    Engage Managarmr: weak to Water, absorbs Lightning. Use Relentless Assault if a preemptive strike isn't achieved.
  3. 3
    Fight Amphisbaena: weak to Lightning, resistant to magic, immune to Earth. Use Delta Attack or Mystic Tower paradigms until Staggered. Include a Sentinel (SEN) to mitigate 'Feeding Stoop'. Once Staggered, use an aggressive paradigm for a swift victory.

    If you chose to fight the Mark, it is located near a Treasure Sphere containing 20x Sinister Fangs.
  5. 5
    Proceed along the narrow path to the Tyrant’s Gate.
