Part 25

Master Part 25 of the Chained Together walkthrough, featuring the Dream Eater boss fight, Grimoire Shard skills, and new areas.

Before heading north, you can find a doorway leading to a chest containing the [_PARALYZE HIT_] crystal. Return to the central hallway and proceed north. You'll encounter another Liquid Person who mentions the "Master" is ahead. This is a good time to SAVE your game.

Continue north to face the "Master" of this temple.

BOSS ENCOUNTER: DREAM EATER

The Dream Eater has no specific weaknesses or strengths. However, you can steal a [_SILVER BREASTPLATE_] from it using Sienna. The Dream Eater's attacks include a physical attack dealing around 35 damage and "Pitch Black Darkness." This special attack deals 25-35 damage to all party members and changes the environment. The new area might contain a Paralysis Shroom and spawns two new enemies: SPIRIT ORB and FLAME ORB. Both are weak and can be defeated in 1-2 hits. Defeating a Spirit Orb restores 100 TP to the killer, while a Flame Orb explodes, damaging everyone for 15-20 damage. Plan accordingly to utilize the TP restoration from Spirit Orbs and manage the damage from Flame Orbs.

The Dream Eater also uses "Covered in Shadow," which grants it "HP REGEN." Lenne's "Cleanse" move should be used to remove this buff whenever it appears.

This is a standard fight. Maintain high HP, and consider applying poison and bleed to the boss. A combo of Glenn's Oil Strike and Lenne's Fire Thrust can deal significant damage. Victor can provide buffs or TP Regen. Upon defeating the Dream Eater, you will receive a Grimoire Shard.

Use the Grimoire Shard to learn new skills. Prioritize utility and ensure each character learns a new skill if possible. Victor can learn healing skills.

Continue north to find a Blacksmithing Anvil with [_LIGHT ATTACK CRYSTAL x2_] on either side. This is an opportunity to upgrade your gear, weapons, and armor, and assign new crystals.

Proceed through the linear area to trigger a "Campfire Scene" where characters can interact and bond. Afterward, continue down the path to exit the cave and enter a new area.
