BOSS - Obstructicus

  • Stats / Weaknesses: Approximately 2,050 HP, high defense. Weak to Sap.

  1. After defeating Obstructicus, use Evac to leave the Rainbow Mines and return to the Roamer Encampment.
  2. Speak to Rom Baro to receive an Yggdrasil Dew.
  3. The Roamer Encampment (Night) area will be unlocked.
