Opening of the cinematic for the battle against Ambling Bellows in the Mah’habara Subterra

This is the same Ambling Bellows that you fought for Mission 10 - Hollow Hope, but this time it’s grouped up with four Hoplite enemies. The Ambling Bellows can buff up the Hoplite enemies greatly increasing the damage they do and the resistance they will put up against your attacks.

You won’t be able to trigger a preemptive strike so start off in a defensive paradigm to buff up your party and reduce the amount of incoming damage. Then move on to defeating the Ambling Bellows first. Switch to Combat Clinic if the damage gets to be too much.
