Tips
  • Warning: Do not approach the large sarcophagus in the Chamber, or it will rise up.
  • If you have not attempted the Enemy Ambush in the Archives Room, do it now! Once you defeat Alma, the Enemy Ambush in the Archives Room is forfeited.

Boss Battle: Alma

Alma has multiple pink fireballs, flying pillars, a kamikaze dive, and a snatch and grab attack. She also has melee attacks. You'll need to be constantly moving to avoid her projectile attacks. Anytime she gets close, jump away or she will grab you.

The main strategy is to avoid all her attacks and then use a Flying Swallow attack on her. If you miss, quickly jump away to avoid her retaliating attack. Keep attempting to use a Flying Swallow. When Alma gets hit by the Flying Swallow, she will fall down and be vulnerable for a few seconds. Immediately perform a Blade Of Nirrti attack on her to decrease her health, then quickly jump away. Repeat this strategy.

Chapter 10: Tairon Under Alert

Objective #1: Go to the Military Gate

Objective #2: Go to the Ritual Room (Optional)

When the Chapter begins, go back into the Monastery and look for Rachel's War Hammer at the back of the Altar Hall. Take the weapon and then exit back outside.

Use the Save Point outside the Monastery and SAVE your game! Go to Muramasa's Statue nearby and replenish any items you need. From here, you can continue the mission or attempt another Enemy Ambush.

Enemy Ambush: Ritual Room

This challenge can be done at any time after the Alma battle, but it's best to do it in Chapter 10 for a higher end chapter ranking. Go back to the Ritual Room (where you found the Holy Grail) and prepare to face off against a bunch of Zombies.

Area: Monastery Plaza

As you enter the Monastery Plaza, the gates will close and armored soldiers will appear from the balconies. Use downward strikes and lots of (Ultimate Techniques) to clear this area. When the gates open, make your way back to Drawbridge Square. Eliminate more soldiers in your way to get there. Watch out for the Tomahawk Chopper on the stairs; it'll drop bombs on you.

Area: Drawbridge Square

Pull the lever to lower the drawbridge and reveal more armored soldiers and armored cars. Equip the Incendiary Shurikens and start tossing them at armored soldiers. Eliminate the soldiers and RPG soldiers with some well-timed (Ultimate Techniques). Go to the Save Point at the bottom of the stairs and SAVE your game.

Area: Moat Road

Continue through the zigzag tunnel and eliminate more soldiers using Incendiary Shurikens and Flying Swallows. As you head down Moat Road, the Tomahawk Chopper will stop by again to drop more bombs. Jump out of the way and continue down the alleyway back to the Bronze Lilly Door.
