Walkthrough

This quest is started automatically after completing the previous quest, Chasing Shadows.

Note: Drawing your weapon will immediately start the battle, regardless of your distance to the target.
Your opponents in this battlefield are a Fangmonger Colossus and 6 Tombstones, all statue type mobs. At the start of the battle, you will be assisted by Excenmille and Maxcimille. Part way though the battle, Bostillette will join the fray.

  • You only need to kill Fangmonger Colossus to win.
  • Each Tombstone defeated will weaken the Colossus' damage resistance.
  • The Colossus and Tombstones use the weaponskills Seismostomp which does damage and Numbing Glare which is a conal paralysis move. They all have very slow movement speed and can be easily kited. The enemy also seems to respawn a few as the fight continues.
  • Kiting the statues while keeping the NPCs cured is a very easy way to win this battle, it has been won with three, two, and even one character in this manner.

After the battle, examine the Cavernous Maw in Batallia Downs at (H-5) for a cutscene and to receive your reward.
