  • Shadow Futaba: The boss battle within this Palace is a sificant confrontation with a manifestation of Futaba's own fears and self-doubt. Defeating her requires understanding her emotional state and using the right strategies.
  • Will Seeds: As with other Palaces, Futaba's Tomb contains Will Seeds that, when collected, can be used to craft powerful accessories.
  • Treasure Demon: Keep an eye out for the Treasure Demon unique to this Palace, which can offer valuable rewards.
