Tales of Arise is a game filled with many trials and tribulations. Most of these challenges come from bosses walking with high HP and high damage. One of the most challenging bosses in the game comes after Alphen and the gang arrive at Lenegis.
The first boss that you will face off against in Lenegis is Tormented Limbs. After a lengthy dungeon filled with Renan soldiers and dangerous Zeugels, the boss comes. To make it worse, Tormented Limbs arrives at the end of this dungeon, and if you’re unprepared, you’ll be fighting this boss repeatedly. Here are some tips to get rid of this monstrosity.
Best Party For Tormented Limbs
With around 150,000 HP, Tormented Limbs doesn’t have the highest HP compared to the other foes you’ve faced. However, its low HP is supported by the fact that Tormented Limbs deal an insane amount of damage. Some of his attacks can even instantly kill your party members.
As this is the case, bringing Shionne and Dohalim to your party is best. Have them focus more on healing your party and reviving those that fall. The other two should be Alphen and Rimwell, the main damage dealers during this fight.
Strategy For Tormented Limbs
Tormented Limbs are weak to Light and Lightning elements. Alphen only has one Arte that deals this elemental damage: Lightning Thrust—turning off all Artes without the Light and Lightning elements. In contrast, he is strong against dark elemental attacks.

Alphen’s Lightning Thrust will be one of your best assets in the game. Aside from the fact that it deals with the element that Tormented Limbs is weak to, it can easily reach the weak spot of Tormented Limbs, which is located at the top of its head. As for Rimwell, make sure that she uses only Light elemental damage.
During the fight, Tormented Limbs deals with many AoE damage attacks. Most notably, there’s an attack where it spins, damaging all those nearby. Shionne and Rimwell will be well outside this attack range. Another Tormented Limbs’ attacks that you should avoid is initiated when the boss extends its arms. This is an attack that can deal insane amounts of damage.
When you see Tormented Limbs extend its arms, summon Kisara and have her use her Boost Attack. As this is a charging attack, Tormented Limbs will be staggered upon Kisara’s Boost Attack.
Remember that Tormented Limbs will begin dealing more damage once you get its HP down into its last bar. During this phase, ensure your healing Artes and items are ready.
Tormented Limbs can be a tough fight, but this is only one of the challenges you’ll face in Tales of Arise. With this guide, it will also be easier for you to surpass this challenge.
