Boss - Corvus
- Reward: 28500 Exp. Points
- Drops: Nothing
Strategy: Corvus attacks twice per turn. He frequently uses Psyche Up, sometimes twice in a row, which can amplify his attacks. Defend with weaker characters when he Psyches Up. His regular attack deals about 40 damage. His lightning attack hits all characters for similar damage (more if he Psyched Up). He can perform a sky drop for about 100 damage to one character, and Kaswoosh hits all party members for 100-150 damage depending on tension. Sometimes he laughs, wasting a turn. The fight is manageable by predicting tension attacks and defending. Multiheal is essential. Use Slash abilities and play cautiously.
After the battle, exit the palace and go north to examine the red orb.
