In the Eastern corner lies the remains of a building, which you can check for a Discovery Point(“Husk of an Ancient Structure”) and a skit. You can explore some of the other paths, but you’ll have to come back again later once you have Edna’s map action unlocked to clear the boulders. If you collect the treasure chest holding an Elixir, you'll catch a skit about the mysterious substance. That information might be useful in the future...

Head to the star in the next area, and activate the save point just before it. Get ready for a boss battle!

This battle is easier than the battle against the Drake, but don’t let your guard down—literally. This hellion’s attacks are fast, have a sizable range, and are backed by a huge Arte Attack stat, so guard whenever you’re not pushing the attack. Getting caught by its swinging arms can easily whittle down a party member’s HP to zero, so keep a close eye on HP levels and administer gels or restorative artes as needed. It's resistance to Water and Fire will make Edna the better seraph to have in battle, but it is also weak to Non-Elemental artes and has extremely low Defense stats. As long as Alisha or Sorey consistently hit it with a Power Combo from their martial artes, the resistance shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Take out the smaller hellions first, as these little plants all feed power to the boss hellion through their Power Link. Focus on staying out of the way of the Evil Plantasm's attacks, and command your allies to spread out, minimizing the chances of more than one ally being attacked by the boss before you’ve had a chance to defeat the smaller plants.

Once you defeat it, Sorey will turn to the rest of the party in relief, unable to see the hellion's final attack. Mikleo and Alisha move to protect Sorey, and are swatted aside by the Plantasm. Sorey armatizes with Lailah to deal the finishing blow, but Alisha was almost killed by the last attack. Armed with the knowledge that Sorey is physically suffering from her inadequacies as a Squire, Alisha doubts her place at Sorey's side.

Mikleo titles: "Staff Wielder", "Water Master", and "Water Caster" increase in rank.

Marlind, the City of the Great Tree

Head back to the town and speak to Lucas again. Take some time to explore the town now that it’s restored, and then rest at the inn once you’re done collecting items, checking out Discovery Points, and configuring Lord of the Land Menu options.

While at the inn, the female assassin and Dezel pay the party a visit. They can’t understand why Sorey would leave town so suddenly after saving it, instead of staying to soak up the attention and fame. They leave as quickly as they came, and Sorey decides that his next stop will be in the Rolance Empire.

In the morning, make your way over to Rohan and Atakk to pay your respects before leaving the city. Alisha makes up her mind to stay behind, fulfill her duties as a Hyland Princess and Knight, and to ensure that a human is found who will properly revere the Great Tree and Seraph Rohan in order to maintain the blessing. Sorey accepts her decision, and Alisha leaves the party.

For completing the restoration of Marlind, Edna receives the costume "Sweet Girl: Alt. Color". Mikleo also learns the Support Talent: "Remedy Preparation".
