  3. 3
    Befriend Pom: Pom is hungry. You need to give him Aromatic Jerky.

    Return to Pom at night with the Aromatic Jerky to befriend him.

Tips
  • Recommended party members: Characters with Ice and Darkness abilities (Osvald, Scholar sub-job), and healers (Temenos, Cleric). Castti and Throné are also useful.
  • During the Tera boss fight, keep party members' HP above 1200. Lowering Tera's attack (Thief) or using party buffs (Apothecary/Castti) is advised.
  • Tera hardens its shell over time, reducing weaknesses.
  • Tera can randomly remove party members for 4-5 turns. Breaking Tera (shield points never past 6) can help them return faster.
  • Avoid attacking when Tera uses "Coiling Lava" to prevent self-damage; use buffs and magic instead.
  • Ochette's "Cleaving Blow" heals her during the fight.
  • Save BP for heavy hitters like Ochette or Osvald.
  • Energizing Pomegranate (M)
  • Knight's Greatbow
  • Protective Bracelet
  • Fire Amulet
  • (Implied completion of Ochette's Chapter 2)
