Tips
  • In the Fridging Caves, the Gagnrath Spritnite replenishes MP when enemies are killed, useful for abilities like Blowbeat.
  • For the Aurorean Tiger boss, use the party Endir, Nidr, and Aeterna. Aeterna should have Protect and status ailment Techs. Endir needs Wall, Aura, and Shock. Nidr can use Provoke and Counter.
  • Aeterna's Protect is crucial for survivability against the Aurorean Tiger.
  • Endir's Aura is your primary healing source; manage his turns carefully.
  • The combo Phantasm Break (Dream Shatterer and Aerial Strike) from Aeterna and Nidr can lower the boss's attack.
  • Be cautious of the exploding Puff-Puff enemies in Fridging Heights; wait for them to be at a distance before defeating them.
  • Avoid fighting the Spritnite-Eaten monster Southpaw in the Fridging Caves if possible.
  • In Fridging Heights, the eastern path from the initial split is a dead end.
  • At the crossroad in Fridging Heights, north continues the dungeon, south leads to a shortcut, and east has a locked chest.
  • Magilock Dagger
  • Battlefield Memories Talisman
  • Stop command Spritnite
  • Alchemian Blade
  • Cabin x2
  • World Tree Staff
  • Ancient Beast Eye Talisman
