This is a list of all optional bosses you can fight in Crushing Cavern. These bosses are not required and can be skipped if you desire to.
The walls on the opposing sides of the battlefield will close in on the party at the start of Giant Sapling's turn, forcing a loss at the start of its 6th turn. Exploit its weakness to Fire damage to end the fight quickly, and use Maelle's Breaking Rules when it raises its shields.
The walls will not move if the Giant Sapling is stunned. If the party's damage is lacking, fill the break gauge and use skills such as Maelle's Fleuret Fury to trigger a Break, stunning the Giant Sapling.
