Where is the Ultimate Sakapatate?

What are the fighting mechanics of Sakapatate Ultime?
It's a boss Gestral who is fighting with the body of one of his accomplices and is wearing a shield equipped with three cannons. He is flammable and Lightning-resistant, which directly influences your team composition.
His main attacks:
- His weakness is only exposed once its Break gauge filled, when he lowers his shield.
- He launches an attack that strikes three times your entire team, ending with a avoidable jumping blow.

- He makes a mark on one of your characters by striking them with their shield. This effect increases the damage sustained by the target.
- He shoots three cannon shots that impose the state burn To your entire team.

- He also sends electric projectiles from the very start of the fight.
- Under the 33 % of PV, it switches to Phase 2 : sound The shield becomes permanent and the cannon fire grows more intense.
Tips for beating Sakapatate Ultime?
the Ultimate Sakapatate follows the same mechanics as its cousin, the Robust Sakapatate, but much more challenging. Before you dive in, get your team ready: level up your key characters, equip them with Pictos that boost Fire damage and keep healing and an anti-status item in reserve. A team focused on Lune and Maelle makes the fight much easier to follow.
Tips That Make a Difference:
- Focus your Fire abilities on the kits for Lune and Maelle. This is the most effective feature of this boss.
- Fill up his bar to Break to break through his shield. His weakness (the shoulder joint) is then exposed: target it first to deal heavy damage.
- Monitor the Mark that it inflicts on your characters. Heal or remove the effect as soon as possible so as not to weaken your target.
- Keep a healthcare reserve Before each cannon salvo: it deals burn To the whole team.
In Phase 2, the bursts come faster and faster, and the shield no longer drops. Stock up on’AP Prepare in advance so you can unleash your most powerful Fire abilities right when the battle shifts—that's when the fight is decided.
