From Holograd, head east and cross the wall, then go under the waterfall to the north (pictures1-2). Once in the dungeon, go northeast and then west; at the intersection, take the path to the north (picture3).

Continue in this direction until you reach the Save Point, then take the only accessible path to the exit (pictures4-5). Outside, go up the hill and enter the ruins of Musa (picture6).

Here, enter the main building and go down the stairs, then visit the 4 rooms of the dungeon to rehabilitate all the Crystals (pictures7-8).

Wind Room

Start by heading east and then turn west at the intersection (picture9). Then continue northwest until you reach the end of the room, from there head northeast to reach the Save Point and the Boss (pictures10-11).

Boss – Asura

Weaknesses: Fire + Wind + Sword + Bow

To defeat this opponent, you should have a Red Mage so that you can deal a lot of fire or wind damage, otherwise you can also rely on the “Demon Slayer” skill of the Ranger. Also consider using a Pictomancer to regularly reduce the physical attack power of the boss and a Shieldmaster to take most of the damage (picture12).

picture12

Fire Room

At the entrance of this room, use the portal on your left and progress until you reach a new intersection (pictures13-14). At this point, use the portal on the right to reach the Save Point and the Boss (picture15).

picture15

Boss – Catoblepas

Weaknesses: Lightning + Axe + Spear

To win this fight, activate a Black Mage to exploit the Boss’s weakness toward lightning, use a Shieldmaster to tank his attacks, and a Pictomancer to constantly reduce his physical attack. For the rest, you can also use the Ranger’s “Beast Slayer” skill to inflict heavy damage on him every turn (picture16).

picture16

Earth Room

From the entrance to this room, head east and then north, then continue west to reach an intersection (picture17). Here, go east and then north to reach the end of the dungeon (pictures18-19).

picture17
picture18
picture19

Follow the path to the west to reach the Save Point and the Boss of the Earth Room (pictures20-21).

picture20
picture21

Boss – Immortal

Weaknesses: Earth + Light + Axe + Staff

For this fight, have two high-level Vanguards with axes, activate a Pictomancer and a Shieldmaster. While the Vanguards will be dealing heavy physical damage to the creature, protect the team with the Shieldmaster and reduce the Boss’s physical power with the Pictomancer (picture22).

picture22

Water Room

First, go down the steps to the east and take the corridor to the north (pictures23-24). Under the footbridge, turn northwest and then northeast (picture25).

picture24
picture25

At the next intersection, head northwest again and climb the stairs (picture26). From here, head east and then down the steps a little further (picture27). From here, head northwest to find more stairs (picture28).

picture28

Now you just have to go down the stairs to the northeast and follow the path to finally reach the Save Point (pictures29-30).

picture29
picture30

Boss – Genbu

Weaknesses: Water + Dagger + Spear

To defeat this opponent, activate a Black Mage and a Pictomancer, you can also choose a Shieldmaster and a Ranger. During the fight, use the “Purify” technique of the Pictomancer to disable Genbu’s “Mirror” spell and then cast “Blizzaga” spells to inflict heavy damage. For the rest, protect the team with the Shieldmaster and use the ” Aquatic Slayer” skill of the Ranger (picture31).

picture31

Final Room

Once the 4 Crystals are rehabilitated, go through the big door and talk to your companions one last time, then save your game before moving on to the next phase (pictures32-33).

picture32
picture33

Boss – Edna

Weaknesses: Lightning + Light + Spear + Bow

To defeat Edna, you’ll want to have accessories that boost resistance to Wind and to the “Slow” ailment. Opt for classes that have Light spells (like the Spiritmaster or the Bastion) and activate a Shieldmaster with wind resistant gear so that he can withstand most of the Boss’s spells. For the rest, the fight will be mainly a matter of endurance, as Edna is able to inflict a lot of damage to the whole team without having too many overpowered skills (picture34).

picture34

The “Bad Ending”

After your fight against Edna, your adventure ends and you see the credits (picture35). You will then be asked to save your game before returning to the menu (picture36). At this point, load the last autosave to watch a new cutscene worthy of a Shyamalan movie (picture37).

picture35

picture37

At the end of this cutscene, talk to Gloria and refuse to go any further, then go the other way and leave the room to go to the next chapter of your adventure (pictures38-39).
