Great job with the Walker of Illusion and the Corrupted Parade Master! That ladder at 9:02 was actually a shortcut so you wouldn't have to run the whole way back up. I recommend grabbing some shot puts at the Mulam District if you’ve got some Ergo to spare, they make it much easier to insta-stagger bosses and enemies with that white outline around their health bar. The Auto Charge Pulse Cell upgrade is a lifesaver too, even if it's slow, so it's definitely worth considering. Heads up, the Alidoro choice is coming up soon, so be prepared! Also, you can now level up at any Stargazer, not just with Sophia, even in New Game Plus, which makes it super convenient. If you get a Cryptic Vessel depending on the Alidoro choice, make sure to hand it over to Venigni, read it, and then follow up with Eugene. Good luck with the next boss, you’ve got this!
