How do I beat Shadowstorm? At first things are going well with Kristin on our side, but then she sacrifices herself in vain. This does 40k damage to Shadowstorm, but then it just recovers 10k every turn after, which the remainder of the team cannot out-damage, until it's back to full. With Kristin we may be able to do 10k damage per turn.

Is there any way to prevent Kristin from sacrificing herself, or do I just have to grind up to level 70 or something to deal enough damage to beat Shadowstorm? It almost feels like Kristin having the name of a deity mentioned in game is just a coincidence.

Apparently it requires me to meet someone named Karth. I have no idea where he is either.

How do I activate the blue star emblems?

Also, there seems to be a mechanic that differs between the final dungeon flame puzzle and the tower of Bestia, in that now all four have to be lit at once and can move off the torches, making it a much more difficult task. How would I solve this puzzle, given the new requirements? Gray is level 52 already, and although I did do a lot of grinding, that was for herbs in order to get healing items. Given that I brought both Gray and Mia I'd envision the final boss would be manageable, especially at my current levels.

The Staff is part of the mission "The Academy" which is found north of the residential district in Sapphane.

Necro has a 50% success rate if it hits against any non-boss enemies. At level one, it has a 50% hit rate, which increases by 5% with each successive level. It is the only status ailment inflicting spell that is not dependant on enemy.

To check status ailment effectiveness against certain enemies (except Necro), you can check the monster log and press the X button (I believe A is the default keyboard correspondence), and the status ailments resistances will be listed where the elemental resistances normally are.

So upgraded Mortalitus is completely impossible?
