Part
IV of the Forest of Spirits prepares players for Hellish Fairy, their
first real boss
battle. Almost every new player has a hard time with Hellish Fairy, and
the quests that precede the battle are designed to be sure your squad
is at full strength before engaging such a tough foe.

PART IV - Hellish Fairy

type="checkbox">Minimum
Abilities

Sun Hwa's first request is that you train until your hero is
level
10. If you have been following this guide, you should be level 10
already. You'll collect 100XP, 1200 gold, and Dumpling x20.

type="checkbox"> My
Allies Are My Strength

For
the next task, Sun Hwa wants you to hire a fourth mercenary to increase
your squad size. Again, you should already have a fifth unit if you
have been following this guide. Your reward is 100XP and 1500 gold.

type="checkbox">Clues

Sun
Hwa advises you to go see Jeon Woo-chi, who can teach
you Action:
Search All. As always, you can just follow the arrow to find the NPC
for your quest. The rewards include 120XP and 1000 gold.

To prove you are ready to learn
from him, Jeon
asks you to collect ten fresh meats from the Red Deer in the area. The
deer are straight up fighters that won't cause you any problems. Jeon
will give you 100XP and 1000 gold.

Now Jeon needs you to collect ten pieces of rough leather from
the
deer. He'll repay you with 100XP, 100 gold, and the Search All skill.

type="checkbox">Search
All

Predictably,
Jeon wants you to practice your new skill. He requires you to use it
battle one time and return to him. The payoff is 100XP. Use
the
deer to level up a bit. Try to get the last mercenary you hired
up to about level 9.  The rest should reach level 12 or so
along
the
way.

type="checkbox">Go
Back For Now

Jeon
Woo-chi has taught you what you need to know for now. He asks you to
return to Sun Hwa with Hellish Fairy's name, which is simply Fairy.
Doing so is worth 120XP.

type="checkbox">The
Hellish Spirit's Name

Type Fairy into the box when Sun Hwa asks you to name the
creature. You'll get 100 XP and Health Check License (Beginner) x2.

type="checkbox">Poor
Hellish Fairy

It's finally time to end the madness that has plagued the
Forest of
Spirits. Sun Hwa asks you to bring a fairy wing as proof Hellish Fairy
is dead. Before you battle her, you need to be ready.

Important:
Before engaging Hellish Fairy,
you should get your squad to levels 13 and 14. Your chance of surviving
the encounter, which displays when you enter the battle) is less than
50% if your squad is below level 14. Go back to the Mutated Trees, Red
Deer, and anything else to grind out a couple of levels. The time you
spend getting the extra XP will save you a lot of frustration in the
boss run. Also remember that the battle is both solo and timed. You
cannot get any help, and you have five minutes to win the battle.

Hellish Fairy's squad features a mix of the enemies you faced
in the
Forest of Spirits. You'll see fairies and Hell Soldiers and Warriors.

On your first turn, concentrate your frontline units on one of
Hell Warriors
first, and loot them with your healer. Meanwhile, use any archers
gunners you have (or the Cannon hero) to interrupt the fairies as they
attempt to cast Nike's.

On your second turn, use your spearman
(if you have one) to attack the center column to delay the actions of
the two Hell Soldiers up front. Squads without a spearman should
concentrate on the other Hell Warrior. If you have an archer or Bow
hero, cast Silence on Hellish Fairy before she can unleash her
devastating special attack, which hits all of your units. Use any other
range units to keep the fairies busy.

On
your third turn, try to kill both fairies and the second Hell Warrior.
Now you won't need to loot again since none of the mobs can revive.
It's okay for the corpses to decay. If you have a spearman with
Lightning Strike available, use it on the center column. If you have a
second archer, cast Silence again. The archers should alternate casting
Silence every two turns to keep Hellish Fairy to standard attacks.

Squads
with only one archer will take a shot from Hellish Fairy's special
attack. The only thing you can do is use your shaman to heal. Theories
in the forums say that arranging your formation very spread out will
keep members from being hit, but my testing proved those theories wrong.

If
Hellish Fairy gets to use the special attack more than once, you will
lose some units. Just try to whittle down her squad until only she is
left. Use Lightning Spear and Silence as often as possible to keep
depleting her action points while preventing her from using magic.

I
died four times in this battle with units under level 14. I went back
with four level 14s and a level 13 shaman and won on the first try with
some casualties. My squad is in the image above.

When Hellish Fairy falls, loot her wing and return to Sun Hwa
for 150XP, 2000 gold, and a Viking Summon Marble. Congratulations, you
beat the first boss!
