Walkthrough

• Head to (G-7) on first map and click the Peculiar Glint for a cutscene.
• After the cutscene, you will receive a temporary key item Distress signal flare.
• Have the party leader click the Peculiar Glint again to choose the option "Into the Beast's Maw."
• After winning against the Count and Orcs, you will receive yet another cut scene.

Fight

You will enter Ghoyu's Reverie.

• You have 30 minutes to complete this mission.
• EXP is not lost upon death.
• Buffs wear upon entry.
• If your whole party wipes and exits the battlefield, your Reraise will wear, and you will have to obtain a new Distress signal flare from the Ornate Block right next to you.
• You may have to wait until the next game day to receive a new Distress signal flare.
• This fight is against 2 Orcish Manglers, 2 Orcish Muscles and Count Bifrons.
  • This section of Ghoyu's Reverie is very small. You cannot kite and you will most likely get hit by every -ga from Count Bifrons.
  • Count Bifrons and the Orcs also have a very short aggro range, making it possible to Tractor and Raise in the event of a wipe.
• The Orcish Manglers and Orcish Muscles are susceptible to sleep but awaken if Firaga III is not stunned.
  • If you intend to open the fight with Sleepga, please note that it is not possible to hit all 5 NMs with Sleepga by targeting the Count. It is safer to have two mages Sleepga the helpers by each targeting a different Orcish Muscle.
• Count Bifrons is a Black Mage, able to cast Firaga III, Sleepga II, and Bindga.
  • Is resistant, possibly immune to Gravity, Sleep, Silence, and Paralyze.
  • Stun from Black Mage or Dark Knight is more effective than Head Butt.
  • He casts Sleepga II often, making Poison Potions or similar effects important.
  • Has typical Black Mage AI and will not move into melee range until he loses enough HP.
  • Firaga III will wake the orcs if he successfully casts it. Stunning the spell prevents this.
  • Uses an AoE move called Hellborn Yawp, which deals magic damage, dispels one buff, and inflicts Blind.
    • Hellborn Yawp is a 10 radius AOE dmg TP move.
    • Deals ~450-600 damage to melee, and 700~800 to mages.
    • Invincible does not absorb this attack.
    • Difficult to Stun this move, as it is very fast.
• Defeating Count Bifrons causes the other enemies to die instantly.
