Kina is one of the very first characters you recruit inFantasian Neo Dimension, and her identity is core to her growth as a character. When it eventually comes out that she is the daughter of royalty, she struggles to find comfort in who, really, her family is.
That’s where the Kina and Owen quest comes in. Hoping to find guidance, she seeks out the wisdom of the Ribbidons. But like everything in Act 2, that requires a lot of effort, a difficult boss fight, and more than a few unusual mechanics. Let’s get Kina the answers she needs.
How To Start The Kina And Owen Quest
For Kina to be able to tell Owen how she feels about her newly-discovered lineage, she needs to be in the party. As such, you’ll need tocomplete the Through The Wormhole quest firstwhich has you saving both Kina and Cheryl.
If you speak with both Owen and Sebastian before rescuing Kina and Cheryl respectively,they will each have a unique jewel to offer you.
Once Kina has been saved, speaking with her back in Valrika’s Laboratory will have her giving you the Kina and Owen Quest.This is a level 44 quest, so verify you’ve gotten all the levels you need first before getting started.
Finding The Ribbidons
After getting scared on how to break the news to Owen, she asks Leo tohelp her find the Ribbidonsshe knew in the Southern Forest in her youth. Unable to remember anything but the song they sang, she recites it, which Cheryl coincidentally also knows. She has a music box with the full song, and asks to visit the palace to collect it.
There’s not much to see and do here, though you can finda chest behind the folding screenwith an Elixir.
After you’ve picked it up, you’re able to head on over to the Southern Forest. Warp right to Kina’s house and head towards the Mecha Infestation. After journeying through here enough, a Ribbidon will be seen running past. Follow it deeper into the Southern Forestuntil you enter a brand-new area.
Save and heal up at the Save Point. You won’t be immediately thrown into the boss fight, and will have a chance tochat with the rather philosophical Ribbidonsfirst. After speaking with the central Ribbidon, a scene will play that ends with the most esteemed of the Ribbidons appearing, Ribbidon Rex.
Of course, wisdom is gained through action, they state, andpull you into battle once you start talking withthem. This is your last chance to get healed, set up, and save the game. How kind of them to give you that time.
Battling Ribbidon Rex
All of Ribbidon Rex’s Questions
Ribbidon rex is a rather powerful boss, though somewhat unique for everyone. Wanting to test Kina’s resolve,they ask a series of questionsthroughout the battle that influence how they fight. The questions you’re asked aren’t always guaranteed either, and can happen in random order sometimes, so there’s no definitive strategy.
That said, we’ve compiledevery question that we’ve seen them askto help guide you towards a fight that you feel more comfortable with. Here they are:
What is the best weapon against a formidable foe?
What is the primary rule of combat?
Offense is the best defense/Defense is the best offense.
Raises his attack and lowers your defense/ Raises his defense and lowers your attack
Which do you prefer?
An acorn/a rock.
Tosses acorns that grant regen to the party/ Summons rocks that protect the boss.
Which should follow an attack?
Which is to be feared more?
Shall we take a break?
Your party and the boss heal 5000HP each/ Nothing happens.
Which do you treasure?
My strength alone/My bond with others.
The boss increases their attack and defence/The boss summons smaller Ribbidons to assist them.
Which pair do you desire least?
Mist and Curse/Poison and Seal.
Casts Mist/Poison on the whole party on the next turn, and then Seal/Curse on a random member the following turn.
I’m getting sleepy. How about a breather?
Yes/No
Puts a party member to sleep and then heals them for 5000HP/ Restores 5000HP for themself.
Who are you?
Vibran royalty/Owen’s daughter.
Kina decides this one for herself.
As you can see, there are quite a lot of variations there. It reallylets you customise the fight to your own preference. After they have asked the final question of Kina, they will come back with 15,000 HP but no longer ask questions, making it a more straightforward battle.
For the Acorn and a Rock, you will not gain the Regen effectif you have a Barrier active.
How To Beat Ribbidon Rex
Kina must fight for the answers she’s looking for, as that is the only way she can really get an honest one, according to the Ribbidon Rex. With all the questions they ask,the fight can go any way you want, though they won’t make it easy.
There’s no guaranteed to way to play this fight, thoughKina must always be in the party. Leo is helpful to have throughout the fight for the high attack power he has. Ez is great to pop in every now and then for his buffing, though it’s worth swapping inValrika for Arrow Rain, as it can deal quite a high amount of damage.
Ribbidon Rex takes lower damage from physical attacks, so it’sworth using elemental attackswhere possible.
The boss is still quite powerful regardless of the choices you make, soKina’s healing skills are greatly appreciated here. A particularly powerful move the boss can use is calledSlap Combowhere they slap a single character upwards of ten times, which will most likely defeat anyone but Zinikr.
With the awareness of the questions they ask, you canput the relevant jewels on to defend against those ailments, making it that much easier to manage. Provided you keep your defences boosted and healing consistent, beating this first phase shouldn’t be too difficult.
After the boss asks their question to Kina,they will return with 15,000 HP, and will no longer ask questions. They also come with a few smaller Ribbidons to protect them and shards of rock orbiting around them that blocks ill-timed attacks. So for this phase, we recommend a rather specific strategy.
Get a character like Cheryl or Tan, anduse their Tension skill. In the case of Cheryl, use aDouble Charge and Attack Upbefore using her Tension Skill. For Tan, useDesperation, Mystery Potion and Attack Upbefore using his Tension skill. With these boosts, the boss can be easily defeated in a single hit, and you don’t even have to worry about avoiding the rocks.
The boss has an obscenely powerful move in this phase where theydrop an entire cruise ship on the partythat can easily wipe them if they’re not at full HP with boosted defences. So best to defeat them before they get the chance to use that move.
With Ribbidon Rex satisfied with Kina’s strength, they say that she has the answer she needs now, and to go about her own life now. Returning to Owen, Cheryl breaks the news to him, and that she is still happy to call herself his daughter.Her family has only grown, not changed. Maybe Ribbidon Rex really did grant her wisdom.
