Scoundrel’s Hold Walkthrough

Explore Scoundrel’s Hold

After entering Scoundrel’s Hold, head north to find a ladder and climb down it. Once you reach the bottom, head east until you reach the area with two doors. Open the one on the north side of the room and head through it.

You’ll then want to go east, passing through another door. From there, follow the path counterclockwise until you reach a switch. Flip the switch to open a short but, then head north back up the path. Look on the eastern wall for a small opening you can crawl through. Do so, then use the ladder on the other side to go down.

When you reach the lower level, head through the door and then head west, passing the group of enemies on their right side. This will bring you to another doorway. Just beyond that will be the path leading to the boss’s chamber.

Boss Fight – Psyocropos

In this fight, we’ll be facing a Level 52 Psyocropos accompanied by a pair of Level 43 Hexer Goborn Ligo. The Psyocropos is weak to both pierce and wind attacks so utilize them to get extra turn icons.

Based on the intel, if both of the hexers fall, the Psyocropos will go berserk, gaining an attack boost. You can get around this by disabling the hexers by inflicting them with forget. This will prevent them from casting their spells. That will free you up to pummel the boss with wind and piercing attacks.

You can inflict forget by using an Archetype like the Faker. The Psyocropos will attack with moves like Soul Scream to get 4 extra turn icons. It can also use charge to deal extra damage along with physical attacks that target single and multiple party members.

Also, make sure to have someone steal from it. You’ll receive a Regeneration Bell that recovers a large amount of HP every turn. Once it goes down, you’ll receive the Enormous Eyeball.
