Boss Fights:
- Longsword Praetor (HP: 8614) - Person
Drops: Twin Blade Ignicite
Strategy: The Praetor has two Power Links that boost its abilities. Quickly defeat the lesser foes, focusing on their category and elemental weaknesses. - Guardian (HP: 14836) - Fiend, Armored
Drops: Seer's Glacite
Strategy: The Guardian is resistant to non-elemental attacks and has no elemental weakness. Focus on its Armored category weakness. Use Velvet's Mega Sonic Thrust for power hits to stun. Avoid its Frenzy and Wall Crush attacks, which can also stun. Attack from the side or back. Manage souls and use Mystic Artes (ultimate attacks performed by holding L2 during a combo, consuming 3 BG for a soul) effectively, as the boss is slow and debuffs allies.
