[edit] Summary/Tips
Here it is, the actual final boss. Jack of Blades has regenerated himself into another form - a dragon, possibly the last in Albion.
This is considered easier than the first Jack of Blades fight in the Chamber of Fate but can be frustrating if you don't know what you're doing. A good tactic is to use all the experience from The Souls of Heroes to max out strength and to use the remainder to raise the speed statistic.
[edit] Method 1
This method takes less damage from Jack's health but he will also take less from you. If you have a high range specialty or you're a good mage - keep running around the arena while hitting him in the nose with fire, lightning or even ghost swords if you must.
[edit] Method 2
This is a good technique and takes alot of health from Jack in a short period of time. If you can activate Slow Time just as he lands, it will sometimes end exactly when he takes flight again. If you have a really strong weapon like the Solus Greatsword or Avo's Tear, his health meter will go down incredibly fast.
[edit] Method 3
Multi Arrow comes in very useful here, and this is especially powerful if you have it at a high level with a legendary bow. Simply stand on one of the podium-like perches at either side of the triangle and shoot him when he lands. Avoid his fire, and when a Summoner comes, destroy it - or better yet, bait it into Jack's own fiery breath. Repeat this, occasionally stopping to use a potion or the Heal spell, until he's dead. This method requires a little patience, but it is a very safe method for defeating him.
[edit] The Aftermath
When the Hero eventually kills him, he will absorb Jack's soul into his mask and the player will be presented with a choice - wear the mask or throw it into the surrounding lava. Scythe will contact the Hero and demand that the mask be thrown it in the lava, while Jack tempts the Hero to wear the mask with promises of great power. If the player chooses to wear it Jack will take over the Hero's body, killing him in the process, but the soul of Jack of Blades will live on.
[edit] Trivia
- To resume gameplay after killing Jack of Blades you must sit through the credits. Otherwise the game will not save the fact that you have completed The Final Battle and will be loaded from before you entered The Bronze Gate.
