• Operate the Pedestal of the Dawn to return to the Ward of Velitation, then head east.

2. Summon the Save Crystal in Ward of Revelation.

• Head inside the secret path to find the rare monster Matriarch Bomb.

• As you arrive with the first Pedestal of the Dawn, take the west walkway, then go through the door.
• Trek the west passageway.
• Turn the Stone Brave and make it face east. This will cause the Stone Brave’s eyes to illuminate.
• The second Stone Brave lies inside the Walk of Reason. Operate the one in the corner and turn it until it faces north.
• To reach the site of the third Stone Brave, you must enter the Ward of steel. This pits you against the sub-boss Vinuskar.

5. Vinuskar Boss Battle.

• Vinuskar loves to assault with physical attacks. Be sure to have Smelling Salts to ward off its Confuse status. If you shave its HP to 50%, it will begin using Swords Dance. Remove any ailments and be sure to keep each member’s HP above 50%.

• Enter the room at the back and operate the third Stone Brave, turning it west. Before you exit, examine the urn for a map of the area.

• Save your progress in Walk of Revelation, then return to the place with the Sword of Judgement and go through the door.

7. Mateus Boss Battle.

• Mateus is quite tricky since it casts Reflect which reflects magic. Mateus summons ice creatures during battle. It is safer to defeat them as soon as they are summoned. Make sure to have Quickening to take out the mob. Mateus also has Blizzaja, which deals a whopping 800 damage. Watch your HP and make sure to always have more than 800 to guarantee survival.
