The Temple Path is on the island north of the Eastern Shadowlands. It’s a pretty short path, but the Redcaps can wreak a lot of havoc if you’re not prepared. They use Paralysis a lot, so either stock up on Paralysis Erasers, or buy a couple of amulets to protect against it.

Your first Boss battle will occur after the screen where you find the Spirit Potion of the Elves and the Wind Crystal.

Boss Battle

Assassin x4

• 1200EXP/2200G/2AP
• Drop: None
• Steal: Extra-Special Potion of Life (x4)

The Assassins are actually pretty easy to kill - if your deadliness gauge is full.

Two Sacred Ark attacks, plus one of Karin's Poison Gem, will almost completely annihilate them. (Ryle and Rumil's Finishing Move.)

You can also use one Sacred Ark, and one of Karin and Rumil's moves - either Violent Water, or Violent Wind.

There’s another Boss battle coming up, but you’ve got plenty of time to refill your deadliness gauge.

Afterwards, Royneed says he's certain the assassins were looking for him, and he apologizes for not warning you that something like this might happen.

There's a couple treasures on the next screen, and on the screen after that, Elrona shows up and rambles on about Denoas just being a "thing" to be tossed away once he's served his purpose. Then, you get to fight her.

Boss Battle

Elrona

• 1000EXP/2500G/5AP
• Drop: Healing Bowstring
• Steal: Spirit Potion of the Elves

Now that you have Healing Wind, Holy Breath is not as important as it was before, so you don't need to worry about saving your deadliness gauge.

Start out using Berserk, Critical Up, Poison, and Weapon Breaker, while Rumil uses either Sniper's Arrow or Windcutter. Use Healing Wind as needed (probably every other turn or so), and don't forget to steal!

Once Ryle and Denoas are thoroughly set, use two Raging Wraths, and use a Grandcross or Vilsugia Punish whenever you can, and you shouldn’t have too much trouble winning this fight.

If Elrona starts "Gathering Magic," make sure everyone's HP is high - even if you have to use Holy Breath to do so. On her next turn, she'll use Apocalypse, which will kill everyone if you're not prepared for it.

After this battle, go west to exit to the Temple.
