Complete Jevil Guide (Chapter 1)

I can do anything!

How to Find Jevil

Jevil is the hidden boss of Chapter 1. To challenge him, you must first find three scattered key fragments and combine them into a single key.

Locations of the Three Key Fragments

Key Fragment A

After speaking with Jevil, go to Seam, the shopkeeper. Talk to him and choose the dialogue option about the 'strange prisoner,' and he will give you Key Fragment A.

Key Fragment B

Head to the Forest area. South of the second circle of dancing paper figures, there's a hidden path where the 'stars don't shine.' Follow it to the end to find a chest with Key Fragment B.

Key Fragment C

In the Field area, find the puzzle in the bottom-right corner (you need to change the three shapes to spades). Enter the nearby room and input the code in the order of Spade, Heart, Diamond, Club to open the chest containing Key Fragment C.

Crafting the Key & Facing Jevil

With all three fragments, go to the smith, Malius, who will craft the complete Prison Key for you. Now, return to the bottom floor of Card Castle (via the elevator), open the cell door, and you can challenge Jevil.

Battle Strategy

Jevil's fight has both a Pacifist (Act) and a Violent (Fight) route. Your choice depends on your playstyle. Either way, make sure you have plenty of healing items.

Key Attack Patterns (GIFs)

Carousel

One of his most iconic attacks. Ducks will fly in from the sides of the screen in a rotating pattern. Stay in the lower-middle part of the screen and make small vertical movements to dodge.

Spade Bullets

A barrage of spade bullets will fire from all directions. This phase requires concentration and precise micro-movements to navigate through the gaps in the bullet patterns.

Heart Bombs

Hearts will appear on the screen and explode into a ring of bullets after a short time. Move away from the hearts before they detonate and be prepared to dodge the spreading bullets.

Pacifist Route (Hypnosis)

This is the more challenging route. You need to repeatedly use Ralsei's Hypnosis command (costs 50% TP) to tire Jevil out. Meanwhile, Kris can use the Pirouette command for random buffs (like team healing or defense up), and Susie can use Defend to build TP.

On the ninth turn, Jevil will become tired. Continue using Hypnosis to successfully pacify him. You'll be rewarded with the Jevilstail armor.

Violent Route (Fight)

The violent route is more straightforward. Kris and Susie attack, while Ralsei heals. Manage your TP and items carefully. Jevil's final attacks are frantic, so be prepared.

Upon defeating him, you will receive the Devilsknife weapon.

Final Chaos

In the final phase of the fight, regardless of the route, Jevil will unleash his 'Final Chaos' attack. Giant scythes will rain down from the sky, dealing massive damage. This is your last chance to deal damage and the most dangerous phase.
