- Strategy
This battle is quite rough, even at level 22 and above, since the Time Being knows Frizzle and Boom and uses them frequently. A Priest should be on standby at all times.
The bigger threats are his side winder sidekicks because they can throw the sands of time and replay the battle from the top, so take them out first. Once they are down, attackers will be free to hack away at him. Maribel should also Sap twice to soften him up.
While keeping everyone's HP above 70-80 will be challenging because his attacks hit hard, the devil will fall, dropping a Yellow Fragment.
After the battle, smash the giant sandglass to get the Sands of Time and end Groundhog Day for good.
