• Phantasm: HP 340, MP 230, Attack 108, Defence 198, Agility 74, EXP 1,060, Gold 32. Abilities: Attack, Calls for Back-up, Paralysis Attack, Spooky Aura. Spells: Bang.

• Drop: Recovery Ring (from Dying Fire).

Strategy:

• This battle can be challenging, especially before learning 'Hit All' spells like 'Boom'.
• Both enemy types can 'Call for Back-up', making group-hitting attacks less effective if enemies aren't grouped.
• Strategy 1: Prioritize defeating all Phantasms first. Then, focus on the Dying Fires, aiming to group them together for powerful 'Hit Group' attacks. Defeat the grouped Dying Fires in a single round to prevent reinforcements.
• Strategy 2: Damage all enemies until they are near death. On your final turn, attempt to defeat all monsters simultaneously to avoid reinforcements.
• Any ability that can 'Hit All' enemies is highly recommended.

• You will receive the Green Orb for defeating the enemies.
• You will also be awarded the achievement Playing with the Dead for defeating the Dying Fires.

Notes:

• There are a total of six Orbs to collect, which are necessary to reach Baramos' Lair.
• Once collected, bring all the Orbs to the frozen island of Rimland in the southwest part of the world.
