How To Beat Omega In Fantasian Neo Dimension

Every boss fight is something special in Fantasian Neo Dimension. You rarely encounter a boss that doesn’t have some unique gimmick to it that makes it memorable. Even in Act 2, when you’re fighting the same bosses again, they still feel fresh.

Just like his son, Fantasian’s Bernard loves laying down traps. Here’s how to complete the Hidden Valley and beat its bosses.

Omega though, they’re one of the most special. They are massive, and feature permanent fixtures within the arena that make them an even tougher challenge. Except even reaching Omega is a challenge itself, so let’s get you to them and claiming that treasure.

Starting The Omega Quest

Most quests in Fantasian unlock with story progression, or are unlocked as prerequisites of other quests. The Omega quest works a little differently as it requires you saving quite a few robots to unlock it.

After finding eight of the ten total robots, they inform you of a secret treasure buried beneath the Thaumatech Factory. ‘Omega’ is the passcode, and it can be accessed from the factory rooftop. So let’s go ahead and find this treasure.

Navigating The Thaumatech Factory Depths

Warp to the Thaumatech Rooftop, and then go right behind the elevator. This will trigger a small cutscene, and show you the door to the Depths, which is otherwise quite hard to make out. After this little scene, you head into the Depths, where a rather long and convoluted process begins.

There are no treasures in this section of the Depths, and no boss until the very end. Instead, you have to progress back and forth through three areas continually activating the arms to pick up crates so that you can finally reach the boss.

Here’s the order in which you should go:

• From the Save Point, head straight ahead to activate the console at the end.
• Head back to the Save Point and go right, moving forward with the mechanical hand you just activated.
• From here, head to the central platform and then go south. This will bring you to another console.
• Head back to the centre platform and enter into the next area on the right.

This will bring you to the area Depths – 2nd Belt. Let’s continue our console hunt:

• Starting from the north-east corner, head down the path and to the right until you reach the large platform. Activate the console.
• Next, head back to the entrance of this area and progress to the platform in the north-west, activating the console here.
• Head back to the east, and then go south to reach the arm you activated. Take it across to the large platform.
• Follow this path to the west to enter into the next area.

Now we’re in the Top Secret Storage area. This is also where the boss is located, though we’re not quite finished yet.

We’re locked to a single platform here, so simply activate it and then return to the 2nd Belt.

• Back on the 2nd Belt, follow the path north-east and then turn left to take a box over to another platform.
• Follow this path around until you are near the large platform in the north-west, taking the small south turn before it.
• This arm will bring you to the isolated strip. Follow this path into the Top Secret Storage.
• Follow the path around, activating both consoles along the way.

We must now make our way back to the 1st Belt. There’s not much of a puzzle to this, just trek backwards until you’ve come back through the entrance that originally brought you to the 2nd Belt.

• From the north-east corner, head to the central platform and proceed through the exit. This will bring you to the 2nd Belt. Follow this path around to return to the 1st Belt on the other side.
• At the end of this path will be a mechanical arm that will bring you across to the next platform. Activate the console here.

From here, the final mechanical arm to reach the boss is active. Head back to the 2nd Belt, and take the arm that brings you to the isolated strip to enter the Top Secret Storage area once again. Just walk ahead to be carried across, and make sure to save.

There are a series of chests here, all locked with Machine Keys. These can be farmed in the Wormhole, if you are so inclined. Here’s what’s inside, in counter-clockwise formation:

• Onyx XL
• Pearl XL
• Diamond XL
• SP Capsule x2
• Opal XL

The Diamond XL will be especially helpful in the upcoming boss battle, followed by the Pearl XL, so prioritise getting these ones.

Battling Omega

Party Set-Up

There’s no treasure, but there sure is a boss! Omega is one of the more challenging bosses in the game by merit of its extra mechanics. Prickle is mandatory for this battle, though they’re quite helpful all the same for their healing and Lightning attacks. Leo also has Lightning abilities, making him essential for this battle.

For our third member, we’ll mainly be making use of Ez. It can be helpful to set up Cheryl or Tan with buffs such as Charge, Concentrate, etc, to swap in when the boss is low on HP, though otherwise you want to focus on the former three almost exclusively.

Here are the core skills you’ll want for this fight:

• Leo – Samidare Lightning +2
• Prickle – Barrier All, Plasma, Heal All
• Ez – Quick All, All Potion L, All Potion +

Omega hits hard, and primarily with Holy damage. As such, equip as many Diamonds as you can on your party. Put Diamond XLs on the two weakest members, and a Diamond L on the strongest to give everyone a high amount of defense. For the second Jewel, we would recommend a Ruby or Emerald.

How To Defeat Omega

Omega feels akin to a superboss in many ways, utilizing mechanics that no other boss in the game has had, and punishing every mistake with nigh on instant death. That said, they become much more manageable once you figure out their pattern.

The boss itself is in the centre, while they have two devices to the left and right of them. These are weak to Lightning damage, and increase the strength of all of Omega’s moves while they are active. They work in stages though, going from fully powered, to weakened, to depleted.

They also correspond to each hand. The device on the left empowers Omega’s left-handed moves, and the one on the right for its right-handed moves. Omega always attacks with physical attacks with its left hand (from your perspective), and Holy with the right. None of the attacks are weak, but the Holy attacks deal obscene damage even with Diamonds, so focus on destroying this device first.

This is Omega’s structure for the most part, though they also count down after each attack. Once they hit zero, they activate Overboost. This fully restores both energy devices, and gives you a few turns to destroy them both. After it turns to Omega’s turn once again, they will attack with both arms in a single turn, the attacks dependent on how damaged the energy devices are.

• With the right device at full or half strength, Omega will attack with Sacrament Omega or Sacrament Lambda respectively, attacking the whole party. Fully depleted, they cast Sacrament, dealing Holy Damage to a single party member.
• With the left device at full or half-strength, Omega will attack with Ultra Swing, attacking the whole party. Fully depleted, they will attack with just Ultra Punch on a single character.

During this phase, it is essential to have Quick All applied to the party so they can get as many turns as possible. If you have it, Bounce Field can be very helpful to cast around one of the Energy Devices, giving Prickle’s Plasma attack much more damage-dealing potential. This Overboost phase is also where Tension skills are best used.

And that’s the whole flow. Omega doesn’t gain any new moves as the fight goes on, though they will start to use moves like Thaumatech Laser more frequently, which hits the whole party while lowering their defence. On top of healing, Ez’s buffs like Quick All are essential for how often the party gets debuffed.

After Omega is finally defeated, you are rewarded with the Positron Blaster for Prickle.
