Struggling to beat Simon in Expedition 33? You're not alone. This boss fight is a real test of your skills and preparation. But don't worry, with the right strategy, you can take him down.

To beat Simon, you need to deal a massive amount of damage in a single hit, around 10-12 million, to prevent him from wiping out your party. This means focusing your build on maximizing your damage output and using a character that can deliver a powerful single blow.

How to Beat Simon

Before you even think about starting the fight, make sure your characters are at least level 90 and your main weapons are upgraded to level 33. This is the bare minimum to stand a chance. I learned this the hard way, I went in at level 85 and got absolutely wrecked in the first phase. It was a humbling experience, but it taught me the importance of being properly prepared.

Once you're leveled up, it's time to focus on your party composition. You'll want to bring characters that can mark Simon, increasing the damage he takes. Sciel is a great choice for this. Then, you'll need a heavy hitter, someone who can deal that one-hit knockout blow.

Here's a breakdown of the strategy:

• Phase 1: In the first phase, focus on parrying Simon's attacks. This will be your main way of dealing damage and staying alive.

It made a huge difference.
• Phase 2: When Simon's health gets to around 30-40%, he'll unleash a devastating attack that will wipe out your entire party. This is where the one-hit strategy comes in. Before he gets to this point, you need to have your heavy hitter ready to unleash their most powerful attack.
• Gear and Abilities: Equip gear and abilities that boost your attack power and critical hit damage. Anything that helps you deal more damage in a single hit is a must-have. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to see what works best for you.

Beating Simon is all about preparation and execution. It might take you a few tries, but don't give up. With the right setup and a little bit of practice, you'll be able to take him down and continue your journey in Expedition 33.
