Volume 1: Yagudo
Face off against up to six Yagudo
 * Borzetto Conjurer (SMN) + Garuda
 * Borzetto Lyricist (BRD)
 * Borzetto Stormbringer (BLM)
 * Borzetto Sworddsman (SAM)
 * Borzetto Brawler (MNK). Appears on Difficult and higher difficulties
 * Borzetto Shinobi (NIN). Appears on Very Difficult

Everything is susceptible to sleep. The Borzetto Stormbringer primarily casts high-tier AOE Elemental magic but will also cast Silencega. While Garuda is alive, the Conjurer gains a significant boost to evasion, magic evasion and has a damage+slow spike aura. The Conjurer can only use Astral Flow if Garuda is alive. At higher difficulties, the Conjurer will use Astral Flow multiple times at fixed HP remaining thresholds. If Garuda is resummoned after the Conjurer has been dropped below multiple health thresholds to have triggered Astral Flow, Garuda may use it back-to-back. The Conjurer has access to normal Yagudo TP attacks and Dark Invocation (Darkness Damage}}), Shirahadori (AOE physical damage, Knockback + Bind) and Kamaitachi (High AOE physical damage, knockback + full Dispel). Howl + Minuet + Kamaitachi is frequently lethal, especially back to back as Protect is easily dispelled by Kamaitachi.

Where to get the Key Item: Meriphataud Mountains (S), either via Recall-Meriph or the Survival Guide.

Volume 2: Aquans
Face off against the Craklaw Carcinus and their helpers
 * Carcinus
 * Vanguard Crab
 * Calappa Calappa (courier crab type)

Carcinus's normal melee attacks are area of effect like every other Craklaw. Will periodically summon Crab adds. Carcinus has high physical defense but is vulnerable to magic damage. Has a TP move that resets aggro and binds everybody it hits in an area of effect. Vanguard Crab has very high physical defense but very low magic defense. Calappa Calappa has very low physical defense. Defeating Calappa Calappa restores MP to nearby players.

Where to get the Key Item: Rala Waterways (G-6)/(H-6), Marjami Ravine (Bivouac #2), Foret de Hennetiel (Frontier Station)
