Before even trying to fight Baramos ensure all of your characters have all of their equipment upgraded to the best set of items they can get at this stage of the gamemost of which will likely be purchased in Isis. Any armor, accessories, or shields that allow your party to defend against breath attacks should also be equipped – things like the Shield of Heroes and the Armor of Radiance.

If everyone is healed and empowered, the Sage/Priest can attempt to weaken Baramos with spells like Fizzle or items like the Staff of Antimagic, which should prevent him from casting spells.

Finally, keep in mind that when Baramos reaches half HP (when his name in the battle menu turns yellow), and again when his HP is very low (when his name turns orange), he will cast Inferno. That’s it a group-wide breath attack that can devastate an unprepared player. Make sure everyone’s HP is as high as possible when Baramos reaches these milestones.
