After you have completed all your side activities, it times for you to hunt down the Cryptids (幻獣) to move the main story. There is two Cryptids, one is located at the Boat House area of East Crossbell Highway. The other one is found in Ursula Byroad.

Boat House Cryptid

When your in the Boat House area, go to the right side of the map to trigger an event. Go past the gate and fight the Cryptid.

Plant Arm x2プラントアーム x221603 (Nightmare)50, 0, 75, 75, 105, 145, 110Prickly Seed (100%)
For this battle, is highly recommended you bring Space arts for this battle. The plants will have two arms, which will attack you at close range, while the main boss will provide a very powerful attack that can hit all of your party members. If you need healing, you should use spells such as Breath (x4, x1).to heal.Because the main boss has the ability to hit all party members, you should bring Tio to the team, as her S-Craft has the ability to nullify all attacks. When the boss HP drops about 25%, it might start casting the ultimate Space arts "Reincarnation" against you. During this moment, you should have Lloyd move near the boss and use Stun Break to prevent the boss from casting. Other party members should remain in the rear, and focus on using area spaces arts to deal maximum damage to the boss and provide additional support.

After defeating the Cryptid, examine the blue flower in the area. Then leave, the fisherman will give you a new fishing rod.

Ursula Byroad Cryptid

For the next Cryptid, go to Ursula Byroad, by the bus stop area. Then move the shallow water area, near the northeast treasure chest, an event will occur. Go inside the cave, open the treasure chest on the right to get a Fragment. Then exit out on the upper right, when your ready, touch the monster to initiate the fight.

Elon Arkエロンアーク38383 (Nightmare)125, 100, 75, 100, 110, 100, 135Move 2 (100%)
This boss actually has massive physical defense, which makes it very hard to deal significant damage with your physical attacks. The boss has only two attacks, a shockwave ability which cause all party members to be pushed back, and might also cause faint as well. As you damage it slightly, the boss will change its attack pattern and will start using a powerful skill called Thunder Blaster. This ability hits in a straight line, and cause mute and might able to one hit K.O. your party members. During this phase, the boss will repeat the shockwave and Thunder Blaster over and over again. However you can easily take advantage of this skill, if you have A-Reflect (x6), you can put a shield on yourself, and reflect the damage taken from Thunder Blaster back to the boss. This can deal enough damage to kill the boss in a few hits. I would recommend your party to cast A-Reflect, then fully heal yourself and take the damage from the shockwave and get hit by the Thunder Blaster with A-Reflect on. Repeat this pattern until the boss is dead.

When you have defeated the Cryptid, you can also find a fishing spot right behind where the boss was located. Afterwards, examine the blue flower at the upper left corner. Then select the first choice to see an event.

Then go to the Crossbell Cathedral area to see an event. Do not go inside the Cathedral yet, head to the cemetery area and speak Mucha, she will give you a copy of Sunshine Agnes #7. If you enter the Cathedral before speaking to her, this book will be lost forever.

You can also examine Guy's grave for an optional scene. When you have collected the book, go inside the Cathedral and examine the room on the right to trigger an event. Then go follow Father Elarda to his room for another event. Exit out of the church and speak to the Ries at the building to the left. Doing this will end the day, ensure you have finished everything you need to do.

This boss fight is very similar to the Neon Worms from Chapter 1. Unlike the Neon Worms, this mini boss is actually weak against some status ailments. You can actually hit them with Seal, Freeze, Petrify, Burn and even death. The main problem with these worms is that if you decided to attack them all at once, they will counterattack with a devastating earthquake attack just like Neon Worms. In Nightmare mode, this can be an instant game over, it is highly recommended taking out one target at a time, and if you plan on using Combination Crafts or S-Craft, ensure that you can wipe out the target before using it.

