Side Quest: Using Crystal Ball (Q-18)
Recommend Level: 40
This side is a follow-up after the Bernard's Laboratory quest.
- You should in Valrika Lab already. If not, teleport to "Valrika's Laboratory -> Laboratory - Hall", then talk to Zinikr.
- Next, teleport to "Hidden Valley -> Bernard's Laboratory" and walk toward the table in the middle to trigger a scene.
Teleport to "Chaos Fields -> Chaos Lakes".
Here you'll have to collect 5 "Chaos Material", 4 of them are in the side lakes (guarded by monsters), last one is in the middle where you have to fight a boss.
This boss is basically the same as the previous boss you fight except that this time there are 2 of them. At you currently (at you least you are level 42 by now), you shouldn't have a problem take this boss down.
Steal:
- (I-01) Remedy x2
Strategy:
- Focus on one serpent at a time, their single attack damage is around 1200, and it's poison damage is about 2500HP. As long as you keep healing and keep your HP above 3000 you are good.
- This boss is weak against "Slow" so you can have Valrika apply slow on them. Additionally, "Crash" and "Break" are also very helpful debuffs.
- Leo's basic combo with "Concentrate" + "Samidare (Fire+1)". Ez's "Quick All", "Attack Up All", "Defend Up All", and "All Potion L v2" will cover your basic need. Valrika's "Arrow Rain +2" also deal huge damage to the boss, and it can hit both of them.
Rewards:
- (I-02) Growth Crystal
- Enter a residence at the northwest (A).
- (I-03) Elixir: On the gray urn, bottom right.
- Leave the house, then enter Ez's house (B).
- Talk to Daragoon to activate the side quest.
- Go to the beach.
- (I-04) Mechterite: East side, on the right boat.
Missing Robot #7
You should also see another missing robot near the rock. Take him back to the base for a reward.
Reward:
- (I-05) Machine Key
Make your way northeast, then use the robe (a) to go down, move west, cross the bridge, then exit through south (C). From there, talk to the golem at the river for the fight.
Strategy:
- Just like before, this golem has 2 arms you can destroy, so I highly recommend you go for both arm first. This will prevent it from attack you twice with both arm.
- Valrika focus on debuff, "Crash", and "Break" are great against the boss. Then use "Dark" to destroy it arms ("Arrow Rain +2" cannot target its arms, unfortunately).
- Ez's can use "Quick All" to increase your turns, then focus on buffing your team.
- Leo, like usual, his combo "Concentrate" + "Samidare (Fire+1)" is best to deal damage on the golem.
- When its "Core" is opened, quickly go all in to take the Core down (I think 1 "Samidare (Fire +1)" and "Arrow Rain +2") is enough to destroy it. If successful, the boss will get stunned, and it's the best time to go full offensive.
When the golem collapse, it creates a bridge that you can cross to the other side.
IMPORTANT:
- Before you go any further, I highly recommend you go to a Save Point nearby and save your game first.
- The next boss is a bit tricky, and you can easily lose the battle.
Preparation
Recommended Party: Prickle, Ez, Valrika.
- IMPORTANT: Unlock Vacuum, Vacuum Suction+, Vacuum Effect+ for Ez (release other skills for SP if needed). Prickle should have Heal All. Vacuum skill displaces enemies and move them to the center of the Vacuum.
- Iris Quartz is also important to prevents "Berserk" from Morrigan. Equip them on Prickle and Ez, then equip Sacred Stone (prevent Berserk) on Valrika. You can equip Ruby on second slot for extra damage.
Boss: Cinderella Tri-Stars - Battle #6 (B-37) (Optional)
Their sign is ahead of where you fought the golem.
Strategy:
- Your priority is to kill Folt because he is the main thread here, he can cast various ailment such as "Curse", "Seal", and summon 8 "Ribbidon".
- Do not attack Morrigan because she'll counter-attack giving you a hard time to heal. she won't be a thread because you have Berserk nullification.
- When Folt summons Ribbidons he also deals damage randomly. Ez uses Vacuum to suck all Ribbidons near Folt and Dotty. Valrika uses "Arrow Rain +2" on both Dotty and Folt along with all Ribbidons.
- Ez helps heal and buffs the team, while Prickle helps heal and attack.
Rewards:
- (I-06) Chaos Key
- (I-07) Cinderella Badge VI
Once you defeated "Cinderella Tri-Stars", pick up 2 items on the sides of the map:
There are 3 chests all on the top level, 1 on the left, and 2 on the right. Use the robe near the staircase to climb up you'll on the left side, then you can access to the other side by hoping to the right.
- (I-10) Order Motes x2: Top level, left side.
- (I-11) Snow Quartz: Top level, right side.
- (I-12) Valiant Belt: Top level, right side.
- (I-13) Ancient Staff: Top of the hill.
Equip the "Ancient Staff" on Kina immediately.
