Battle
In the start of the battle, Judge Bergan is flanked with Imperial Judges, even though you're over-level'd, don't underestimate this fight, by just messing up your strategy can completely turn the tables. As stated before, the Imperial Judges serves mostly as a meat shield and distraction for Judge Bergan, so try your best to lure them away from Judge Bergan to the other side, and hopefully you manage to kill at least one Imperial Judge before Bergan pursues. Judge Bergan hits pretty hard, with you over-leveled or not. So try your best on defeating all the Imperial Judges and minimizing your damage taken before focusing on defeating Judge Bergan. When majority of Judge Bergan's HP is drained, he'll use "Battle Cry", which increases his defense and raises his attack power, which now you have to focus on healing FAST and hitting him at the same time. Should you feel that you're overwhelmed, summon Mateus and let him/her shield you while you recover. If Mateus manages to execute his/her final attack, make sure it's triggered in crowd, it can kill majority of the Imperial Judges.