Nightmare Mode Preparation

If your playing on Nightmare mode from scratch, it is highly recommended for you to get the proper quartz and upgrades needed for a fight in Chapter 4. This involves saving enough money to purchase the powerful accessories from Imelda's antique store. If you are struggling to farm sepith, you can farm the Shining Poms at Ursula Byroad or fishing, as fishing can yield a lot of sepith. Some fish can even give you very strong quartz, such as catching the largest Gold Salmon (EP Cut 3).

A suggested arts you should use is Adamantine Guard, which nullify physical attacks. An easy way of using this is equipping someone with the Aegis master quartz.

If you manage to purchase the Evergreen accessory, you can also build an evasion tank, by equipping someone with all evasion boost items (Equipment with 10% dodge rate, Evade Quartz etc), you should able to make a tank with a dodge rate of 70 to 85% at this moment, allowing you to exploit some boss strategy.

This is going to be the third cryptid you will be fighting. The chimera has many different types of attacks but most of them are physical based, however, it has two attacks that can be reflected with A-Reflect (x6), Poison Breath and Diamond Dust. If you are unable to reflect magic, you should try to avoid getting hit by Diamond Dust by canceling the boss' spell casting. If you manage to farm enough materials to make an evasion tank, you can ease up your workload by having the evasion tank move to the front and tank all incoming attacks. Another method you can use is to cast Adamantine Guard for physical immunity. With the boss' massive HP, this battle will take quite a while to finish. A way of dealing massive damage to the boss is to boost your ATS to 50% and can cast strong Mirage arts.

This dungeon is a completely linear, however it is a very dark area and you can easily miss a treasure chest. Use the data above as a reference. When you see the path split ways, go to the center area first, there is a monster chest that contains the Detection quartz. With this quartz equipped, you can see treasure chest nearby in the mini map. This will very useful for players that don't have a map handy. The second monster chest contains the master quartz, Moebius. When you reach to the end of the tunnel, you will be ambushed by two Blade Cougars. Fighting the Blade Cougar, is just the same as fighting a regular mob, they are also weak against status ailments.

After clearing the Blade Cougar, exit out of the area, you will end up where the level 85 monster chest was located in the old mines. If you want easily unlock some of the DP bonus for later, it is highly recommended to clear this monster chest to get the Jupiter Bell. The battle will be insanely hard, but will this quartz, you can move immediately after casting wind arts. This is a vital piece of equipment to make Elie one of the strongest art user.

This is just like your regular monster chest with eight spiders. These spiders are weak to status ailments, if you manage to land a status ailment on them, you should be safe for this battle. Each hit from the spider has a chance of petrifying you. I would suggest having your party member move close to each other, so they can cast arts such as Adamantine Guard to have physical immunity. Tio's Zero field also work great for this situation. The main problem with fighting these spiders is how much faster than you at this point. If you can cast Calamity Claw, you should able to lower the Orgon Spider speed, giving you enough turns to act. Another method would be using the Burst function, which lets you cast magic instantly. During this moment you can spam status ailment spells such as Calamity Edge or Death Spiral (10 to 20% of instant K.O.). or other type of ailment abilities to give you an edge in battle. if you are using Noel, her sleep grenade can also work quite effectively for this battle.

When you all your preparation, heal up with the orbment station, and save your game. Exit out of the mines.

There is a bonus DP condition for this battle. If you manage to win in under 70 turns, you will get one extra DP. If you manage to get the Jupiter bell, this battle will be pathetically easy, have Lloyd use Raging Spin to pull all of the enemies together, then activate burst, and use Spark Dyne non stop. This should able to deal 3000 to 4000 damage on Nightmare depending on how your mage is setup. Spamming this non stop should let you finish this battle in under 20 turns. If you don't have those essentials. It will take a little bit longer. A thing you should do is to have Craft Guard ready (Tio's S-Craft or Adamantine Guard) in case if the boss unleash her S-Craft on you. This can be disastrous regardless of which difficulty you play. If you bring Noel in your party, her Heavy Smash can weaken the enemy STR, as all the enemies here can be debuffed. You should kill all the grunt units as fast as possible to reduce the amount of turns they consume.

Afterwards, the chapter will end.
