Once there, head all the way to the East onto the Elevator. When there, head North. You will find a pair of Dullahans waiting for you. These are fairly strong But weak to Nova, Spirit, Fiend and Paralysis. They like to inflict paralysis and are physically tough. Still, focus on their cryas defense and they will drop quickly, or would if not for their solid amount of HP! Continue onwards after that to find an elevator to the West. Take it down and go to the East. Head South to find another pair of elevators but you just want what is between them. This chest has an hourglass inside it. Take a moment to go South and collect the chest there as it contains 2 Life Bottles. Now you can head down one more level.

With close to or over 90,000 HP, this is going to be a long fight. While it will not attack a lot, it does make quite a punch when it does. Balance your team between aggression and support. With that, this fight will only be a lit long. At the end of the battle you will get a key item for Asbel.

Now start heading back to the last set of elevators and go to the West. You will be treated to a scene from Lambda's past. Continue West to find a chest with 825 units of Eleth. Turn South there and continue onwards. Take the Warp to move on.
