This guide will feature anything to help with boss fights. This can be just normal strats and how to approach the fight itself, or in some cases manipulations or safe spots. Feel free to message me if you have anything else to add to the guide!
Note: This is just meant to showcase the fight and the differences in Advanced Mode. I won't go into detail about the strats and whatnot, if you want that check my Normal Mode guide instead: https://www.speedrun.com/shining_soul/guide/vz2uu
Disclaimer: This is all done with Dragonute who is obviously way lower level and worse geared than in an actual speedrun, but the idea should still be the same regardless. Hopefully everything listed in this guide applies across all different classes.

[section=1st Boss - Beast King] Basically the Ball Phase is super fast, so you're probably better of waiting for the boss to return to the top to hit him.
[section=2nd Boss - Colossus] Same as with the first boss, the Ball Phase here is also much faster this time around.
[section=3rd Boss - Bulzome] All the projectiles are super fast, which makes getting a hit on the boss a bit more annoying.
[section=4th Boss - Mishaela] Now this boss fight is a mean one! The spells are so fast that it's hard to get out attacks in time. I'm quite low level so health shouldn't be an issue with an actually prepared character. I'm sure there's a more optimal spot to get the boss trapped at so you don't take so many hits and get interrupted all the time.
[section=5th Boss - Iom] While the projectiles are much faster, it doesn't affect us since we can just safe spot the boss, just as we would do on Normal Mode.
[section=6th Boss - Zeon] As always with this boss it's an annoying fight to deal with. Now he's even faster so getting hitting him isn't that easy.
[section=7th Boss - Darksol] Honestly it's not really that noticable of a difference fighting this boss. Just that you're most likely not going to get any big charge attacks started. He's still as simple as ever.
[section=8th Boss - Dark Dragon] This boss is super tough to beat! You only have 10s after killing one of the heads before it respawns again! But sadly I was only level 46 and am no way near strong enough to finish this fight. You probably need to be incredibly prepared and high level in order to take down this bad boy. Or perhaps you could weaken all of the heads and use a strong Soul Summon to take all down at the same time or something.
