[Game] Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster - Four Job Fiest 2025: Shinryu Boss Battle - KGT/RED/BRD/CHM - Video

Showcasing the battle against Shinryu, the second secret super-boss in Final Fantasy V, for my Four Job Fiesta Run 2025 run (regular). The version I'm using is the FFV Pixel Remaster.

Bartz - Red Mage
Lenna - Chemist
Faris - Knight
Krile - Bard

Shinryu can be a tough challenge, but it's not impossible to defeat. Ever since I began doing the Four Job Fiesta in 2023, I found Shinryu to be a bit more manageable than Omega. Here's the strategy that I used to take it down:

-Make sure that the whole party is equipped with Coral Rings: Shinryu will always open the battle with Tidal Wave, which will wipe the party out with Water damage. Coral Ring absorbs Water and nullifies Fire
-Shinryu absorbs Holy damage, so don't equip the Knight with Excalibur (in my case, I gave Faris the Defender)
-Despite its impressive range of resistances, Shinryu is vulnerable both to Blind and Berserk
-When the battle starts, have a Chemist or any character with the Mix ability use Dark Gas [Eye Drops + Dark Matter] on Shinryu to blind it. It could take some tries since it could miss the target, so if you can't blind Shinryu in the first turn, reload the game and try again
-Once Shinryu has been blinded, have the Chemist throw Bacchus's Cider [Holy Water + Turtle Shell] on it to inflict Berserk. Now not only Shinryu can't use its devastating group attacks any longer , but it can't properly hit the party with melee attacks
-Use Blessed Kiss [Maiden's Kiss + Holy Water] on your main attacker to grant them with Berserk, Haste and Image, and keep attacking Shinryu until it dies. If you want to speed things up, you can also use Dragon Power [Dragon Fang + Hi-Potion] to raise the attacker's level by 20 and increase their damage output
-Even when blinded, Shinryu has still some chances to one-shot your party members, so keep them ready with healing items to revive anyone who might get killed

By following these instructions, Shinryu shouldn't be a problem.
