This battle is similar to two of your previous fights – the one against Orthros during Hunt 35: Crime and Punishment and the fight against White Mousse during Hunt 06: Lost in the Pudding. All the enemies are flans which make them difficult to take down with regular attacks so focus on using Magick attacks instead. Use Fire-based Magicks to defeat them the fastest.

Stolen:

• Uncommon: Wyrmfire Shot
• Rare: Defender

Treasure Chests:

• Aero
• Soldier’s Cap

This battle is similar to the battle against Cúchulainn in the Garamsythe Waterway when you defeat him to obtain him as an optional Esper. The most difficult aspect of the fight is dealing with the automatic HP drain effect that is cast on all of your party members. Have your team members ready to cast a ton of healing spells and be ready to over-heal (using spells such as Curaga, Curaja and Renew when required).

Cúchulainn can use an attack called “Impure,” which inflicts the Disable and Immobilize status effect. Use Ribbons, Black Belts and casts of Esuna to prevent this.

Stolen:

• Common:Cameo Belt
• Uncommon: Indigo Belt
• Rare: Hermes Sandals

Treasure Chests:

• Souleater
• Heavy Coat

This battle is similar to the one against the Antlion that you face during Hunt 38: Antlion Infestation. It can potentially inflict the Disable status effect on your party members so use Black Belts, Ribbon and casts of Esuna Magick to prevent this. Also note that Antlion will use Cannibalize on the Killer Mantis enemies around it in order to regain health so you should focus on defeating the Killer Mantis enemies first.

Stolen from Antlion:

• Rare: Dragon Shield

Treasure Chests:

• Chanter’s Djellaba
• Magoroku

This battle is similar to the battle against Hashmal at the top of the Pharos of Ridorana. You do not have to defeat the two Reaver enemies but the battle is easier if you defeat them first.
