Tips
- Different doors are accessible depending on your entry point into an area.
- The boss door is adjacent to a save point. Activate the switch north of the save point and return to open it.
- For the FWIE boss, consider Convert Damage due to its high HP and tendency to fly. Nel's Raikouha is effective.
- Aim to maintain the bonus gauge for Triple Exp, especially for the Blair fight.
- Blazing Pendants and Anti-Freezing Amulets are useful against elemental attacks from Chimera Hawks and Ruktogias.
- The crystal puzzle on Level 3 requires precise use of the RoD. Failure results in a battle.
- The Biochimera on Level 10 is an excellent source for farming Fol.
