The step to winning any boss fight is learning the enemy’s attack patterns. Once the fight begins, the Gear-Xernes will use various attacks from its arsenal. So, you will need to stay alert and focused at all times. Be very careful! Do not try to rush the fight. Wait for the boss’s attack sequence to be over, and only then strike. This will ensure that you don’t accidentally get hit by being overaggressive.

In addition to that, one particular attack that you will need to look out for is Gear-Xernes’ spinning beam move. It has quite a range and covers a large area when triggered. So, whenever you notice the boss trying to execute this attack, run towards the edge of the arena. This will give you a better chance of dodging the beams since the gaps between each one will be bigger.

Now, it is time to discuss your offense a little. Dodging the numerous attacks the Gear-Xernes throws at you can be a difficult task. If you are constantly struggling with it, then you can try going for a Charge Attack of your own, since, during this time, your character will become invincible. This is a great way to avoid getting damaged in the boss fight. However, it may prove to be risky for some.

Follow these instructions carefully, and keep chipping away at the boss’s health until it hits zero. Once it does, the Gear-Xernes in Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time will be defeated, and you will win.
