Forgotten Battlefield – Ancient Bridge
As soon as you start crossing the Ancient Bridge, a cutscene will trigger, leading to a boss fight against Dulliste.
Boss Fight – Dulliste Phase I
Dulliste will attack primarily with its sword and is weak to light-based attacks. It will start with a four-hit combo targeting one of your party members. Be prepared to jump to dodge one of the strikes.
It also has a combo attack that will hit a single party member with a five-strike combo, and when it attacks swiftly, expect a three-strike combo. The other thing to watch out for is when it attacks the Expedition. It will hit all party members with a strike from the ground.
Once you’ve defeated it, the Nevron will summon a second sword, beginning phase II.
Boss Fight – Dulliste Phase 2
In phase II, the Dulliste will use the same attacks, but they hit harder and have more strikes to them. When it attacks swiftly, be prepared to dodge/parry six strikes while jumping to avoid 2 of them. It will also use a new Stormblood attack where it will attack you with three copies of itself before launching the fourth strike.
Dulliste can also inflict the inverted status on you, which makes it so that healing will damage you instead. Also, when it attacks the Expedition, the party will be hit twice now instead of once.
After you defeat the Nevron, you’ll receive the Dualiso weapon for Verso and the Combo Attack I Pictos, which adds an extra hit to the base attack.
Colour of Lumina
With the broken bridge to your back, you’ll see a ledge with some railing in front of you. Climb up there and follow the walkway left to find this lumina.
Revive Tint Energy Pictos
Follow the main path until it splits, then take the right one. When you pass the rock, look to the left to see the pictos.
