Circle of Temper Walkthrough

Circle of Temper (Lower Echelon)

1	Place the Travelite onto the magic circle on the 2F of the Rosehill Tower.
2	Exit the tower on the 1F and arrive at the Lower Echelon of the Circle of Temper.
3	Follow the pin on the map to the west and enter Dragglenook.
4	Speak to Gnorbert.
5	After hearing Gnorbert's request, make your way to the Cavern of Conflagration to the north.

Avoid the Dragon near Dragglenook

Near Dragglenook's entrance is a powerful dragon that deals about 50 damage to opponents and can act up to 3 times per turn. If you've been progressing the story normally, it's highly likely that you'll be underleveled for this fight, so be careful not to get too close!

You will be able to face this dragon once your monsters reach at least LVL 20, so focus on strengthening them, then come back to take on the challenge.

Cavern of Conflagration

1	Proceed northward to the front of the Infernal Gate.
2	You will go up against your first boss, Bernie. Defeating Bernie will not only complete your objective, but will also make for easier monster scouting. ► How to Beat Bernie
3	Use Zoom to warp back to Dragglenook. Talk to Gornbert to receive the Green Travelite.
4	Grab some useful items while you're in the area. • Quick Ring (acquired only in Autumn) • Asbestos Belt (acquired after defeating the boss)

Synthesis Guide and Calculator

Circle of Temper (Lower Echelon) Arena Guide

Endor Colosseum - Category E

Recommended Level
10~11
Recommended Party
Komodo	Leery Lout	Wing Slime	Drake Slime
Main Strategy
Monsters with powerful spells and breath attacks will be useful for the second battle. Skills made for endurance like Buff, Kabuff, and Heal will work wonders for the third battle.

In the second battle, monsters with high defense such as Tortoceratops and Octopot will appear. Additionally, Octopot can cast Buff on its teammates, so it is recommended to have monsters with spells and breath attacks that ignore defense increases.

Maulosseum - Category F

Recommended Level
12
Recommended Party
Guaardvark	Hunter Mech	Healslime	Vampire Cat
Main Strategy
Reduce enemies' Accuracy. Reduce enemies' Attack.

The Hunter Mech you're going to be up against has high Attack power, and can target all of your monsters at the same time. Spells like Dazzle and Sandstorm can decrease your opponents' Accuracy, preventing them from landing hits on you.

Maulosseum - Category E

Recommended Level
12
Recommended Party
Guaardvark	Hunter Mech	Healslime	Vampire Cat
Main Strategy
Prepare skills and spells that stun opponents. Defensive spells like Buff and Kabuff wil make for better endurance.

The opponents in Category E pack a heavy punch, but are highly susceptible to being stunned. Skills like Sultry Dance and War Cry will work wonders for taking the edge off of this challenge!

Boss Battle: Bernie

Recommended Level		Family
12		Dragon Family
Recommended Party
Briny Bronco	Briny Bronco	Hunter Mech	Restless Armour
Main Strategy
Boss is weak to Water attacks. Spells like Insulate will greatly reduce damage taken from Breath attacks.

Bernie almost exclusively uses Fire elemental attacks such as Fire Breath. It's weak to Water elemental attacks, so bringing along monsters with the Aquapothecary Talent will turn the tides of battle heavily in your favor.

Additionally, you can bring along monsters with the Soothesayer talent with the Insulate spell to reduce the damage your monsters take from Bernie's Fire Breath.
