Bozzetto Pilferer

Bozzetto Pilferer

Face off against the Bozzetto Pilferer and its allies. The main gimmick of the fight is Steal Essence, an ability that dispels Song, Roll, Indi-Geomancy and Avatar's Favor effects while healing the boss to full and leveling it up. Parties must avoid these powerful AOE buffs while still capping accuracy and attack speed on an evasive foe that likes to steal everything it can from you.

Encountered Foes

  • Bozzetto Pilferer - a THF with access to multiple SP abilities.
  • Bozzetto Mine - summoned periodically by the Pilferer throughout the fight.
  • Bozzetto Scoundrel - THF assistants to the Pilferer. Appear to gain a strong Regain effect as the fight progresses.

The fight ends when all foes are defeated.
