How to Complete The Demon of the Spring

Objectives
1	Head back to the Mermaid that gave you the The Cursed Mermaids sidequest. She is located closed to the base of the waterfall near the Hamamatsucho Leyline Fount. Speak to her and accept her quest.
2	Follow the path indicated. You will need to head up to the Tokyo Tower Leyline Fount, then keep on heading north till you get to the Kamiyacho Leyline Fount. Take a right and go up a winding path.
3	You will need to get to this high point, and jump over a gap to get to Anahita. Clearing the nearby Abscess will also help with map visibility.
4	You will find Anahita at the end of the path. She will challenge you to a battle to lift the curse. Say Yes to both of her questions, and prepare for a difficult fight. ・How to Beat Anahita
6	When you defeat Anahita, Megami Anahita will be available for fusion. Return to the Mermaid to complete the quest. You will receive 1 Femme Talisman as well as 1000 EXP.

How to Beat Anahita

Anahita casts Ice magic, so make sure to have resistances to it. She also casts Hama magic, so having Nahobino be resistant to it is recommended. She is weak against Electric and Fire attacks, so it's advisable to use a full party that can use Zio and Agi. A healer in your party is also advised.
