Defeat Yuan (16,000 HP) and Botta (12,000 HP) in Tales of Symphonia. Learn their weaknesses and strategy to proceed to The Nest of Flying Dragons.

  • Party Level: Lloyd 44, Presea 41, Raine 44, Zelos 43, Genis 43, Regal 43, Sheena 43
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Focus your attacks on Botta first, as he is considered weaker. Botta has some nasty Earth spells, but they almost never target you. Keep attacking and blocking when needed.
  2. 2
    After Botta is defeated, turn your attention to Yuan. Watch out for his Indignation spell, as it can instantly kill a party member. When you see the spell name appear at the top of the screen, do anything to get out of the target circle.
  3. 3
    Both bosses have high Attack Power, but with Raine's Nurse or Healing Circle, you can manage the damage.
