Right around the time you arrive at Virga Island in search for the Drakodios, opens up yet another opportunity for a brand-new Archetype. In fact, it's a two-for-one deal; this is how you unlock꧑ Junah as a follower,ꦉ too.

Indeed, it's technically possible to play through the rest of the game with her as an ally, but not a follower. Needless to say, let's not do that. Here's how to get the "Save the Mourning Snakes" started, how to defeat its boss, and a link to our walkthrough on the dungeon i💜tself, the Orbwise Path. Let's get started!

How To Start "Save The Mourning Snakes"

By the time you've reached Virga Island, a side quest marker should appear on any town hub map, specifically for Junah.

Since your party members will always hang out along the road sꦏomewhere in these locations, the marker will appear above Junah's head as if she was any ol' NPC.

Conversing with her is enough to kickstart the quest, though you will have to travel to Orbwise Path, meaning considerations must be made for the travel time.

We recommend completing this side quest as soon as possible. Certainly, at least before going to the Dragon Temple the second time (when it's actually unlocked, not when the treౠe is blocking the route).

The Orbwise Path

As we tend to give dungeons their own specific guides, you can follow ours for the Orbwise Path through here. The guide covers all treasures, an overview of enemies, and more.

Reaching the end of the Orbwise Path, however, triggers a boss fight. Those would would prefer th explore the dungeon without a step-by-step can simply do so, and then read on; we want to at least make sure you're prepared for that fight.

Boss: Kokasadors

Kokasadors should go down swiftly for you. It has relatively little HP, but it comes with specific conditions that can spell disaster if you don't abide by them.

Party Setup

You shouldn't consider the above setup by any means mandatory. Rather, it's built to bring down Kokasadors swiftly, and preventing any glaring weaknesses in your team'sꦯ layout while the creature's st꧃ill drawing breath.

Kokasadors Moveset

Additionally, it has the ability to OHKO anyone without a Defense buff later in the battle. The good ne𒅌ws is, you'll probably make short enough work of it t🗹hat you'll never see this.

Battle Strategy

We're going to make quick work here, roasting this bird to a crisp. The idea is to raise everyone's Defense on the first round, thereby preventing Kokasadors' ability to one-hit kill anyone without the buff. It's unlikely you'll 💧see t💫his, but let's be safe.

Beyond that, it's simple: Fire attacks galore, as well as Super Energy Ray, which, while not a Fire-type attack, will do upwards of 1,000 damage in its own right. Getting all those Fire attacks in for Kokasadors' weakness will give you extra turn icons to make it all happen.

Completing "Save The Mourning Snakes"

The nice thing about "Save the Mourning Snakes" is that a conversation with Junah after the Kokasadors battle completes it automatically. There's nothing else for it; yo𒁏u're in the𝔍 clear.

For your efforts, you'll gain Imagination points. More importantly, the Masked Dancer Archetype is now yours for the learning, and you can initiate Junah's Follower ranks next time she's aboard♏ the Gauntler Runner en route to a new destination.
