Rhyoses are very similar to Chimeras, but their attacks are just powerful enough to be a serious threat to your lightly armored characters. Each hit isn't likely to do too much, but with four attacks, it adds up quickly. They alternate between the standard Chimera Blaze attack and a Poison-elemental Petrification attack that you should be able to safely ignore at this stage of the game. Don't forget your Aegis Shield!

You will face Chimeras first as a boss in the Deist Cavern. Their Blaze attack isn't terrible, but a bunch of uses at once can really ruin your day. The Demon Spear and Wing Sword are both particularly effective.

Chimeras are the most dangerous creature near Thamasa, appearing only in forests. They'll use powerful attacks and Aqua Rake in groups, and switch it up to various elemental attacks and Cyclonic when they're solo. They have no weaknesses or special defenses, so hit them hard and fast to eat through their 2,237 HP.
