This is a short story outline with notes on five bosses (Zorba, Homo Avades, Sogne the Icebound, Louis and Destroyer Charadrius). It is not a complete walkthrough: it does not cover every dungeon, boss, side quest or the day-by-day calendar. The main quest names follow PowerPyx's quest list, the plot summary follows Wikipedia and the boss weaknesses follow GameLeap. Where a source lists no weakness for a boss, this page says so rather than guessing.
The United Kingdom of Euchronia is thrown into turmoil when King Hythlodaeus V is assassinated by General Louis Guiabern and leaves no clear heir. You play Will, an ostracized elda orphan and childhood friend of the prince, who was cursed years earlier and left comatose. With your fairy companion Gallica you work for the Resistance. According to Wikipedia, you and your allies enter the Royal Tournament for the Throne, a contest the Church has rigged, in order to get close to Louis and obtain the formula of the curse. Allies who join along the way include Hulkenberg, Strohl, Junah and Eupha, and later Heismay.
PowerPyx lists eleven main story quests, all of which trigger automatically: Save the Prince from Death's Curse, Necromancer Takedown, Thwart Zorba's Plan, Apprehend the Real Kidnapper, Infiltrate the Charadrius, Obtain Drakodios, Ancestral Solution, Eliminate Virga Island's Threat, Prepare for the Final Battle, Skybound Avatar Conquest and Save the Country. Per Wikipedia, the relic quest leads to the spear Drakodios on Virga Island, where the party finds the ruins of Shinjuku from the "World Before". Louis is apparently killed but survives, and Rella Cygnus, Junah's adoptive sister, confesses to cursing the prince and takes her own life, which lifts the curse.
Wikipedia summarizes the finale as follows: Louis, an elda traumatized by the burning of the elda sanctum, plans to flood the population with Magla to turn people into humans, and the Royal Sceptre is the source of his power. The Akademeia author More reveals himself to be a younger Hythlodaeus. Will destroys Louis and the Sceptre and becomes king. The final boss is Destroyer Charadrius, fought after Louis's Archdemon form according to Gamer Guides.
⚔️ Boss Guides
Sogne the Icebound
About this fight
GameLeap lists Sogne the Icebound as the boss of the opening quest, Save the Prince from Death's Curse, with a Fire weakness. This page does not describe its attack pattern because no loaded source documents it.
Zorba
About this fight
GameLeap lists Zorba under the main quest Necromancer Takedown with no elemental weakness. Wikipedia says Zorba is slain in the palace near the end of the story. A later, stronger version, Melancholia Zorba, appears in Skybound Avatar Conquest and is listed as weak to Light and Fire.
Homo Avades
About this fight
GameLeap lists Homo Avades under the main quest Thwart Zorba's Plan with no listed weakness. Other sources conflict on its body-part weaknesses, so this page makes no claim about them.
Louis Guiabern
About this fight
GameLeap lists Louis under the main quest Eliminate Virga Island's Threat with no weakness. Per Wikipedia, Louis is apparently killed by Will at this point in the story but survives. He is the final antagonist and is destroyed in the finale after transforming into a human.
Destroyer Charadrius (Final Boss)
About this fight
Gamer Guides calls Destroyer Charadrius the true final boss, fought after Louis's Archdemon form. In phase 1 you destroy three targets, the Mask of Mirth, the Mask of Ire and the Mask of Joy; in phase 2 it becomes a single-target form, and your status carries over from phase 1. The Mask of Ire takes less physical damage (use magic), the Mask of Joy takes less magic damage (use physical) and the Mask of Mirth takes slightly less from both. Phase 2 has no resistances or weaknesses.
Attacks and tips (per Gamer Guides)
Great Reset deals heavy Almighty damage to the whole party and may inflict Anxiety. New Dawn's Sacrifice places a puppet in a mask's mouth; destroy it promptly or a powerful attack follows (Joy uses magic, Ire uses physical, Mirth heals the masks or debuffs the party). It also removes buffs and debuffs with Dekaja and Dekunda. In phase 2, A Tribe Condemned erases a race and KOs that party member on its next turn. Gamer Guides recommends curing Anxiety quickly, keeping HP full at the end of each round and, if you skipped the Tyrant's Star minibosses, expecting extra Turn Icons and skills for the boss; defeating them unlocks the Star Shatterer trophy.
