Boss Fight: Furycane Nihilla

This boss exhibits similar attacks to when you first encountered them as Furycane during Chapter 3, but this time, additional moves are introduced.

One of which is the move called Arrow Gale, where the boss charges and spins around the arena, indicated by a distinctive purple glow on the ground. Players can easily spot these marks and dodge them accordingly. Once it enters Overdrive Mode, it'll unleash the move called Void Ripper, where it slams its sword and creates twisters that cascade across the arena. Be wary about where it swings its sword and avoid the twisters. Another attack it performs is Soulless Storm, where it slams the ground, triggering an explosion marked by a red ring. The next ring will shrink from the edge of the arena so you will need to head back closer to Furycane Nihilla, at that point, you can attack it from there. Furycane Nihilla also performs an attack called Last Tempest, where it sends out several twisters to overwhelm you and your party. You would need to exercise caution with the amount of twisters it sends out and strategically plan the timing of your dodges. Finally, it performs the move called Sword Swings, signaled by four purple sparks around the boss. Dodge its swings by moving out of its trajectory to avoid getting damaged. Once you defeat Furycane Nihilla, you'll be rewarded with Prism Chip, Fortitude Crystal (M) x3, Glittercrystal, Blight Resistance III, and 10 MSP.

Boss Battle: Managarmr Nihilla

Managarmr Nihilla shares the same moveset with the Managarmr boss you encountered during Chapter 5, but once it enters Overdrive Mode, it will introduce a move called Frozen Stomps. In this move, Managarmr Nihilla slowly stomps around the arena, leaving circles on the ground that pop and freeze players if stepped on. Since it performs this attack quite slow, players will be able to catch up to him and attack him from the side while also dodging the white indicators.

Another move resembling Managarmr's Silver Wolf Surge involves sending out ice missiles, requiring players to dodge and break them, with streaks on the ground indicating potential freezing if lingered upon, and these streaks are indicated in red and white. Finally, Cryogenic Sphere mirrors his Glacial Desolation from his Managarmr form, where he positions himself in the center of the arena, unleashing a frozen storm covering almost its entirety. You will need to either reach the edge of the arena or hide behind smaller ice burgs. After defeating the boss, you'll be rewarded with Prism Chip, Fortitude Crystal (M) x3, Health III, and 10 MSP.

Passage to False Hopes

After defeating the boss, follow the main path ahead. On the right side, you'll find a gold chest, open it to receive Fortitude Crystal (M) x3, some rupies, and 7 MSP. Just a little further ahead from this chest is a Welkin Reflection loot and a Wee Pincer near each other.

Continue following the quest marker, take the path on the left side and you'll find a gold chest that contains Fortitude Crystal (M) x3, some rupies, and 7 MSP. Beside this chest is a Welkin Reflection loot. On the other side near the edge of the cliff, you can pick up 1 MSP.

Boss Fight: Vulkan Bolla Nihilla

Maglielle will aid you during this boss fight. Vulkan Bolla Nihilla will retain most of its moves as the Vulkan Bolla when you first fought it in Chapter 7, but this time, it'll deal blight instead of burn damage. Once it enters Overdrive Mode, keep an eye out for a move called Void Eruption, this is a move where the boss gracefully traverses the area, splashing and spreading blight in specific regions marked by a pulsating wave. Additionally, puddles will rain down during the execution of this attack.

Be wary of the move called Dark Rising, this one is reminiscent of its Auxilium counterpart in its base form. Here, the boss summons a massive ball of fire in the arena's center. To succeed, players must target the body parts connected to the mana emitting the fireball within a specified time limit. Also watch out for a move called Furious Onslaught, where the boss aggressively slams its hands recklessly into different parts of the arena. Successfully defeating Vulkan Bolla Nihilla will reward you with Prism Chip, Fortitude Crystal (M) x3, Glittercrystal, Attack Power III, and 10 MSP.

Reach the Lobby of the Stars

Now make your way to the next quest marker. Once you safely reach the other side, you'll find a chest on the right side that contains Prism Chip x4 and some rupies. On the left side, you can slay a Goldslime for additional loot.

As you head up, you'll spot a Wee Pincer on the right side, you can jump across the platform to reach the area and pick it up.

Continue following the quest marker, along the way you'll find a silver chest on the right side of the path. This chest contains Critical Hit Rate II, some rupies, and 3 MSP.

Boss Fight: Angra Mainyu

Once you reach the top of the pillar, a short cutscene will occur, afterward, you'll face off against the Angra Mainyu boss.

During the first phase of the fight, you'll have to dodge the laser projectiles that come out of the shadows floating in the air. You cannot physically damage the boss from here, and instead, you'll need to destroy a couple of Keepers that will spawn in the area. With this, you'll be able to use the wormhole to warp into a different dimension and take out the two Daevas as well as the shadows that shoot out the projectiles. After a while, you'll be transported to the original dimension, while the boss is staggered, dealing significant damage while it's vulnerable. Once it recovers, step away to avoid blight damage. Once it enters into Overdrive Mode, watch out for the move called Prelude where it stretches out multiple hands and launches beaming projectiles in all directions. For the move called Last Judgement, swiftly eliminate at least three hands in the area within the time limit to completely avoid the impending attack. Successfully doing so will stagger the boss momentarily, giving you and your party an opportunity to land a devastating attack. After defeating the first phase of the boss, you'll receive a Prism Chip and a Critical Hit Rate III.

During the second phase, Lilith and Angra Mainyu will fuse together. It'll start off with an attack where it summons multiple Ominous Form enemies in the area. Be wary of the shadow that's covering the ground. Do not step onto it to avoid getting damaged. After a while, Io will call out to everyone to get inside Rolan's barrier. Once you reach the barrier, a short cutscene will trigger. More mobs of enemies gather and tries to overwhelm Rolan's barrier, but just before it breaks apart. A blast of light hits the enemies and disintegrates away. When the crew looks up, they're surprised Zathba brought a cavalry. After the short cutscene, the boss battle continues. The boss then summons multiple Watchers in the area. Then immediately followed up by multiple different attacks at the same time. Just like before, enter a wormhole to deal physical damage to the boss. Once you stagger the boss, deal as much damage as you can. Once it enters into Overdrive Mode, it'll immediately perform a shriek that pushes away everyone in the area. The move Prelude will be executed again shortly after. Last Judgement will follow up immediately. When it does the move called Salvation, make sure to hide behind a Watcher to avoid the beams of projectile.  After successfully defeating the second phase of the boss, you'll be rewarded with Prism Chip x3, Fortitude Crystal (M) x6, Critical Damage III, and 20 MSP. A cutscene will occur where Lyria absorbs the power of Angra Mainyu. With Lilith appearing defeated, Id approaches her, urging a realization of their misdeeds. For a moment, Lilith embraces Id, but then she suddenly releases the seal on his neck, summoning Bahamut.

Id undergoes a dramatic transformation, transforming into a massive dragon, before ultimately killing her own mother before he soars into the sky and escapes. This concludes Chapter 9 and officially begins the Final Chapter: Id.
