Tellus Summary
Tellus bends the rule of the fight and tests every hero who challenges him; he punishes those who strike back by not following the rules, countering hard against those who do not listen. Each time the rules change, your party has to adapt, picking the right type of attack during the phase.
Will the party adapt to the situation, or will they be punished for not paying any attention?

How to Beat Tellus
[1] Use Wind Elemental Attacks
Use Jake during this boss fight because Jake has both Wind physical and magical damage! Everytime Tellus switches the rule of the fight, Jake can switch to whichever attack type fits!
Jake's flexibility means that his turns are consistent no matter the rules of the fight!
[2] Equip The Sylph's Tiara
Sylph's Tiara is an essential item during this boss fight; it imbues non-elemental physical attacks with Wind element! So during the Show me magnificent martial skill!, when only physical attacks are allowed, the Tiara will allow you to deal extra damage because of Tellus weakness to Wind!
[3] Equip Physical Resistance or Chance to Evade Physical Items
Most of Tellus's attacks are non-elemental physical attacks; only Stonega is elemental. Equipping armors and items such as Mythril Armor, Ninja Gear, Shadow Step Garb and etc.
Equipping those items will make the fight more manageable, reducing the incoming damage, and your party will spend more time on the offense instead of healing during their turn!
[4] Equip Ring of Retaliation on Rain
Ring of Retaliation allows the wearer to counter-attack if hit with a physical attack! This ring synergizes with Rain's Provoke.
Provoke draws the enemies' attention to Rain, and most of Tellus's attacks are physical; most of the time, Rain will trigger the passive of the ring and deal damage!
[5] Don't use Magic Attack during Show Me Magnificent Martial Skill!
During this phase only Physical Attacks are allowed; using magic attacks will cause Tellus to counterattack the party member that damages him with a magic attack! Stick to physical attacks until the phase ends, and no matter what, don't use magic, as his counter-attacks deal a lot of damage!
[6] Don't use Physical Attack during Show Me Majestic Magic!
This time Magic Attacks are only allowed; using physical attacks will cause Tellus to counterattack the party member that damages him with physical attacks! Stick with magic attacks until he changes it back to Show me magnificent martial skill!.
