Tutorial Terry: A Price to Pay and the Scripted Battle

You cannot beat Tutorial Terry by reducing his HP. The hostile dialogue starts a scripted loss, used for A Price to Pay, rather than a normal boss challenge.

Start the badge encounter

The Demo 5 reference gives the hostile option as YOU GOTTA DIE. Older videos show How about I kill you. Let the scripted battle resolve if you are pursuing A Price to Pay.

Why damage and status tricks fail

Terry does not die at 0 HP, and the scripted battle cancels status effects. Penguin Missile deals 1,000 piercing, unguardable damage to the party. Do not spend resources trying to turn this into a conventional win.

Continue the actual tutorial

For normal progression, follow Terry’s chapter instructions. This optional hostile branch is separate from learning the starter cards and reaching the first story enemies.
