Aspara is probably here but you just defeated Vala so why worry.
Puppet’s Peak
Surely enough Apsara is waiting here. She is with nothing but melee fighters as Wolf Men, Ghouls and Bugs come at you. Your party is split in three so having Cavalier to traverse this area would expediate things but having the Fool summon out to kill them faster is just as good.
Apsara the spider will take a bit to get to you and then will begin unleashing attacks on you. She likes SpiderKiss which does great damage but to one ally. She had a DarkNet attack that missed.
Getting to Apsara is hard because it’s all uphill and narrow passages. It’d help to have characters that can fly with their Were (like Kikka and Ryorin) to get to the other routes. Goku’s Cloud and Sanzo’s Cavalier can do this also. The Wolfmen here can heal and use high level magic so beware, they are more than just brutes. Really though, just maneuving around the tree is the hardest part of this level.
Kannaoj
Garda intercepts you here. She is a white haired flying devil. No were change for her. She likes to hit you with Blazeballs and her Sorcerer friends will drop Comets on you. She can attack regularly but tends to save this toward the end when you probably runs out of MP.
Have you ever wondered about Sanzo?
Great guide
