Boss - Dreadmaster
The Dreadmaster uses physical attacks or Crackle (an ice spell that hits all characters) for about 40 damage. It may also use Double Trouble, which is similar to its physical attack, or Zammle, which deals about 45 damage to one character. It can Psyche Up itself (sometimes twice in a row) to deal about 100 damage to a single character.
After defeating the Dreadmaster, you will obtain the seventh and final [FYGG]. The Headmaster will congratulate you and give you more money. You can now leave the Academy and return to the tree that transports you to Observatory, located near Alltrades Abbey. If you return to the Academy, you will see a scene where the real investigator is being thrown out by guards.
Inside the Starflight, talk to Stella and choose to depart for Observatory. During the ensuing scene, hand over the fyggs to Aquila. A battle against him will commence. Attack him a few times to end the battle. After another scene, you will find yourself in Wormwood Creek.
- The Dreadmaster battle is a straightforward fight; focus on attacking and healing when your HP is low.
- The battle against Aquila is very short and requires only a few attacks.
