Tips and Strategies

Here is a list of the tips and strategies for this chapter:

Evade Machine Golem’s Rocket Punch

Machine Golem’s Rocket Punch ability is similar to the previous mini-boss you’ve faced in Stonesplit Gap II. Just evade the target area and attack the enemy from another angle.

Avoid Black Mage’s Ice Smash Ability

Similar to Machine Golems, you also need to evade the Black Mages’ target areas and zones to avoid getting hit.

Use Power Attacks to Break the Chess Knight’s Barrier

Similar to goblins and hobgoblins, Chess Knights are tanky enemies due to their barriers. Use power attacks to break these barriers. Alternatively, you can also use Class Strikes to finish them off quickly.

Locate Lil’ Cactus #6

Before leaving Valsena, locate Lil’ Cactus #6 in the town. Head to the area northeast placed with fences and find the running plant.

All Lil’ Cactus Locations
