Enemy Info

Location

Vetala is actually located down on the fifth tier in the chamber we couldn’t reach because it is blocked on the balcony. So our route will take us through this level to work our way down, and starts with exiting this chamber to the balcony. To the right is the main elevator that we cannot use - to the left is the entrance to the next chamber, so that is where we are heading.

Examine the statue here to trigger another realignment of the tower, and then exit to the balcony and run to the right to the far chamber that is now open to us. In the corner of this chamber is a Treasure Sphere with 4 Tears of Woe in it. In the opposite corner there is another Sphere with an Unsetting Sun . After you empty the Sphere head down the stairs to the right and fight the Vetala.

Strategy

Much like Gurangatch, Vetala has some very tough defenses – it’ll laugh off almost every elemental spell you can toss at it, though physical strikes are somewhat more effective. It also has some pretty powerful spellcasting skills that can leave you hurting if you’re not sufficiently buffed. Your goal here is to smash through its barrier and then juggle it as much as possible while it’s staggered. Vetala can be tough if you’re unprepared, but don’t breathe a sigh of relief when it’s finished - it’s got relatives later on that are even more difficult.
