BREATH OF FIRE IV (RTA)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE STARTING THIS SPEEDRUN
- Rule #1 is to let ERSHIN die in every boss battle until GRUNTS except the Nightmare Encounters in Fairyland You want Ershin to be level 12 for the SOLO BATTLES in CHEK
- Rule #2 is to continue sacrificing Ershin until A-Tur (Should be level ~13 before A-Tur)
- Rule #3 is to not follow the guide strictly without common sense. If you are about to die and you don't heal, don't blame my guide. I cannot foresee every possible scenario.

Turn #1 Guard
[Repeat] Vitamin
If you die re-equip Soul Gem. Don't worry about dying...
Make sure he has over 1100 HP to survive WHITEOUT on turn 5 - but if you die you got Soul Gem. 8)
When they are both spinning with auras select these options
- Option #2, #2, #2, #2 (When he reaches out his hand to Ryu)
TYRANT (60 000 HP) Fire Lv 1-3 + Typhoon (WIND) Earth Lv 1-3 + Hwajeh (FIRE)
The elements listed are what the current weakness is towards the boss
Try to keep everyone at full HP as much as possible but on WIND turns go ALL-IN! You will deal most damage during those. So whenever you see a cool smiley, then you know it's YOLO time. Just re-equip Soul Gems if someone dies (never risk it with Scias though!)
Turn #1 (Earth) - Ershin (Super Vitamin Scias) Scias (Focus) Ryu (Transform Weyr) Turn 8) (Wind) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Super Combo Turn #3 (Fire) - Hwajeh + Healing + Focus Turn #4 (Earth) - Hwajeh + Healing? + Buff Scias? Turn #5 (Fire) - Hwajeh + Healing? + Buff Scias? Turn 8) (Wind) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Super Combo Turn #7 (Earth) - Hwajeh + Healing? + Buff? Turn 8) (Wind) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Super Combo Turn #9 (Fire) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Healing? Turn #10 (Earth) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Healing? Turn #11 (Fire) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Healing? Turn 8) (Wind) - Hwajeh + Typhoon + Super Combo

ASTRAL (60 000 HP) Turn #1 Nina (Ginseng Scias) Cray (Might Scias) Scias (Focus) Turn #2 Nina (Moon Tears) Cray (Might Scias) Scias (Super Combo)
For the rest of the fight just try to buff up Scias with Cray. You can use Super Combo as often as possible! If Ershin is placed first you will ensure the boss will have a turn first, which might only be good if you want to transform into Weyr
Try to use the same technique as in the previous fight (Hwajeh + Typhoon + Super Combo) as much as possible
--- Use Ambrosia whenever you are in critical health with Ryu --- Optional is to equip the Dragon Armor to Ryu during the fight --- Remember to re-equip Soul Gems to characters who recently died
