Final Fantasy 16: Infernal Shadow Boss Guide

gameranx.com:

Immediately after fighting the Infernal Eikon in Final Fantasy 16, Clive fights the Infernal Shadow, a mirror version of himself in order to learn the truth about his brother’s death. The fight is a tough battle and is one of Final Fantasy 16‘s most memorable because the Infernal Shadow has the same move set as the player does (at least for the first phase of the fight.)

Taking on the Shadow is tricky, but not impossible and ends up equipping players with one of the most important combat abilities in the game: Limit Break.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to beat the Infernal Shadow and unlock Limit Break in Final Fantasy 16.

Like the rest of the bosses in Final Fantasy 16, beating the Infernal Shadow is relatively simple: you just have to attack them until they run out of health, but the Infernal Shadow has a diverse list of moves which makes surviving long enough to deal big damage can be a bit of a struggle. Luckily, because many of the Shadow’s moves are based on the ones that players have access to, you should be able to anticipate a lot of what’s coming before the boss even begins to attack.

Here are the full move lists for the Infernal Shadow in all three phases of the boss fight:
