Visions of Mana: How to Beat Grapplavine (Boss Guide)

marks the latest release in the returning series, roping new and familiar foes into the ring like the Grapplavine. Though a returning enemy, the boss presents a formidable battle for those who've played past entries and newcomers alike. Dubbed the Weed boss, this vicious vine poses one of the greatest threats awaiting your party in Mylos Woods.

Grapplavine is a Level 22 boss wreaking havoc on the Verdeus Borough, first appearing in Chapter Four following Julei's introduction. Weeding out this thorny opponent's weaknesses is fairly intuitive, despite the apparent drawbacks of the combat system. Even so, Grapplavine doesn't keep its greatest tricks buried for long, so it's best to enter battle with the right party members at the forefront to beat it.

Visions of Mana, the first Mana game in over 15 years, finally has a release date. Here’s a look at its characters, class-changing system, and story.

Naturally, Grapplavine boasts immunity to Wood Magic and resistance to water-based attacks. To level the playing field, it's best to rely on Fire Magic and Slashing attacks, the boss' greatest weaknesses. Coupled with awareness of the main body's weakest points and its vines' movements, it's simple enough to cut Grapplavine down with effective attacks for a quick win, as seen in Trophygamers's video on Youtube.

At Level 22, it's easily overpowered by a team of any three characters between levels 23-25. While it's possible to nip the boss fight in the bud on equal footing, the task can be tough without a strategy and a stash of health-restoring Candy.
