Head to the right and kill off the Orion near the Treasure Sphere. Collect the Guardian Armlet afterwards then run over to the left side and retrieve the Healer’s Staff (weapon for Vanille which improves Cure magic). Five Metrodroids dance around this treasure so remove those first.
Save at the Save Station and kit your characters with any TP increasing accessory, or an accessory that guards against poison. Prepare the following paradigms:

SYN/SAB (default)

Boss Battle: Midlight Reaper¶
Despite the boss’s fearsome appearance, it is not too difficult to defeat as it can be staggered quickly. It can also inflict Poison, so it is best if Vanille has learned Esuna as a Medic.
| Midlight Reaper | Stats |
|---|---|
| Level / HP | LV 56 / 100,800 HP |
| Strength / Magic | 200 STR / 119 MAG |
| Stagger / Chain Res. / CP | 160% / 50 Chain Resistance / 1,500 CP |
| Vulnerabilities | Fire (Weak) / Ice (Weak) / Lightning (Immune) / Physical (Halves) / Magical (Halves) |
| Common Drop / Rare Drop | Gyroscope (25%) / Piezoelectric Element (5%) |
An easy battle, provided you make it that way. Begin by having Sazh pop Haste, Protect and Shell on himself and Vanille. Meanwhile the boss is likely to poison you, but for now, shrug it off until Vanille lands Deprotect and Imperil on it. When they stick, switch to or until Poison is gone, then keep switching between and until the enemy is Staggered. The boss has two other attacks: one hits a character for about 200 damage, and the other is an attack with an extremely long charge time (hits both characters for about 250 damage). When the Imperil status on the boss is gone, reapply it again, as it’s a huge help in driving the boss towards defeat.
