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.

Any Warriors not resistant to Fire will have to worry about repeated CREMATE attacks. Groups of CHIMERAS can be quite dangerous as a result. ICE3 is your best magical offense.

Chimeras are dangerous creatures that are quite good at chipping away at your party's HP. Their normal attack is not terrible dangerous, but with four hits they often break through with decent damage against non-Knights. Their Blaze attack doesn't do incredible damage, but in groups it can add up quickly. It's not a bad idea to put up NulFire when you meet multiple Chimeras. They can be taken out quickly with solid physical attacks, but magic is not very effective. Even Ice magic is iffy due to their high HP.

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.
