"..." "......." "....." *boom* !!!
Here we are at the Lightning Temple. This dungeon isn’t that bad, though it’s super easy get lost our back track over and over to get everything. This temple consists of Blue, Yellow and Red blocks that obstruct your path so you will need that specific colour lightning to destroy them.. meaning that you will run back and forth to open up new paths that were previously blocked off since you didn’t have that colour yet. There are also sections in this dungeon where the room is reallly dark, so you will need to wait for lightning to strike in order to see where to go, our else you will fall down and have to restart from the beginning. Not really difficult since I’ve done it enough times to not have to walk slowly through them, despite not memorizing the paths :p The boss is rather simple as he has only has electric attacks so equipping people with electric resistant equipment makes it easier.

 
“So you’ve come, like moths to the flame!”
Next off, we head to Tethe’alla base to get our rheiards! We need to get 3 passcodes by killing some special grunts and push a lot of blocks around to avoid beams of death and to make new pathways. The boss is pretty tricky, as you have to fight 2 people at once and they are both magical swordsman so my spell casters can get killed easily. I like to split having 1 fighter against each boss to keep the preoccupied, giving time for my spell casters to chant, but it doesn’t always work out nicely. Once one is down, the fight is a lot easier so sometimes it’s better to focus everything on one person. They go down and now we can fly to wherever we want!


Welcome back Colette (again)!
We then fly to a floating island where Colette is trapped and surprise! We have to fight a boss. This battle consists of fighting a giant dragon head and the baby dragons, which is pretty difficult, as each baby dragon can use a mini cyclone that does a lot of damage. Taking out the baby dragons is a must and after we focus on the dragon head. Hurray, Colette is back! Also, I figured out how to chain attack with Colette, so I’m using her now :p

 
Gnomes..
We are now off to the Earth temple, which would be a rather short and simple dungeon, if the gnomes weren’t always blocking your path.. First, you had to give the gnome in the Toize Mine the potion or else you can’t progress. Then, you have to have learned how to make curry and have the ingredients to progress. After, you have to protect a gnome from enemies and finally, you have to time your sorcerer’s ring (which is now a mini earthquake) to match with a jumping gnome to destroy a bridge. However, as I’ve done this, all these things are fairly simple and easy to do so I don’t really have any complaints about this dungeon. The boss is super easy, as he’s reallly big, with a giant hit box so chain comboing him is a breeze and he falls quickly.

Recap:
We get Colette and the rehairds back as well as getting two more summon spirits (Lighting and Earth)
