Quick Links
You’ve reached the top floor of theSpire of Blind Faith,and it’s time to go head-to-head with the boss of thisMetaphor: ReFantaziodungeon, Leogron. This fight can be tough - or, with the right setup, it can honestly be easier than the “regular” enemies prowling the lower floors.
We reckon you’d prefer the latter, so we’ve documented our findings as we kicked the Leogron down and stole back its Monster Notebook to complete the “Peak Curiosity” quest. Our guide includes Leogron’s moveset, its affinities, our party setup, and how we managed to drop it in a simple and clean three rounds with minimum pain along the way.
Magic Seeker or Cleric
Back
The protagonist will be onMedicaduty. (If you have something more robust, then by all means, use that instead.)
Assassin or Sniper
As an Assassin, Heismay can useIllusive Dream, which will be treated as a weakness thanks toMania Bullet. Steal aCrystal Ice Gunbai, too. If you have him as another Sniper, useMania Bulletalongside Strohl.

Single-target Slash.
Battle Strategy
This fight’s all aboutseizing upon Leogron’s dual weaknesses to Fire and Pierce. While it’s a deadly beast, you can surely clear it in relative swiftness so long as youhave a healer on-hand to consistently cast a high-level spellthat ensures everyone’s in good standing.
IfJunahis with you, herFlame Vortexspell is perfect for this point in the game. Between hernaturally high Magic stat, and itsheavy Fire damage, it will put the pain on Leogron. At 42 MP, it’s quite costly, but, well, this is your main enemy in this dungeon.
Strohlshould focus on the Sniper’sMania Bullet. It dealsconsiderable Pierce damage. It also adds a one-time weakness to Pierce (irrelevant here), as well asSlash and Strike.
Slash is the important part - if you have anAssassin,thenIllusive Dreamwill hit with Slash damage multiple times. WIthHeismay’s high Agility, plus the Assassin’s also-high Agility, you can get this hit in regularly.
ensure to steal theCrystal Ice Gunbai, a Commander Archetype weapon, if you have the Assassin with you (or you’ve inherited Steal).
Debuff Leogron’s elevated Hit and Evasionif it usesHeat Riser, since you don’t want tothrow away turn icons with misses. If that happens a few times, that’s when the damage piles on your party fast.
So long as no one on your roster isweak to Wind, evenChimera King’s Wingshouldn’t set you back so badly that you’ll have routine KOs.
Leogron coughs upquite a bit of EXPupon its defeat. We were already a bit highly-leveled - the protagonist was level 47 - and he jumped to 49 afterward!
