Notes/Strategy

  • Quenchless Seethers yield 10~200 memories each, with an additional bonus 800 for defeating every 25. They can be easily defeated in groups with -ga III/-ja spells, various blue magic, etc. and respawn very rapidly.
  • Each time the Forsaken Byrgen spawns, a message will be displayed warning players to defeat it within 1 minute. Defeating the other forsaken elemental monsters yields various temporary bonus status effects.
    • The Byrgen will do a Mijin Gakure for approx. 150 dmg to a 119 char if it is not defeated within a minute.
  • Quenchless Cravers spawn infrequently and yield 4000 memories each (they also have far more HP than any other monsters present, and may prove somewhat challenging to fight while being attacked by many other monsters).
  • Defeating the Recollector will end the battle.
  • The target memory amount is around 10,000. All players are rewarded with one Transient Imprint, and the orb user has a chance at additionally receiving a Transient Reminiscence.
    • Imprints and reminiscences can be redeemed for a random prize from the list above at Shami.
