Strategy

This section details unofficial strategies that may help with completion of the chapter. This may not work for everybody.

We will be doing Celica's route after Alm kills Nuibaba. Before setting out for Duma Tower, note that the Terrors in the Zofian graveyards will disappear and not respawn during Act 4, so now is a great time to backtrack and mop up any outstanding sidequests. In addition, don't forget to explore the basement of the Temple of Mila, collect the Mage Ring, and recruit Nomah.

For the battle itself, you get your first taste of the swamps that plague Celica's Act 4. Send the Whitewings northwest to assassinate Garcia while Saber leads the way clearing out the southwest. Dread Fighters are nearly invincible while in forests. Make sure the Dread Fighter who camps there is yours.

Echoes: Shadows of Valentia
Covered in toxic mire,
this land of death
bars all ingress. The
fetid stench of decay
permeates the air.
一面に毒の沼が広がり
訪れるものを拒む
死の大地。
周囲には鼻をつく
腐臭がただよう。
