You have to choose Fake Rabi every time you get the option to in the post-chapter bits and you have to choose Dire when given the option of whose behind the door(it'll make sense later).
It's been so long I don't remember how the fight went myself but try getting better equimpent by fighting Guardians if you haven't. Also looking at the attack itself in the games files it removes all buffs from your party and it's a guarnteed hit that hit's the entire party so you'll probably have to use a character with a tank skill so they'll be the only one to take the hit even if it one-shots them instead(You actually have to use that strategy in the second game to defeat an optional boss).
Yeah I might be confusing how incite works in the other SEQUEL games where it makes it so that not only do enemies focus on that character but all attacks even party wide ones hit only them as well. The only other reason I could see you taking way more damage than you should is that you haven't been crafting equipment and so you're MDF is way lower than the game is expecting as it's probably expecting you to use synthesis regularly. I don't have a save around that point but I do have one before the fight with Life Monster and in that save my party is all lvl 47 with all of them having around 210 MDF is that similar to the stats you have?
Bind is key for beating bosses. All bosses have a pattern to their actions, usually 5-7 turns long so if you just pay attention to when they use certain skills, you can just avoid troublesome skills altogether. Stun also works 100% the first time (mechanic shock skill does this).
You know I actually might be remembering that wrong yeah, I know there's a boss in awake(Evil Bunny) who you can only beat by having both Pirila and Nosh use incite on certain turns but that actually might just be a multi hit attack that comes across as a whole party attack? I don't know looking the games files she seems to use a party-wide attack but there's also a variation of it that's single hit that she doesn't seem to have set to her so I dunno unless the game uses a script to change which ones she uses.
Evil bunny's restraint attack hits semi randomly. While it chooses random targets, it won't hit the same target twice unless forced to by incite. I imagine her fight is completely scripted since it's more like a puzzle than an actual fight.
Her trample attack does 10 damage normally but 1000000 damage to bound targets. That's why its important to use incite, so only one person gets bound and then defeated.
You need to complete subquest #81 (Mana Vessels) during the postgame to gain access to Eternal Land, the Altar of Reincarnation is at the end of it.
New game is definitely the easiest-yet-tedious route since I'll have to grind for exp again and me being bound by my own rules won't let me use a save editor to cheese everything.
I don't see any mob in that place though.
