100% Reward: Empress Tear (5BC/turn sphere) [I know the name but empress sounds better]

Hello there once again, back here once more for the second Grand Quest Proud Soldier's Feast. My last guide had a few problems because I wasn't being specific enough but this time I'll be proper. Once again this GQ requires 4 minimum runs to 100% but this time the reward is arguably much better. This guide was done while completing the 100% so there should be no problems.

Run 1

This run is for the gold achievement which gives you an evil shard (3BC/turn sphere) on completion but does not complete any of the silver missions of defeating the boss with a certain party. Following this route you will finish the gold achievement, Silver 4, Bronze 2 and Bronze 3.

  1. Lugina: Gentle River Bank--Windy Prairie
  1. Paris: West District--Temple of Light
  1. Summoner: Scenic Plain--Sunlit Woods
  1. Lugina: Windy Prairie--Woods path(mini bosses Zazabis/Behemoth)
  1. Paris: Temple of Light--Luminous Forest(Mini boss Granomos)
  1. Summoner: Sunlit Woods--Flowery Shore(Edelma mini boss)
  1. Any squad: --Great Tree of life

(The earth boss isn't so bad but you have to fight him a second time afterwards but you'll be able to change around your squads and choose your team before fighting him the second time where he is a bit more difficult. The major thing you have to be wary about is when he doesn't attack you around 50%hp. He will do an ultimate attack (Called Open Mouth thanks u/LizzyLui) so just guard and heal up the next turn since it won't kill you if you're guarding but will even through mitigation since I believe it wipes buffs before the attack. I believe it does around 130% hp though I'm not sure and randomly does it afterwards. Also status cleansing is necessary if you don't want to get stacked with status ailments.)

Run 2

This run isn't as spectacular since you're only getting one silver achievement(Silver 2) and two bronze (Bronze 1 and 4).

  1. Lugina:Gentle River Bank--Windy Prairie--Woods path(mini bosses Zazabis/Behemoth)
  1. Paris:West District--Windy Grasslands
  1. Lugina:Woods Path--Great Tree of Life

Run 3

Once again you will do basically the same as the last run but instead Paris goes to kill the boss and Lugina picks up his chest. This will give you Silver 3 and Bronze 5.

  1. Paris:West District--Temple of Light--Luminous Forest(Mini boss Granomos)
  1. Lugina:Gentle River Bank--River Road
  1. Paris: Luminous Forest--Great Tree of Life

Run 4

Simplest run to do as the only objective left is to beat up the boss with the summoner squad to get the 1st silver achievement.

  1. Summoner: Scenic Plain--Sunlit Woods--Flowery Shore(mini boss Edelma)--Great Tree of Life

And that's everything. I hand tested the entire guide with my account and everything worked out. My last guide I worked off of memory so there were a few issues but this one there shouldn't be any problems if the guide is followed 100%. Enjoy your royal tears.

I've been looking for a guide for this mission, but couldn't find one! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

No problem had some free time and I already made one so why not.

These are really helpful to make sure everything is done and energy is not wasted.

I love how you stated which achievements are achieved for each run :p Always had this problem with other guides cause I already ran all the missions once and it made me waste so much time trying to alter how i should run my runs...

EDIT: Great guide and just a small advice if you're planning to make more guides. Maybe state which runs are for preparations for an achievement? Such as how Karl has to have that 'new realization' before being able to get that gold achievement. Just my small thought thanks for the guide <3

2
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

So far the two guides I made do not have a preparation run unlike the next few GQ but if I happen to make one for Lugina, palmyna etc I'll try to add on which runs need to be done first before attempting a certain achievement. For now this is my last guide since every GQ now in global has a guide so it might be awhile.

Thanks for this guide, First guide was a bit confuse but once I get the hang of it, its really useful guides. Only that the evil boss quite hard to defeat as it keep spamming debuffs and heavy hits after it hit 49% Crazy boss~~~ By the way, Guard on that Ultimate attack really works, I had sheera use Mitigate and she died for not guarding, the 2nd time I have all of my units guard and they all survived. Thanks for that tip too!

2
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Yeah the last guide I was a bit lazy on and it caused some confusion so I decided to actually go a little more in detail this time to make sure there wouldn't be any problems. The guarding idea wasn't mine so I can't take credit but I'm glad it worked for you.

LizzyLui•

Thank you for the hard work! Very nice.

2
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Your welcome :)

1
LizzyLui•

The final boss fight, the preparation move is called 'Open Mouth', when you see that, guard all units. He did it twice, once at 55% and at 50% or just below.

2
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Thanks added to the guide.

The sphere is pretty good if you don't already have a similar one

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Until RC5 is 100% released its the best sphere of its kind I believe. 5BC per turn which is better than evil shard by 2BC roughly 66%.

1
xsilr•

Yeah true. The raid class 5 sphere gives 10bc per turn if I remember correctly which is so good

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Basically elimo has bb every turn if she has it.

1

Elimo with that sphere and Grah's SBB actually ensures 16 BC/turn, which is conveniently the exact amount she needs for BB.

Aww yiss, I've been waiting for this!

Nice and easy guide to follow! Just achieved 100%, thanks!!

1
Kimchipai•

i cant get the achievement woods Path: Faced Challenges. Please help D:

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

That require you to follow run 1 where you have to follow really specific steps before fighting the boss which unlocks the true boss fight.

