So I'm playing through this game and enjoying it for the most part (the combat is agonizingly slow for sure), until I encounter a boss-like monster with 3 arms over a pit of lava.
Ok, I'm thinking, I'll focus down the arms one at a time. Makes sense. I throw up barrier on everyone and start chipping away, hitting for 11-15 at a time (with 3-bar attacks). Meanwhile I'm getting nuked by the 3 arms and the main thing, which randomly heals the arms.
I finally destroy an arm, no small feat when it randomly heals itself for 15-28 fairly often.
As I am about to destroy the second arm, the first one regenerates. FFS I say to myself. I continue on, destroying the second arm and the first one for a second time. As I am chipping away at the 3rd, I let barrier fall off. This is it, the fight is almost over! Then it regenerates the first arm again. FFS!!!!!!!! Then, AFTER ONE BAR FILLS UP, IT REGENERATES THE OTHER ARM AGAIN. I give up, ALT-F4. Make angry post here.
Did I miss something? I tried using the water fate card, but it drained a bunch of core power and didn't do any more damage than my regular attacks.
