it is easy just read the quest it helps a lot

I just took out that Ice boss w/ my characters in the 20's, low 20's (today, actually). People have told me to set someone as the main tank w/ ice shield and the shard to make the elemental damage almost nothing. I personally didn't do it that way.

As soon as the boss comes up with all it's tag-alongs I let loose with a 3 person quickening, then any tag-alongs that arn't dead at that point I beat them down then just concentrate melee attacks on the boss. I set my curaga to trigger at 40% (on every character). After the first 3 blew down the quickenings I swapped out for my other 3 characters and did the melee thing. JUST the melee thing. It was a pain in the butt because everyone was in heavy armor so it took 3x as long to do anything.

Before you go against her, if you have any light armor that still offers decent protection I'd swap for it - temporarily. You won't have any issue with action delay.

as for the fire boss, I used the same thing I did with the ice boss later on. 3 people w/ quickenings, then swap out for melee bashing. I don't recall if I was using Curga or a poop-ton of hi-pots, but melee seemed to work really well on him.

The easiest way is to kill the sprites first is to summon Addramellech at the start of the battle if you have him, if not, just slowly take down the sprites.Then take down Matues.
