Haunted Mansion Sea of Stars Walkthrough Pt.16

Walkthrough & Loot Reminders for the Haunted Mansion parts of Sea of Stars.

Welcome again to our Sea of Stars Walkthrough. This segment deals with the events in the Haunted Mansion.

"Missable Items" / Important Loot Notes

• Recipe: Mooncradle Fish Pie
• Question Pack #3
• Scroll: X-Strike (Zale Serai Combo)
• Music Sheet #2

Serai rejoins shortly and notably you can now swap between characters IN-COMBAT! In the room after you meet her there's a savepoint. Beating enemies reveals spirits that help you. The first one unlocks a campfire in the room. In the next room the spirit shows you how to open the secret passage there.

In the second area, there's a Recipe: Mooncradle Fish Pie. In the kitchen you need to make the ghost a sandwich - the recipe is on the counter. 2 Dread, 1 Rust, 3 Sugar, 2 Dust, and 4 Hepar.

In the Library: On the Bookshelf left of the entrance is Question Pack #3. Give the statues their rightful helmets to open up the next part of the puzzle. Click on the skulls to "rearrange" them according to the picture. "Bird Ant Man Bull", and "Bull Man Ant Bird". You get the Scroll: X-Strike (Combo for Serai and Zale). If you're wondering how to proceed, there's a new path right behind the "King", which is very difficult to see.

Once you get past this tunnel (with loot: Spectral Cape), make sure to break the rocks south of you - it's a shortcut to the savepoint room! From here it's pretty straightforward until you reach the Gardens.

At the Gardens, switch on the pot to your left. This opens up the path to the Rainbow Conch by the kitchen. Clearing the two sets of thorns here reveals a savepoint! Rest and save before going in.

Boss - Botanical Horror

Is weak to sun, moon, and poison damage. Has four limbs, and a main body. You cannot damage the actual boss unless all limbs are dead! Once the boss is exposed, its next move is to revive them. Use Serai's DISORIENT skill to extend this downed time!

Once you're done, the newly opened room on the left of the savepoint has Music Sheet #2. Head on over back to the very first main room, and talk to the Headmaster.

Boss - Dweller of Woe

You can't really lose this one? The Headmasters healing skill is too powerful… This first phase lasts until the Headmaster asks Garl to find a way to bring more of the Eclipse light in. After the short task is finished you get a new Garl Skill: Cooker Surprise.

The "real" boss fight... well.. I don't think you can lose this one either. The headmasters support skills are simply too powerful. You can leave him on "Heal" forever and it would trivialize this fight. It's weaknesses are Live Mana attacks and any sun or moon attacks.

This boss just takes a while, but you'll get there. Solstice Strike (and boosted version) is very useful to break a lot of the "1 turn locks".

After one of the most annoying series of events after this boss, it's off back to Brisk...
