You’ll need to open a specific locked room to get the clues about the Sea Lord Lairs, so obtaining the Ultimate Key is required. You can get it from the priest inside the Rendarak Shrine during the late game.

How to Get the Ultimate Key and Where to Use It

Talk to the Prisoner in Dirkandor

All Sea Lord Lair Bosses

Southern Sea Lord's Lair: Abysmeralda

Abysmeralda

The boss of the Southern Seas is Abysmeralda. Its main gimmick is putting your party to sleep, then immediately following with an instant-death attack, so sleep protection is absolutely mandatory. If anyone dozes off, wake them up ASAP or they’re practically gone.

Abysmeralda also uses a lot of instant-death skills, so stack death resistance with items such as Diameand or equipment that negates insta death.

Northern Sea Lord's Lair: Helliphantes

Helliphantes

The boss of the Northern Sea is Helliphantes. He can act up to three times per turn using physical hits, spells, breath attacks, debuffs, and status ailments. Make sure your squad is fully geared and buffed before taking him on.

He also has very high Defence, so breaking through him is easier if you use the Hero’s Wild Side combo, pairing it with a powerful ability

Eastern Sea Lord's Lair: No Bosses

There are no bosses in the Eastern Sea Lord's Lair as this only holds treasure chests.
