It stands as a no brainer that equipping Fayt's Ice Blade battle skill here will show everyone who's boss. At the first junction go East, you'll quickly come to another at which you should head up. At the top is a chest containing a Damask Gauntlet. Go back down to the second fork and head East, follow this path all the way around until you reach a large bunny state. Examine it. After go around behind it and examine the back, you'll find the Rabbit Ears Key. Return to the first room and take the West path from the fork this time. Keep going West past the road leading North to find a chest at the end containing Cooking Ingredients. Go back and head up that North path you just passed. **Note: There are two paths West of the first junction leading North, you want to take the one that is furthest West. Go up a bit and on your left behind some rocks is a chest containing Blackberries. Go North and unlock the door with the key, then enter. When you reach your destination talk to the bunny to trigger an event. You'll have these options:
Time to backtrack all the way to the Airyglyph Aqueducts, luckily with the dragon guy waiting on the mountain path it's not as big a trip as it seems. Return to Airyglyph and enter the Aqueducts at the Southwest of town. When you enter go right to the North and get rid of that ice. Right past it is the Glowstone. Time to return back to the little workshop in the Urssa Lava Cave, Return to the room just before the Urssa Lava Cave and save your game. Head North, at the first fork, go a little bit West but immediately continue North. Keep going until you reach a lava monster, just South of him is a thin path with a chest containing Crafting Materials. Stay on the path until you reach a dead end, now use you Ring of Disintegration. Enter the door and watch the scene. Boss:
Boss Strategy: This is the first serious battle of the game, this guy is absolutely mammoth. One weakness he does have though is a low Hp total, despite his size he is far from a devastating overpowering enemy. You'll need to use all your best combos here, and hopefully you won't have too much trouble, because if you do you won't stand a chance for what's next. Defeat Crosell within one minute: 300% cancel bonuses will make this possible, since he has many elemental strengths have Fayt equipped with Side Kick numerous times and combo it until he drops. You'll have little time for healing here so form your only defense with your best offense. Defeat Crosell without taking damage: For this I'd recommend not even planning to win the next battle. Just take it easy and stay as far away from possible, supporting with healing items. He has less than 30,000 Hp so you won't need to hang out for too long. After the fight, a quick conversation. Boss:
Boss Strategy: This is where it gets really hard, he has more than double the Hp and no problems pounding out hits that deal more than half your max health. Cancel bonuses are made almost impossible to keep up without being stomped on, and every few seconds he'll fly into the air flapping his wings absolutely devastating the Mp of you entire party. Your best chance is a continuous steady attack getting damage in wherever possible and just basically focus on keeping everyone alive. Be sure to have lots of Mp healing items, you'll need them. Watch the scene following the battle. |
