Tips
  • When fighting the Auroral Serpent, ensure your healer is constantly healing due to the boss's heavy group-based attacks and status effects.
  • Jade should use Re-Vamp twice before Multithrust.
  • The Hero should use Unbridled Blade, boosted with Oomphle if possible.
  • Hendrick should provide support with Kabuff and healing spells.
  • Sylvando can remove Paralysis with Tingle.
  • Sap the Auroral Serpent to increase damage from Unbridled Blade and Multithrust.
  • When building Serena, focus on making her an offensive spellcaster. Learn Enchanting Echo to cast two spells per turn without extra MP, and Grace of the Goddess to revive her from defeat.
  • When exploring the skies with Cetacea, remember you cannot land anywhere; it is a means to reach new areas.
  • Quest 42 - A Dish Served Cold: Metal Slime Armor
  • Obtaining the Calamus Flute grants access to the skies and the achievement
