Guide to completing the 'Skirmish with the Sea's Finest' side quest in Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Learn strategies for defeating dragons and enemy units.
Hey there! Ready for a bit of a sparring match? Hydropolis wants to practice their battle skills with Evermore, and you're going to be right in the middle of it. This side quest, 'Skirmish with the Sea's Finest,' kicks off in Chapter 6 after you've completed quest 053. You'll need to head to Leucippes’ Labyrinth, the same place you tangled with a boss during the main story. Look for a soldier near the entrance to get started.
This skirmish is rated for level 24 and is a bit of a marathon, kind of like that mock battle against Goldpaw. When you first enter the arena, you'll see a hammer and sword unit right in front of you. Your first job is to take them out quickly so you can move through the gate into the next area.
Once you're through, make sure to destroy and then rebuild the command post. Trust me, that little boost in military might will really help you out down the line. In the next section, focus on taking out the magic units. After they're dealt with, you can push on to the next part of the arena.
Get ready, because straight ahead is a dragon! These guys are tough, so keep an eye on their attacks. The most frustrating one is when it takes to the sky, lets out a roar, and then bombards the ground with meteors. You'll see target indicators, but those meteors fall fast, so you'll need to be quick on your feet to dodge them.
Try to lure the dragon towards the east side of the arena. Once it's positioned, use your best skills to bring it down. After that, move on to the nearby units. Be super careful here, because new enemies will pop up, including another dragon! Just like before, do your best to take it out. Keep pushing north, then head northeast to clear out any remaining enemies. Remember, those enemy command posts will keep spitting out units, so your best bet is to destroy them and claim them as your own.
Once everything on the east side is handled, head through the gate to the west for your final showdown. This last challenge pits you against the skirmish's leader, which includes two lance units and two archers. On top of that, there's another dragon and an enemy command post that will keep spawning hammer units. It's a lot to handle at once, and even with a Shock Tactic and all your buffs active, it's easy to get overwhelmed. If things start looking too hairy, don't be afraid to retreat and regroup. Sometimes, letting some enemies chase you can help thin the herd, allowing you to pick them off one by one. You'll complete the quest once you've defeated all the enemies.
