Disturbance in Vetira

When you’re ready, ride Fedorah at the Haevelion Port east of the Council Room to travel to Vetira.
Explore Vetira
Head west to trigger a cutscene.
Find Pisces Temple in the Swamps
Exit Vetira on the west side to reach the swamps. Keep working your way through the Swamps to reach the temple. In the second area of the Swamp, you can find a chest with an Evalach shield for Ulan and another with 3 Stat Orbs. The third area contains a chest with a Meryan Robe and area 4 has a chest with a Koeia and another with a Circlet. When you reach the temple, a cutscene triggers.
Investigate Anun’s Statue
Approach the statue to trigger another dialog event leading to a boss battle with Anun, The Pisces Astrae. You’ll want to make sure someone has the Confuse Guard Ring (preferably Eko who should also know Clear) as Anun uses a move called Rolling Mine that confuses the whole party. This makes the fight tougher as you party with attack each other or even heal Anun. He also uses Omni-water which can also deal water damage to the active part. The boss is also weak to Lightning element attacks and susceptible to being poisoned. When the boss goes down, a cutscene triggers and you’ll gain the ability to summon Piscus in battle.
Explore Pisces Temple
Work your way through the temple heading for the final room at the temple to the far west. Around the middle, you’ll run into a Motherfana mini-boss fight where she’ll be accompanied by a handful of Mizufana. Deal with the adds then focus on the boss. When all of the adds have been defeated, she will start storing focus points to summon more. She will also heal the adds and uses water-based attacks. The easiest (albeit slowest) way to defeat her was to summon the Pisces. It absorbs water elemental attacks so you’ll be getting healed by the boss and her minions while focusing on the boss. Once the Motherfana has been taken care of, mop up the rest of the enemies. While you’re exploring, keep an eye for chests containing an Ancient Artifact, Water Ore x3, Cebes weapon for Alassia and Wizard Hat.
At the end of the temple, you’ll have to fight a Noise mimicking Anun. For the 1st phase, it will have the same attacks. The 2nd phase starts after you reduce its health to zero the first time. It will then transform into a school of fish and gain a new move called Fish Rain that hits the active party and has a chance to confuse. When you defeat the boss, exit the temple to trigger a cutscene leading to the end of the chapter.
