Demiurge Boss Fight Phase One
During the first phase, you must ensure that you drain her health as much as possible. Meanwhile, you should have plenty of HP and SP recovery items with you beforehand. You will be subjected to laser beams of various kinds and projectiles that deal damage. She will also trap your party members with her wings and then unleash arrows. You can ensure that you get a lot of strikes in whenever possible and move away when you get the chance. Whenever you see the beams, make sure to dodge them or move between the beams and move back in when they are over.

For the third one, you can take Joker, Sophia as well as Zenkichi.
