Step-by-Step Guide

1
using Piercing Light on Typhan
You'll be up against a powerful enemy this time, which is also indicated by the health bar at the top of your screen with their name and epithet.

Defeat Typhan to complete the objective. Make sure to counter his Charge attacks with Piercing Light to expose his weak-point.
* Powerful enemies and bosses are stronger and tankier than the regular mobs that you see everywhere, but you can "expose" their weak-point gauges and deplete them to perform a Weak-Point Smash.

Using Unique Skills, countering the red attacks called Dangerous Attacks, or performing Flurry Rushes expose a powerful enemy's weak-point gauge.
2
Special Rations from Sonia
Move to the next area and try to capture the outpost by defeating enough enemies to make a powerful enemy reveal themselves and defeating them.

You can also use the Special Rations given to you to recover health.
3
using Bow of Light on Quino
After capturing the outpost, move to the next one that has another named powerful enemy, Quino. Unlike Typhon who uses Charge attacks, Quino uses Jump attacks, which can be countered by Bow of Light.
4
fighting Rauru
Defeat Quino and move to the final outpost, where you'll face King Rauru himself. He can use both Charge and Jump attacks, so be sure to use the correct Unique Skill to interrupt them and expose Rauru's weak-point.
* You'll be able to use your first Sync Strike with Sonia once Rauru's HP drops to about 25%. These are extremely powerful attacks that can be performed by any two characters close to each other while both having full sync gauges by simply pressing the L button.
5
playing as Rauru
For the last part of your training, Rauru will join your side to spar with Pastos, Braton, and finally, Agraston. Now that you have another playable character, you can switch between them using the D-pad anytime during the fight and while exploring in later battles.

When against more than one powerful enemy, use the Right Stick to change which target to lock-on to.

Finish off Agraston by any means necessary to complete the battle.
