Minions

So Betta starts the fight with 3 minion, as you take them out, others will take their place. They spawn in a specific "order". Meaning killing the Succubuss will always spawn the Sleazy Devil and so on

• Aggresive Brute. Will spawn after killing Betta.
• Hell Nephil
  • Smug Fiend
    • Cadaverous Cultist
• Razor-Sharp Succubus
  • Sleazy Devil
    • Cromulent Cultist
• Guardian Bane
  • Helldrangea
    • Obnoxious Imp

Strategy

The strategy for this boss depends heavily on your party setup and the overall strength of your party. You'll always want to start the fight with killing of Betta as fast as possible, since she has a lot of nasty spells and healing, but after that you need to choose in which order you want to kill off the minions.

If you brought a caster-party with AoE-damage, you'll want to focus your single-target damage on the Guardian Bane, since he gets stronger when he takes more damage, and the Aggresive Brute since he can reflect your spells back at you. If your party is able to focus damage on one target at the time, you can ignore both the Brute and the Bane almost entirely.

Since all the enemy packs of the dungeon are very diverse, I felt like focusing down one at a time worked best, for which you can use Raina and Hero. If you struggle with damage, you can fall back to using "Demon Slayer Charm" which drops from the imps packs in the daily dungeons or can be bought for 10 Heart Tokens in the love shop in Northmarket town house. While it won't do much against the cultists, it will be a massive impact on all the demons. For good single target damage, you can also bring either Therese who offers radiant damage and off-healing with Shining Strike or Gargan who can be used to stun lower-priority targets like the Guardian Bane without damaging him. To add more diversity, you can also add Meline for more radiant damage and fire damage, or Yeon once you taught her a few spells like Smoldering Ash, Strobe Edge or Slime Wave.

In a single-target route, you want to kill the enemies after Betta from left to right for the easiest handling. The Hell Nephil can daze your party with radiant spells or burn mana with lightning damage, so taking her out fast will lower the overall damage you're going to take. Once the Smug Fiend spawns, he should be taken down next as he deals the most AoE damage of the remaining enemies. So does the Cadavarous Cultist who spawns next, so kill him next.

After that, there are only three enemies at the same time left. Notice that you'll have to deal with the Succubus while you take out the first three. If you find that her possession-ability causes too much trouble, you can kill her after you took out the Hell Nephil. A better way would be to just stun her with Gargan or similar. Once the three heavy hitters are down, focus on Succubus next. She will spawn the Sleazy Devil who will get more powerful the longer he lives, so kill him quickly. The last spawn is the Cromulent Cultist. He can stun and knockdown your party members, so he's potentially more dangerous than the Brute or the Bane still and should be killed next.

Now, only two enemies remain. The Brute and the Bane only deal physical damage and therefore can be ignored, especially if your brought Hero, Raina, Gargan or Therese who wear heavy armour. Out of the two, killing the Brute is best since he doesn't spawn another enemy and you'll only have one left to deal with at a time.

Once you kill the Bane, a Helldrangea will spawn. With no buddies to heal, you can take it down very easily. Bring some fire damage so it won't heal up as much between turns. This leaves the Obnoxious Imp left as last, who isn't much of threat on its own either.

Special mechanics of Bell
At the end of every 5th turn she will get inflicted with perfect guard. It will block all attack going to Xaven. She is deathproof so you can't kill her. When you reduce her health to 0 she will heal and get a power-up 3 times. Any times after that she will just stay at 0 health. Using a Demon Potion on her will not only heal her back up, it will also remove the power-up she currently have plus completely drain all her Momentum at the end of the turn Power-ups: Power-up 1 Attack * 150% Magic * 150% 75% recovery rate Status resistances: Daze: 66% Blind: 66% Stun: 75% Knockdown: 75% Paralysis: 75% Power-up 2 Attack * 200% Magic * 200% 50% recovery rate Status resistances: Daze: 33% Blind: 33% Stun: 50% Knockdown: 50% Paralysis: 50% Power-up 3 Attack * 250% Magic * 250% 25% recovery rate Status resistances: Daze: Immune Blind: Immune Stun: 25% Knockdown: 25% Paralysis: 25%

Strategy

Compared to all the fights you faced before, this one is rather straightforward. Xaven is your main enemy you need to kill, while Bell can't die and will try to soak up as much damage as she can for Xaven. Since she is a Bane, she'll get more powerful the more you damage her. You can't avoid damaging her entirely, since Xaven will use Rites against you but Bell will take the damage for him and she will buff Xaven while damaging herself. She will also use Perfect Guard once you've dealt some damage to Xaven which will cause her to absorb all damage you send towards Xaven.

In order to keep Bell from simply one-shotting your party at some point, you should use the Demon Potions you gathered around the dungeon. Each one will heal a huge chunk of health of Bell's health and lower her damage output considerably. Depending on how many you have left, you should try to use one at least every third turn, using it every second turn would be safest. Other ways to keep her damage output low are using stun or knockdown against her, which will also break her Perfect Guard and allow you to kill Xaven faster. If you used Demon Slayer Charms during the dungeon, you should unequip them so in case one of your attacks is redirected to Bell, you won't deal as much damage to her at least.

Xaven is a human, so using some of the Manhunter Poisons you can find in the dungeon is a good idea. If you brought fire damage, try to keep him burned all the time once he starts using potions. If you keep Bell under control and break the Perfect Guard, Xaven won't be able to stand very long since he only has 24,000 HP. Sadly, you can't poison or bleed him reliably, so you'll have to power through his health with your attacks instead of dots, though "rocked" debuff works if you have Agart Warhorn already. Once Xaven dies, Bell will immediately stop fighting and you'll have finished one of the hardest and longest dungeons of the entire game.
