3 things to understand first

  1. In the first fight, reduce Trees of Vanity to 1 HP with your Sinners, then let Dongrang defeat them. Aim to him through from all 4 trees.
  2. Defeat Farmwatch's Trees of Desires early. Surviving trees strengthen his and damage, while can reduce your available actions.
  3. Save that can beat area attacks rolling up to 23 and 27. Allocate damage around the HP boundaries where events halt further HP loss.

GUIDEKeys to the fight

Turn numbers indicate a typical sequence. HP loss and Stagger can change the order, so also check the names of the skills the enemy is using.

Find a response based on how you lost

You cannot finish Trees of Vanity at 1 HP
This is intended in the first fight. After your Sinners reduce a tree to 1 HP, let Dongrang's attack hit it to cause self-damage and debuffs instead of healing him.
Leaving trees alive makes Dongrang harder to damage
Living trees grant and other buffs. Against Farmwatch, defeat the trees. In the earlier fight, weaken Trees of Vanity and let Dongrang finish them.
A Sinner is trapped in a tree and cannot act
Farmwatch's have reached 5. A Sinner who is not ed enters for 2 turns. Prevent repeated “”, “”, and “” hits on allies carrying .
HP stops decreasing partway through the fight
The first fight has form-transition HP limits; Farmwatch has events at 85% and 50% HP. Save some damage for the next stage's trees and major skills instead of spending everything that turn.

Before the 2 fights

Prepare 7 main units and resources to stop area attacks

  • Aim for Level 35 and III or higher on your main units. Prepare HP, SP, and resources within the dungeon. Pierce works well against both bosses.
  • Check that can beat maximum rolls of 23 and 27. Consider SP and predictions rather than relying only on rolling Heads.
  • This page covers 2 separate battles. Farmwatch follows the earlier Dongrang fight, so check your next battle's team and healing after defeating him.

First battle / Form 1

Protect marked targets and attack during the Stagger cycle

  • “” applies a mark for next turn [On Use]. Marked Sinners are targeted more often, receive , and take extra damage, so redirect es with faster allies.
  • “” heals and buffs Dongrang on hit. Winning the gives him next turn, so assign a main unit who can win.
  • Attack during turn 4's . At Turn End with 0 Body HP, the form changes, recovers, and is removed. Do not assume carries into the next form.

First battle / Form 2

Reduce Trees of Vanity to 1 HP before letting him defeat them

  • When 4 Trees of Vanity appear, check Dongrang's targeting lines to the trees. Arrange for Sinner attacks to reduce those trees to 1 HP before his attacks resolve.
  • Sinners cannot defeat these trees. Reaching 1 HP grants ; afterward, let Dongrang's attack hit the tree. If he defeats it before that setup, he gains healing and buffs.
  • Defeating prepared trees makes him lose HP, gain , and suffer debuffs. At 4 , you can trigger .
  • When the trees are gone, he switches to “”. Win these easier es while reducing his HP and advancing to the next form.

First battle / Form 3

Have Sinners defeat Resentful Trees first

  • Resentful Trees have 35 HP and can be defeated by Sinners. The killer recovers 5% of Max HP and gains and next turn, so assign a Sinner who needs healing or those benefits.
  • “” rolls up to 23 with 7 . Answer it with a strong , and also prevent “”'s 5 .
  • The third form damages itself with each skill use, but leaving it alone is not a safe way to win. Stop its attacks through es while finishing it.

Second battle / Farmwatch at 100–85% HP

Reduce Trees of Desires and prevent Seeds buildup

  • The fight starts with Dongrang and 4 Trees of Desires. Each tree grants and , so remove them early using area or spare actions.
  • with “”, “”, and the trees' “” to limit . Below 5, decrease by 1 at Turn End, so preventing repeated hits on vulnerable Sinners matters.
  • At 5 , an Absorbing Tree traps the Sinner for 2 turns and heals Dongrang. Avoid taking “” intentionally for its healing.

Farmwatch at 85–50% HP

Check trees after the event and stop the harvest

  • At about 85% HP (1780), HP loss stops and an event occurs. Check the added trees' number and placement, then reduce his .
  • “” rolls up to 19. Use a winning main unit or rather than forcing a weak regular skill into the .
  • Another event and action change occur at about 50% HP (1047). Avoid spending too many major attacks on Dongrang alone during a turn when HP cannot cross the boundary.

Farmwatch at 50% HP or less

Prepare for major skills and divide damage between trees and Dongrang

  • “” rolls up to 27 with 7 . Check the prediction and stop it with powerful . Tree healing and creation apply [On Use], even if you win the .
  • After using the major skill 3 times, he s next turn. Use this opening if it occurs, but there is no need to deliberately prolong a dangerous fight.
  • Trees of Desires and Absorbing Trees sustain buffs and healing while alive. Prevent , reduce the trees, then focus Pierce, Gluttony, Pride, or other effective damage on Dongrang once his falls.

NOTESUnique effects and cautions

Easy-to-miss details

  • Trees of Vanity, Resentful Trees, and Trees of Desires require different handling. Reduce Vanity to 1 HP and let the enemy finish it; have Sinners defeat Resentful Trees and Trees of Desires.
  • Farmwatch's Heads odds remain 50% even when SP falls. Distinguish handling -45 SP from changing probabilities.
  • Source descriptions differ on the tree count after Farmwatch's HP boundaries. Do not assign attacks based only on a fixed count.
  • Absorbing Trees are listed with 22 HP, but the source does not establish whether destroying one immediately releases the captive. Check the status display rather than assuming instant rescue.

Prioritized by enemy attacks. At Combat Start, gain 2 ; take +50% damage from Dongrang. The Japanese skill text also uses an alternate wording for this mark.

Check targeting lines next turn and protect the marked Sinner with faster allies.

Increases when the enemy defeats prepared Trees of Vanity. At 4, Dongrang becomes ed.

Repeat the process of reducing trees to 1 HP with Sinners first.

At Turn End, if at 5 or more, place a Sinner who is not ed into for 2 turns. If below 5, reduce the value by 1.

Prioritize preventing hits on allies who already carry .

The Sinner cannot act, and Dongrang heals 10 HP at every Turn End.

Prevent the status by assigning es to avoid buildup rather than waiting until capture occurs.

Accumulates the amount Dongrang heals the target. At 50 or more, take that much Gluttony damage and gain 5 next turn, then remove the effect.

Do not treat the enemy's healing as safe support; stop “”.

PARTYRecommended teams and preparation

What to prepare first

  • Aim for Level 35 and III or higher on your main units. Use dungeon healing points and carried-over resources to prepare for the final fights.
  • Build around Pierce and adjust to each fight's weaknesses: Gloom/Envy for the first, Gluttony/Pride for Farmwatch. Do not assume their resistances are identical.
  • Save resources for area attacks to clear trees and powerful to with major skills. If you lack area attacks, divide regular attacks to remove trees one at a time.

Tree cleanup

Use actions left after covering Dongrang's es to damage trees. Faster Sinners help arrange the required action order.

High-power Clash specialist

Stop “” and “”. Avoid spending all major skills on routine low-power attacks.

Pierce damage and healing

Focus damage once Dongrang's falls, and recover from attrition caused by , , and .

One ally can fill several roles. First choose a main fighter who can win Clashes, then assign responsibilities for dangerous attacks and special mechanics.
