If anyone has any tips for beating Beelzebub without going SKA, I could use help. It seems to be a puzzle boss, except I'm not figuring out the puzzle here.
1) I got to him before day 100 and he and Leviathan are still weakened.
2) Took out his subordinates so he doesn't power up pre-fight.
I'm plenty strong enough to rip through the first phase, but he always just eats Leviathan and then wrecks me. Is there any way to prevent that? Do I need to land lethal damage on him and Leviathan at the same time? Or is there another trick I'm missing.
I'm clearly not smart enough to see what the trick is, if there is one.
EDIT: Okay, figured it out. Phase 2 is just inevitable. The big mistake I was making was focusing down Beelzebub, meaning when he transformed into phase 2, he had his stats boosted from getting to low HP, and they stayed boosted when he transitioned to phase 2 making him a massive powerhouse.
If I'd known this I might have realized I just needed to be a hair stronger, but I squeaked by with Tenacity and 1 hp. It's quite tough but doable.
