Defeat all of the enraged Saunils to obtain a buff near the flag that greatly increases your damage. [Agile] Saunil Commander and [Sharp] Saunil Siege Captain have hidden themselves in the Saunil Camp. Enraged by the hunting of their elite soldiers, the Saunils have started attacking the Calpheon Knights. As a result, the number of Calpheon Knights Outstations has decreased. If you continue to fight around the Calpheon flag defended by the Calpheon Knights for a certain period of time, the [Enraged] Saunils will start to gather. If you defeat a certain number of [Enraged] Saunils, the Saunil Siege Tower will definitively appear. Even after defeating the Saunil Siege Tower, if you continue to defeat [Enraged] Saunils, there is a chance that both [Agile] Saunil Commander and [Sharp] Saunil Siege Captain to appear simultaneously.

Primal Giant Post (Gehaku Plain) 280 AP 370 DP	Defeat Giants and “World-weary Souls” will appear. The more souls gather, the more powerful Giants will rush in.

Hexe Sanctuary 300 AP 390 DP	Defeat the Hexe undead and “Soul of the Dead” will appear where they fall. Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth will collect these souls. You cannot attack Skeleton Witmirth if it hasn’t harvested enough souls. Once Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth has harvested enough “Souls of the Dead,” it will crave the soul of Adventurers and attack. Souls harvested by the Soul Harvester Skeleton Witmirth will summon forth even more undead. Defeat Unstable Soul Green Orc Skeleton Warriors and their souls will explode to deal much damage to undead nearby. Once enough deathly energy has gathered, Hexe Marie will appear herself to mercilessly attack Adventurers. “Hexe Marie” will demand “Skeleton Soldiers” nearby to sacrifice themselves for her. – The souls of these “Skeleton Soldiers” will explode dealing powerful damage to Adventurers and undead alike.
Quint Hill 310 AP 400 DP	Once an Ancient Troll’s HP goes below a certain point, it will unleash its HP to charge its Stamina. Petrified Trolls nearby hit by this burst will awaken.
