Drake's Tail
Clive and his allies infiltrate the Dominion of Sanbreque to reach Drake's Tail, the Mothercrystal situated within the holy empire's capital. Clive must fight his way through the city streets and palace grounds against Imperial soldiers and Thralls to confront Bahamut's Dominant. The mission culminates in an assault to shatter the Mothercrystal's core while facing Prince Dion Lesage.
Enemies
A recurring elite Sanbrequois foe that utilizes jumping thrust attacks and aerial dives that must be dodged with precise timing.
A magical floating demon encountered in the ruins of Twinside that casts various elemental barrage spells.
A heavy-armored Sanbrequois soldier wielding an oversized axe and shield, capable of launching sweeping knock-down attacks.
An aerial Eikon boss encounter involving multiple phases, demanding heavy use of evasive aerial maneuvers and stagger-punishing abilities.
Tips
- Equip abilities with reliable gap-closers or strong ranged options, such as Phoenix Shift, to quickly punish floating and agile enemies like Necrophobes and Dragoons.
- Save high-stagger Eikonic abilities like Gouge or Aerial Blast to melt the stagger gauge of Imperial minibosses before they trigger hyper-armor attacks.
