Use Characters that excel in ranged damage

We recommend using characters that can deal damage from a distance, as you would need to attract the All-Devouring Narwal's aggression while it dives to progress further the fight.

Lyney is recommended as he can effectively deal decent Pyro damage and do Pneuma and Ousia attacks. Shield units like Zhongli are also very valuable in this fight, ensuring survivability.

If they skipped through all the "hey, look at the narwhal diving all over the place" parts, it would've been a much better fight. I liked when it swallows you and you have to fight the boss inside. The music is there is bomb. Everything else though, yeah, they could've done much, much better.
