Defeat All the Enemies


First Wave

Second Wave

Defeat all two waves of enemies in the Hollow Stage to complete the commission. The first wave has two normal enemies and one elite enemy, while the second wave has two normal enemies and one boss.

In the first wave, it is recommended to take care of the two normal enemies first because they are fairly easy to beat, and then focus on defeating the elite enemy afterwards.

For the second wave, practice perfect dodging because it will take some time to defeat the two enemies that use shields and the final boss.
