How to Beat Buffet in Limbus Company
Buffet, The Crimson God, is the Canto X Part 3 finale boss in Limbus Company — a two-phase endurance fight built around stacking Pwie's Memories and surviving his staff.
The fight in one line
It is a memory-stacking endurance test, not a DPS race.
Buffet wins by attrition. Your win condition: give him 5 stacks of Pwie's Memories to trigger his weakened phase, or push him below 25% HP — the memory route is far more reliable.
Phase 1 — stack 3+ memories
- Clear the Le Rouge Senior Staff with AoE before Buffet's red memory attack resolves — living staff buff that clash.
- Win the red Le Jouissance clash with a "Shared with Pwie" holder — interception ignores Speed; use a strong E.G.O. if needed.
- Rotate Shared holders — Le Jouissance converts the previous holder's effect to Decision.
- Heal between memory clashes and preserve Meursault's Shared effect for phase 2.
Phase 2 — finish it
At 5 memories his defense drops hard — this is the kill window.
- Spam healing E.G.O. at least once per turn — Buffet stops bleeding SP here.
- Chains of Others (Meursault) is the MVP — reducing his Attack Power turns brutal clashes winnable.
- If the window is missed, he resets aggression and most teams lose the attrition war — burst now.
Teams that work
- House of Spiders — strong generalists; let units tank rather than cull with Ryoshu.
- Tremor Scorch — pairs with Thumb Capo East / Blade Lineage / Hornet Meursault.
- Heishou — still deletes him with Gluttony E.G.O. + rupture.
- The Middle — high-investment brute force that skips mechanics entirely.
FAQ
What are Pwie's Memories?
Stacks the boss gains when you win his red memory clashes — at 5 he enters his weakened phase.
Is Meursault required?
Not strictly — but Thumb Capo East or Blade Lineage Meursault with Chains of Others E.G.O. makes the fight dramatically easier.
Buffet keeps healing — what gives?
He stops draining SP in phase 2; you must kill inside the weakened window before he resets.
