Tip: If you have unlocked the Ranger job class, train one of your characters to LV7 so that he/she can learn Aquatic Slayer. This ranger skill will help tremendously with the next boss battle. Also, get some shields, even for your mages. This won't affect their effectiveness in casting offensive spells but will give them extra protection. |

Once inside the temple, head to the Water Altar and fight the boss waiting there.
Boss: Rusalka |
HP: 30,000 Weakness: Lightning, Absorb: Fire, FAM: Aquatic |

Start by using Examine on the boss. This will be very useful once it makes clones of itselt later on. The boss can use attacks that can lessen your defense rate at the same time. Watch out for its Seep attack. It will disappear for one turn and unleash an water-type all-party attack afterward, which multiple clones. When you see it do this, have your party go on Default to brace for the incoming attack. These clones are pretty hardy themselves so it will be better if you concentrate your attacks on the original then use Special attacks to pummel the original and the clones. Don't bother removing the clones since Rusalka can replenish them the next time it uses Seep. Avoid using specials that causes fire damage since it will just heal Rusalka and its clones. Aside from that, you have to quickly knock an ally to her senses if ever they've been charmed by the boss. |
After the battle, you'll have to go through the same ritual as you did for the Wind Crystal. After the sequence, you'll unlock another support ability slot for your characters.
