    Still Shrine of Mariam Boss, and Ancient Sword gone! =O Please Help!

    The boss with all of the Elementals following him around is really getting on my last nerve. Help would really be appriciated .

    Ashe is at Level 30
    Baltheir just reached 30 thismorning
    Fran is at Level 30
    Basche is at Level 30
    Penelo is at Level 25 >>;
    and, Vann is sadly at Level 23 ><

    Iv'e got a few Ice Sheilds on hand, but I accidenlty sold Ashe's Ancient Sword. I wanted to see how good she would be with a Loxy Bow in combat and was selling stuff, so.. the sword is gone, is there any way I could buy her another one?
    Also I need to find a way to get Teleporting stones.

    The thing I found really annoying was that Mateus insists on casting Sleep every 10 seconds. Equip a bunch of Nishijin Belts on everyone and just use physical attacks. I casted Fira a couple of times to get rid of the elementals.

    I used a massive quickening chain, 16hit one, and it did over 30000HP damage :3

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Key items can't be sold. You probably don't need it anymore, then.

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but I think the Ice Azers are Immune to Fire Elemental attacks.

    Ice Elementals and Ice Azers are immune to Fire...So yeah, that person was lying/mistaken

    Maybe they used Thundara? As that does 2x Damage.

    Your levels are more than good enough. I won with my three main characters at level 27. Other than that, follow everyone else's advice. Equip Nishijin belts if you have them (I didn't and I was okay), spam thundara and try to nail a quickening chain when Mateus is down to a quarter/third of its health.

    As for teleport stones, my advice is to hunt marks. They're often given as rewards, and also they'll be avaliable to buy in the clan shop in the bazaar once you go up a rank or two.

    Well, wtf? Fira worked when I fought them. Maybe my characters are just that awesome.

    Looking at this on the frontsite, I thought it said Stillshrine of Marick.

    Flametounges if they are available. If not use some technicks. And if your clan level is high enough, you can buy teleport stones. Alternatively, you can fight until you get some in the Sandsea (the area, not the bar).

    Spam cura and hit Mateus loads, ignore the ice azers. Then quickening when its low on HP, that'll do.

    I don't remember Mateus being particularly hard. Threw a remedy at it to cast whatever status effects it was weak against on it, cleared up the Ice Azer things and then attacked for a while and then used Belias, and once he was done, finished it with a quickening. Ark Blast ftw :D
