General
  • You need to have all the characters (Lily permanently joined).
  • The only characters that can attack are Deathpolca & Lily; others can only be used for guarding
  • I'll only mention fights that are necessary; try to avoid others as much as possible.
  • All credit goes to Altterisk on F95Zone. If you are the original author who wrote this guide and want me to remove it, you can DM me. I would gladly remove this guide if you want

B11-B21
  • B11:
    You can kill the Red Circle to get a dagger, but it's not worth it.
    Go to the left and get the key.
    The Bird can possibly be avoided, but I'll assume you can't, so fight it.
    Either use a dagger or accept 1 death. I choose to use a reviver here.
    Go down.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 6 / Daggers: 1 / Poison: 1 / Scrolls: 1

    Go up and down at the bottom pillar where a mob circles around (not the one with the blue crystal). If the mob approaches you, go to the other side. A key will appear; grab it.

  • B14:
    There is a hidden passage to the left of the left Scroll; grab it.
    Defeat the enemy guarding the red crystal and trigger it.
    The one guarding the key will occasionally move out; wait for that to happen to grab the key, wait for another one to move out.
    Go down.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 7 / Daggers: 1 / Poison: 1 / Scrolls: 2

  • B15:
    Trigger the red crystal.
    The "Boss" is another Executioner, but you don't have to fight it (there is another boss).
    The wall to the right of the left Bird has a hidden passage, 1 row above the row of the gate; use it to bypass the boss fight.
    Grab the dagger and revive one character, use the poison on the tank.
    Go to the ladder to trigger the real boss fight (Flow).
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 7 / Daggers: 1 / Scrolls: 2

  • B16:
    Trigger the red crystal.
    There is a hidden passage right of the starting room leading to the Scroll.
    If you pick the scroll up, the Red Circle will move to block the entrance; you can run before that happens, or ignore the Scroll.
    Go to the left side through 2 hidden passages in the top row.
    Grab the Poison in the room with the Red Circle.
    If you pick the key up, the Red Circle will move to block the entrance, similar to above; you can run before that happens.
    Go down.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 8 / Daggers: 1 / Poison: 1 / Scrolls: 3

  • B17:
    Grab the Scroll, then fight the Red Circle, revive whoever died.
    Circle around the enemies and grab the dagger and the key.
    Unlock the gate then trigger the red crystal.
    Keep trying left and right doors; the enemy will try to block you but it will disappear after a few times.
    Go down.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 8 / Daggers: 2 / Poison: 1 / Scrolls: 4

  • B18:
    Go to the right, avoid the moving enemy and trigger the red crystal.
    There is a hidden passage below the crystal for another Reviver.
    Revive 3 characters, kill the 3 bottom-left Circles, follow the hidden passage all the way to the key.
    Go back and go to the top, avoid the moving enemy and unlock the gate to go down.
    There is a hidden passage behind the 2 enemies leading to a Poison, but it's not worth it.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 7 / Daggers: 2 / Poison: 1 / Scrolls: 4

  • B19:
    Trigger the red crystal.
    Revive 2 characters, kill the 3 bottom-left Circles leading to the glowing Guard, which drops a Spirit Soul Stone; use it.
    You can go back up, kill 1 Circle and grab the Poison if you want. I will grab it to keep the fighting guide consistent.
    Ignore the key, go down and kill the 2 mobs standing in the way. Continue and kill the one guarding the gate too.
    The gate is not locked, go down.
    Deaths: 4 / Revivers: 6 / Daggers: 2 / Poison: 2 / Scrolls: 4

  • B20:
    Trigger the red crystal.
    You have 2 Poison and 2 Daggers; use the strategy above to kill the 2 Bosses (Flow).
    Alternatively, you have enough Revivers to spam Turn 1 double Guard + Turn 2 dagger, or Turn 1 and 2 double Guard.
    There are hidden passages leading to the left and right sides; each has a dagger. But they're skippable if you followed this guide.
    Deaths: 5 / Revivers: 6 / Scrolls: 4

  • B21:
    And the reward for coming this far is... (drumroll, please)...
    An unwinnable boss fight...
    Forced Deathpolca BADEND...
    And the mysterious doll gives something....

@tompuljalmegI figured it out, go to bottom left of the room, circle around clockwise the second pillar from the bottom.

I don't get the instructions for B12

For anyone who lose 3 characters instead of 2 in Executioner fight.
You MUST have Lily in 2nd battle slot for this tactic to work.

Also, the order of character you recruit in cell area is also important because you can't change formation in this mode.
If Lily position in party is last or 2nd last you will need to restart and recruit her first.

also in B11, use reviewer after battle. I lost polca but decided to go on because I still had 2 remaining. Then the red circle in B13 finished me off. Perhaps also because I had the other one guard, should have scrolled up

Thanks for the guide.
There's a slight error:
In B10, you wrote "Another Executioner boss like B5, revive 2". Following this guide, you actually don't have to revive anyone.
End B9: 3 dead, 5 revivers
In B10, gain 1 reviver, lose 2 to executioner, don't revive anyone
End B10: 5 dead, 6 revivers

Character position is important.
AOE attack will start damaging character from the left side first.
[AUT] Kaelty 15 Aug, 2023 @ 11:28am 
Same for me, Executioner kills 3.
GreMar 17 Jul, 2023 @ 7:23pm 
when I fight the Executioner I lose 3 characters not 2, why is that? it forces me to either use a dagger or just lose :DazedKalinka:

@Cheeky Kunt
No, the patrolling Red Circle will leave the path open when it walk up.
Cheeky Kunt 10 Apr, 2023 @ 1:46pm 
Heya, thanks for the guide.

For Floor 18, when you mean kill the bottom-left three Circles", are you supposed to beat all the Circles blocking the way to them also?
