Bonus Battles
Death Dragon's Tomb +

• Red Dragon
  HP: ~82,745
  Target Score: Defeat the Red Dragon without being KO'd, Exploit the Red Dragon's weakness to ice attacks, Exploit the Red Dragon's weakness to water attacks.
  
  • Weak: Water and Ice
  • Resists: Fire
  • Null: None
  • Vulnerabilities: Slow Abilities and Stun Abilities
• Cockatrice
  HP: ~25,414 each
  Target Score: Defeat the Cockatrice without being KO'd, Reduce the Cockatrice's MAG, Exploit the Cockatrice's weakness to earth attacks.
  
  • Weak: Earth
  • Resists: Wind
  • Absorbs: None
  • Vulnerabilities: Poison Abilities

Commentary

These are the same fights as earlier except with much higher stats. Bring mixed mitigation as they both have attacks of both types.

Sand Rune Temple Basement ++
Imperial Lich
HP: ~???
Target Score:

• Defeat the Imperial Lich without being KO'd.
• Reduce Imperial Lich's MAG.
• Reduce Imperial Lich's ATK.

Weak: Wind (Earth Element), Fire (Water/Ice Element)
Resists: Earth (Earth Element), Water and Ice (Water/Ice Element)
Null: None
Vulnerabilities: None

Commentary

• Imperial Lich switches to Water state at roughly 50% HP and uses Refine Water as an interrupt.

This Lich has a mixed magical and physical offense. Bring heavy mitigation for both because it can really mess you up. Tauntaliate will eliminate the threat of its most dangerous attack (Decapitator).

Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

Chaos Battlefield +++
Chaos
HP: ~249,551
Target Score:

• Defeat Chaos without being KO'd.
• Reduce Chaos's MAG.
• Exploit Chaos's weakness to holy attacks.

Weak: Ice and Water (Default), Fire (Fire Weak), Ice (Ice Weak), Wind (Wind Weak), Earth (Earth Weak) Holy (All)
Absorbs: None
Resist: None
Null: All but Weakness (all Phases except Default)
Vulnerabilities: Stun Abilities

Commentary

• Chaos changes his weakness randomly when he uses Flood of Despair.

I recommend just focusing on his holy weakness. A knight or two with Saint's Cross and/or Banishing Strike plus a white mage with Diaga can make short work of Chaos. That said, be very careful because Flood of Despair into Requiem can deal some serious damage even through Sentinel's. Bring heavy mitigation.

Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

Three Lichs (Ultimate)
Evil Lich, Dual Lich, Imperial Lich
HP: ~80,203 each

Commentary

Each Lich comes one at a time starting with the Evil Lich. When you defeat the Evil Lich, the Dual Lich will immediately spawn. When you defeat the Dual Lich, the Imperial Lich will immediately spawn. All three Liches switch to their water/ice aligned state and use their transition skill (Water Leadership, Dread of Water, Refine Water) as an interrupt at 50% HP.
This is much easier than it should be since you fight them one at a time instead of all together. Tauntaliate nullifies most of their truly dangerous attacks, but bring mixed mitigation anyway because there are a couple AOE physical and AOE magical attacks in there. Remember to hit them with fire after they buff themselves at 50% HP. All three Liches have a high chance to use "True Power is Awakened" on their turn, which appears to do nothing (except possibly alter stats? not sure).
Note that 0% chance abilities don't mean they never get used, it just means they aren't used randomly. I wasn't able to figure out exactly what caused Debarrier, Earth/Water Wave, Armor Crush Earth/Water, or Stonaja/Blizzaja to get used, but I'm reasonably certain I did see at least some of them used.

Commentary

• Chaos switches his elemental weakness randomly whenever he uses Flood of Despair. Chaos uses Flood of Despair or Requiem as interrupts on a specific turn progression which I haven't unraveled yet.

This fight is the same as the EX++ version except with different stats. I say "different" instead of "higher" because this version actually has lower HP than the EX++ version. Whichever strategy you used there will work just fine here too. One thing to note is that all of his damage is fire, so fire resistance gear is valuable here.

[Ratatapa]

Was able to buy all mythrils both Sarah's mc and some greater orbs

Still have + +++ U and U+ to do

[synistar]

+++ can drop MPO.

[kuronosan]

I forget, anymore 1 events down the line?

[Alkar]

I forget, anymore 1 events down the line?

There's one going on in JP right now with Matoya and Master Monk.

[hyoton]

What should I get with seeds? Sarah mc1/2, mythril, then eggs?

[synistar]

Greater orbs. I have some left over currency after clearing the entire event after buying everything minus Garland's MCs, normal orbs, and some of the lesser eggs. We should get more currency for U and U+

[Kirin]

Do the U and U+ fights award prismatic seeds?

[synistar]

Meh, 250 for U+. Unknown for U.

If you need more, you can run ++ for 3500 seeds 20 stam clear, or 8k for 40 stam. At least inferring that they are completion rewards and should act similarly to dailies in payout.

[Sumy]

...8k for 40 stam.

This^

Cleared the entire event, and did +++ two more times, (hoping to get a Major Power Orb) and had enough seeds to buy everything, with 1500 seeds left over for gil...

[Corwen]

Do the U and U+ fights award prismatic seeds?

Yes they do, if i remember correctly it was 14.5k for U and 600 for u+. It might not be the correct numbers but the seeds/stam ratio definitely improves on the higher difficulties.

[Kirbyprime]

Are there any hidden items or w/e that's only released on the store later or something? Otherwise I think I'm done with the event already @_@

[Corwen]

Nah, nothing else will be added to the shop, just U and U+ fights tomorrow

[Classikmage]

Smashed U and U+ fights. Bought everything except Garland MC1/2 and had a bit left over and said fuck it and bought 1k Gil, lol.

[Moridam]

U was difficult in that i had to sandbag a bit to make sure i didn't miss exploiting each fire phase

U+ was pretty lol, just RW'ed shout to free ramza up for BSSB, agrias spams SC, everyone else can pretty much sit there while the boss melts in 3 turns

also if you buy the garland MC's, you get a greater/major growth egg if you already have them. expensive compared to the other eggs but it's something to do with your leftover points.

[Deathbringer]

Had to redo U since 2nd Lich didn't wanna change weakness before it died. Bodied U+ free, then went to buy everything including Garland MC1/2(sup eggs).

[kuronosan]

I pretty much mowed over Chaos. I have so much holy going on (holy RM, Diaga, Saints, Banishing, blah blah) I didn't even pay attention to elemental affinities.

In fact, the only person who died was Ysh, again, because for some reason Chaos wanted to pull a Mario Kart and started casting exclusively on her while Stoneskinga was charging.

[Kirbyprime]

lol... Ult drops Major White Orb... ;(

[Rooney]

Chaos went down so fast I didn't even bother curing, and everyone still ended with more than half HP. He also drops 15 prismatic seeds. I know it's only 1 stamina, but 15 still seems low lol.
