Objectives
1	・Cross the Hall of Heroes At the start of the mission, go down to the stairs leading to the lower platform. Keep moving from platform to platform until you reach one with a staircase on the right. Go down the staircase and continue going down each platform until you reach a Cube and a Teleporter and Elevator next to it. Use the Elevator to go down.
2	・Explore the Conduit After going to the lower level, proceed to the platform with the laser. Turn it once and activate it to hit another laser, which will shoot a crystal that creates a bridge to a Tonberry. After that, go back to the second laser, and continue to make your way through the lower platforms until you reach another staircase. Go down the staircase, and you'll see a blocked path. Go left of that blocked path, and look down to see platforms that you can drop from to continue your path downwards until you reach another Cube. After that, activate the Teleporter and use it.
3	・Break the Dark Vent ・Defeat the Chimera After using the Teleporter, you will encounter a Dark Vent that you need to break. Eliminate all enemies to break it. After that, you will face the Chimera, which you have to defeat to complete the side mission.

Tips and Strategies

Use Ice Element Attacks

The Chimera's main weakness is Ice element attacks and spells. This means using weapons infused with Ice, or spells like Blizzara and Blizzaga can take it down faster.
