Preparation

To do the most damage and stay alive, wear the Motivity. Build key items and use their power. Apply an Abrasive Ampoule to enhance weapon potency, and wield the Big Pipe Wrench as the primary conduit of arthritic force.

Complement this setup with the Puppet Ring, which activates Puppet String for explosive strike sequences, and consider carrying Legion Magazines for supplementary buffs to stamina and defense. These preparations lay the foundation for sustained pressure throughout the encounter.

Boss Fight: Phase One

To begin, cover the Big Pipe Wrench with an Abrasive Ampoule. Next, move toward Arlecchino. Using Puppet String right away is the best way to start. It hits the boss hard from above and throws them off.

Maintain relentless aggression by chaining charged wrench strikes into follow-up Puppet String attacks whenever Arlecchino staggers—Leverage Lea’s support to extend the window of vulnerability, allowing for successive posture-breaking combos. Evade the boss’s counterattacks with timed rolls, then reapply offensive pressure to prevent Arlecchino from regaining control.

Boss Fight: Phase Two

Upon transition to the second phase, prioritize endurance by healing and restoring defensive resources before Arlecchino unleashes its signature slam attack. Employ dual blocks and evasion rolls to mitigate area-of-effect damage, then regroup to charge Fable Arts three times for a devastating area strike commonly known as the “Phase Skip.”

Immediately after the fable assault, consume a fresh Abrasive Ampoule to replenish offensive buffs and chain directly into Puppet String combos. Coordinate with Lea for a synchronized climax, using burst damage to shatter posture, and finish the encounter swiftly. Defensive discipline—balancing blocks, guards, and rolls—remains critical between openings to ensure sustained offensive momentum.
