	The void consumes all, and Exdeath is not excluded. What is left afterwards is a tangled four-part mass of insane demons and spirits that ~~seek~~ to destroy everything, one that stands between you and your final victory. Each of the four parts has their own abilities and weaknesses, and staying alive while taking full advantage of these weaknesses with whatever resources your jobs can muster is key to winning.

	On top of that, this part is specifically weak to paralysis effects. If you can get this part locked down with paralysis, you can safely leave it for last, as it being paralyzed locks out even the final part's murderous script. A Blue Mage with Mind Blast makes this very easy, and a whip wielding Beastmaster with the right weapon (including the aforementioned Dragon's Whisker) can also potentially shut it down. If you're really desperate, you can gamble by spam summoning Remora, although this is unlikely to hit.		On top of that, this part is specifically weak to paralysis effects.

	This part periodically lets out an emote regarding the laws of the universe, and then two turns later unleashes Grand Cross, an ability that just applies random negative status effects (up to and including instant death) to your whole party. While Grand Cross is charging, Neo Exdeath cannot use Almagest. Depending on your luck, this can be a minor annoyance, or can immediately stop your fight cold. Any gear that grants you immunity to status effects, like Ribbon or Hermes Sandals, can make Grand Cross do nothing if it rolls a resisted effect. Chemists who have mixed Life Shield (Holy Water + Phoenix Down) and Dragon's Kiss (Maiden's Kiss + Dragon Fang) on everyone will eliminate the worst of what Grand Cross can inflict.

	Weapons that do extra damage to Dragon enemies, like Dragon Lance, Apollo's Harp, or Dragon's Whisker, will cut deep into this part's health. This is important because at specific health thresholds (30000 and 15000 hit points respectively), this part's script resets, meaning you can lock it out of casting Grand Cross if you do damage fast enough.

This is important because at specific health thresholds (30000 and 15000 hit points respectively), this part's script resets, meaning you can lock it out of casting Grand Cross if you do damage fast enough. This comes with its own risks though, as once below 15k health this part starts mixing in Meteor casts and physical attacks into its rotation. If you've been able to script reset though, then rushing through the last set of health should be no problem either.

	This part likes to make Neo Exdeath vibrate with power. After a turn of shaking, it unleashes Almagest, a massive magical attack that does around 1500-1600 damage and inflicts sap to your entire party. The Shell spell can half the initial damage, and an equipped Aegis Shield can block the spell on every version save defunct mobile/Steam. On the Pixel Remaster version, equipment that grants magic evasion gives you a chance to avoid Almagest completely. While this part is winding up for Almagest, Grand Cross is put on hold.

	Because of the massive party-wide damage, dealing with ~~Almagest~~ is a very high priority. The easiest way to do this is via the art of petrification. Mystic Knights can just swing a Break spellblade to immediately do this with no trouble at all. Black Mages can try just casting Break, while Summoners can call on Catoblepas to do the same. (In the defunct mobile/Steam version, a Lamp summoned Catoblepas also can work nicely due to AOE targeting.) Certain Beastmaster releases like Mover or Orukat can also land a hit to do the same, although this is a bit more dicey.

	If you do not have access to such, you will need to burn through this part's hit points the old fashioned way, and quickly. Again, this is typically the most dangerous part of Neo Exdeath, so taking Almagest off the board as soon as possible is highly recommended.

	Weakness wise, though, this part doesn't have a lot. It can be blinded to make it miss with its swings, but overcoming its high magic evasion is a bit of a tall order. There's no real shortcut to bringing this part down, though - you just have to burn through all of its hit points. Because of this lack of quickly exploitable weaknesses, you don't want to leave it alone to be the last part.		Weakness wise, though, this part doesn't have a lot.

	As noted above, Neo Exdeath is divided into four different parts, each with their own hit point pool. All four parts must be killed to win. On older versions of the game, Neo Exdeath also has two dummy parts that do nothing, cannot be hurt, and only serve to absorb randomly targeted spells and attacks.
