* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Most of the party members you obtain so happens to be effective against the upcoming boss.
** The two statues are vulnerable to light, which Aurora uses.
** The giant deals quite a bit of damage and is accompanied with two hyenas that can slow, Rubella can heal off the damage and prevent the slowing.
** The serpent trio is vulnerable to elemental damage, which Finn specializes in.
** The giant spider counters interrupts with haste, therefore it's a good idea to slow it down or paralyze it with Robert/Norah.
** Cordelia's dragon form is weak to physical damage, which Oengus excels at.
** Nox's dragon form deals water-elemental damage, which Gen naturally resists.
