Elder Mist is a tutorial boss in Sea of Stars. Therefore, you will encounter him near the beginning of your adventure when you are learning game mechanics after meeting Garl. Nevertheless, this early-game boss will be very strong.

In addition, the Elder Mist trial involves fighting two entities, as Elder Mist’s Sword has a separate HP bar. And if you try to attack this opponent during the boss battle, it will respond with a sword strike and deal massive damage to all your characters. Here’s how you can prepare for this tough fight:

Make food in the camp that can restore your Health.
Equip everything you find in chests up to this point.
Activate the Amulet of Storytelling, available to you from the start of the game. This Relic will increase the HP of all your characters by 100% and restore some of your Health after battles.

How to Defeat Elder Mist

So, to beat the Elder Mist boss fight in Sea of Stars, you must first defeat its Sword. This “enemy” has 90 HP, so you have to spend a few turns on it. Only after that can you attack Elder Mist without fear of death for the whole team. But be careful, as the boss will restore the Sword after a few turns. And yes, you will have to attack it again.

Also, Elder Mist can heal itself using charged skills. Break them to make this fight as short as possible. We recommend you boost Valerie or Zele with live mana to break Elder Mist’s skills in Sea of Stars before it uses them. Keep attacking the boss, and you will be able to defeat it with zero deaths.

That’s all you need to know about how to beat Elder Mist in Sea of Stars. This boss can become a challenge if you don’t attack its Sword first. So follow our advice to defeat it and complete the tutorial. While you are here, take a look at our guide on how to get a Turbo Cookie.
