Deadlines
- February 13 | Complete the Hollow Forest in its entirety, as you are only given this single day to rescue Marie.
Enemies
Common Hollow Forest shadow that can drop elemental recovery stones.
High-health shadow encountered in the later floors of the forest.
First phase of the boss fight; she reflects all physical attacks and casts heavy elemental spells.
Final boss of the Hollow Forest; resists or nullifies all standard elements and inflicts heavy party damage.
Tips
- Your team's SP is cut in half after every battle inside the Hollow Forest, making normal SP preservation useless.
- All equipped armor, weapons, and standard inventory items are locked away upon entering; you must rely exclusively on gear and consumables found inside chests.
- Use physical skills that cost HP for regular battles rather than elemental spells to conserve your draining SP pools.
- Open every chest you find to collect special dungeon-only accessories that restore SP each turn.
- Bring Rise's Social Link up to max beforehand, as her passive support abilities will constantly heal and restore SP regardless of dungeon restrictions.
- During the Kusumi-no-Okami fight, use the Break items or elemental Break skills found in the dungeon to remove her innate elemental resistances.
