Spinoff without a separate boss material bundle.