2
Kimchipai•

oh ok thanks :D

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Np hopefully it works for you.

Fenrir0788•

Can't seem to get the 1st trophy find a valuable treasure... :/ I did all as it was I the guide and it doesn't show as clear.

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Did you receive an evil shard after beating the GQ following the first run? To get the valuable treasure, evil shard, you have to collect all 3 stones from each path (you get them at certain steps) and have every party be at the area before the boss. If you don't fight the boss a second time when it's much more difficult you won't get the reward.

2
Fenrir0788•

Got it thanks! Was missing a step ha-ha returned to your guide and was able to do it :D

Thank you! I vouch for this!

Good to know and your welcome.

Run 2 Step 3 is:

Lugina:Windy Prairie--Great Tree of Life

Should be:

Lugina:Woods Path--Great Tree of Life

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Well I was bound to make a mistake. Thanks for the correction.

1
Itchyy750-457-0054•

NP! I thought I messed up at first haha. Thanks for the great guide.

Fallman2•

Do I have to have mitigators on every team?

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

I don't believe so but for the team fighting the boss I recommend having one. Also for the special boss, the second time you fight him where he is actually able to destroy you, mitigators would be necessary to make sure you don't die.

1
Shionie•

thank you for your helpful guide, just got it to 100% !

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

No problem glad to help.

2
saggyfire•

So far it's working but you may want to add a little extra warning:

During the Spreegard Boss fight, GUARD. This attack wiped out my entire team through Elimo's SBB! This move DGAF about Mitigation, you MUST Guard.

Reading the guide I figured it was just a recommendation but this move either wipes buffs or ignores mitigation so I think guarding isn't just a "should do" but is 100% required.

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

O.o I thought I put that down. Mbad I guess I didn't change that.

1
saggyfire•

Other than losing 1 squad against the boss (Thankfully I took my Laguna/Paris teams seriously with decent units since I had plenty of cost) everything seems to be going exactly as stated with the right achievements, etc.

Very helpful, I had a hard time with the guide I read for the first one (And honestly my heart wasn't in it, I don't desperately need a Sphere Frog right now).

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

I reformatted the first one and I'll admit it wasn't the best. It now looks similar to this one though after I updated it roughly half a month ago.

1
saggyfire•

Well this one was perfect, got my Empress tear!

Omegaforce1803Elimo MVP :P•

This sphere with Drevas on my elimo means BB every turn :3

1
Junkman199•

Couldnt you combine Run1 and Run4 by fighting the boss with the Summoner Squad on Run1?

1
Junkman199•

Oh, and with the Boss, he didnt do the AoE on the HP thresholds, I easily beat him(both forms), with this squad: -Raaga(B)-Lead- Maxwell/SBB10 7* Ruby/UBB Lario/SBB10 Shera/SBB10-Ulkina/SBB4 -Friend:Lugina&Paris= Ulkina Own Squad: Griel-Friend-

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

Doing the gold achievement I believe does not give you any of the kill boss with x squad silver achievement so you can't combine them. When I made this that's how it worked for me so maybe changes have been made.

1
Junkman199•

Ah okay, thanks

1
Vega_IRon•

Can a squad with zenia blitz through that Open mouth threshold?

1
SilentScriptOPlmpurity-3824960086•

I'm not entirely sure but if you can kill the boss in two turns then yeah. If you can nuke it for half of its hp in one turn (the turn where he uses open mouth preparation) then yes.

2
Omegaforce1803Elimo MVP :P•

I beat this boss with this team on the first turn (if you want to know the most are F2P units and You have Zenia)

Zenia (A), Selena(O), Maxwell(L), Lario (A) Mifune (B) and Elimo (Elimo is the mitigator with other units like aaron is more easy) One shot this boss easy using Brute elixir on all damagers and GG

2
Vega_IRon•

Thanks. I have them all and Aaron as well.

1
Tapirboy•

Run 4 here isn't working for me. I also tried a second run bypassing Sunlit Woods and that didn't get me Silver 1 either.

1
EexeGlobal: 1915711711 // Jp: 49760777•

I just did it right now. It worked for me.

Tnx for the guide!

1
SeanLSU•

Run 4 doesn't complete it for me, either. Stuck at 90% with just that one silver achievement eluding me.

1
_ValgarasValgaras - 4558457335•

i must either not be a high enough level for this or i'm doing something wrong. can't seem to pump out enough damage to take this guy down. his open mouth comes almost every other turn and even at full hp, my team gets almost completely wiped.

do i just need to focus more on def? bring a leader with higher hp/def buffs to the team? i just snagged Kaito from the vocaloids before Gumi removed him and his LS is very good def wise if i have 6 elements present. or does the open mouth attack bypass even leader skills?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

1
Chris4DN1603970494•

I just did this right now. What I did was just keep attacking him until the Open Mouth attack started. As soon as you see open mouth, guard with all your units and heal right after (I would also recommend having all your units at full health). He'll unleash a powerful attack that should take all your units down to red (if you guarded) the turn after Open Mouth. If all your units are being destroyed even though you're guarding, then I don't think you having good enough units to beat him.

2
_ValgarasValgaras - 4558457335•

so Kaito's LS did help. survivability went way higher. does wipe buffs before the open mouth, but the extra HP and Def he gives made a difference. that and a 7* Zenia friend popping her UBB didn't hurt. :]
