| How to Pressure Lavalisk |
|---|
| Exploiting its elemental weakness will pressure it. While pressured, it will become unable to use some of its abilities. |
Lavalisks are very weak to Ice and can easily pressure them. Equip the Ice Materia and cast Blizzard to pressure your enemies and deal damage to stagger them.

If you are trying to pressure the enemy and your level is way too high, there is a chance that you'll defeat the enemy even before pressuring them. To solve this, switch to Dynamic difficulty as the enemies' level will scale with you, providing a challenge and an opportunity to complete the Fiend Intel's mission
Dynamic Difficulty and Difficulty Settings
If you fail an objective such as pressuring the enemy, you can always retry the Fiend Intel by holding the Triangle button.

After activating Piedmont Tower, pin the Fiend Intel on the map and climb the climbable wall to the right using a Mountain Chocobo.
Once you reach the top, just follow the waypoint until you see a Chocobo Stop on the way. There will be another climbable wall that you need to use to get to the Fiend Intel.
How to Get the Black Chocobo (Mountain Chocobo)

It is highly recommended to equip the Assess Materia and Assess the Fiend to figure out their pressure conditions and also what their weaknesses or resistances are.

Scanning Fiends will also contribute to unlocking some Biological Intel missions as Chadley will require you to assess a certain amount of enemies within a region in order to unlock a Biological Intel combat simulator missions.
