RF5 - avoid hitting the mushrooms

Large mushrooms scattered all over the Forest of No Return can inflict various status effects when hit. Since they are placed in areas infested with monsters, try to remove them while attacking monsters from a distance.

4. The townsfolk will fall to a curse

RF5 - sleeping Priscilla

After clearing the Forest of No Return and reporting back to Livia, all of Rigbarth will be inflicted by a curse. All facilities like the bakery and general store won't be functional with the curse active, so make sure to do or buy everything you need before returning to Livia.

Additionally, the next dungeon is designed to gradually deplete your RP. Before triggering the event, make sure to stock up on RP recovery items.

Battle Tips

・Spam Gatling Comet from a distance

Spam Gatling Comet from a distance

RF5 - spamming Gatling Comet

Deader Tree can be defeated by spamming Gatling Comet, a magic spell that you can obtain from a chest by clearing the previous area. This boss moves slowly and only uses close range attacks during the first phase.

Once its HP goes down to less than half, it will move to the second phase and start using long range attacks. You can try to dodge these attacks, but it won't really do much damage if you're at least lv80.
