Bestiary Entry

 * Genus: Esper
 * Classification: The Gigas

Battle
Belias is found guarding the Dawn Shard at the heart of the Tomb of Raithwall. In comparison to previous enemies and bosses, Belias is a heavy hitter, but is comparatively slow. His unique attack, Firaja, deals heavy Fire damage to everyone in the party, and also has the potential to inflict the Oil status. Although Belias has a high Magick Resist, his elemental weakness to Water leaves him open to Water spells.

Strategy
The Rain of Tears unlockable item (Aqua Shot and Vega) in the Bazaar is useful for this battle. A good method is to have all characters equip magick-enhancing equipment and set them to cast Water, or use Water Motes. Shell is useful, as is a healthy supply of Handkerchiefs.
