While fans of monster-collecting games will undoubtedly feel at home with Monster Sanctuary, this game brings its own spin to the genre, like a charming pixel art world where you can get lost in for hours.

There are up to 111 monsters for you to find and tame in this game, each one with different weaknesses, roles, moves, etc. So building the perfect team will take some trial and error. However, you must figure out what works best for you before attempting to take out the more challenging enemies in the game, like the Alchemists.

Who Are The Alchemists?

The Alchemists are Monster Sanctuary's main antagonists. As such, it's your mission as the hero of this story to stop them before they bring any harm to the Old World.

There are seven members of the Alchemists, and you will meet them while exploring the sanctuary. However, this guide focuses on how to beat only one of them, Zosimos, the Water Alchemist.

Where To Find Zosimos

You will encounter Zosimos for the first time at the very top of the Sun Palace. To reach that area, you need to lower the aqueduct's water level to raise the tower section by section.

After finding Zosimos, he will challenge the player to a Keeper Duel.

Strategy To Defeat Zosimos

Considering this game's extensive customization when it comes to team composition, it's very tricky to point down the ultimate monster team that will work against Zosimos.

When choosing your lineup, keep in mind that Zosimos has three monsters that are weak against magic and three that are weak against wind, so you want a team that focuses on those types of damages. Moreover, you should bring any monster that can remove debuff, as Zosimos' strategy focuses heavily on using them.

Finally, don't forget to feed your monster some food to give them semi-permanent boosts.

If you don't know where to start, go for shielders, debuffers, and offensive Monsters. You could also bring a healer in case things go south.

How To Out Level Zosimos

Sometimes you have been stuck on a boss for a long time that all you want is a little bit of extra help. If that's your case, you will be happy to know there's a way to out-level Zosimos, so his duel is way easier.

Out leveling Zosimos is relatively easy as this Alchemist's monster levels are locked. This means that, after dueling and losing to him for the first time, you can take your time and check out other areas, gearing up and leveling your monsters before trying to duel him again.
