Optimized Plans Farming

Note that both paths have the same number of guaranteed Bloodshed and Umbrage Plans, but the path specified for Bloodshed farming has a higher instance of random Bloodshed drops while the path for Umbrage farming has a higher instance of random Umbrage drops.

Bloodshed Plans

The following route will acquire 4-8 Bloodshed Plans and 2-4 Umbrage Plans. This is the best path for farming Bloodshed Plans in any area.

• F1: Poroggo Comtesse, teleport anywhere
• F2: Archaic Gear
• F3: West: Defeat Archaic Gears, then south, defeat Archaic Gear, teleport south
• F5: South: Defeat Mamool Ja Backstabber and Battleclad Chariot

Umbrage Plans

The following route will acquire 4-10 Bloodshed Plans and 2-6 Umbrage Plans. A better optimized path for farming Umbrage Plans can be taken in Arrapago Remnants II.

• F1: Poroggo Comtesse, teleport anywhere (This one doesn't drop Umbrage)
• F2: Archaic Gear
• F3: East: Defeat Archaic Gears, then north, defeat Poroggo Comtesse, teleport north
• F5: North: Defeat Mamool Ja Antiquary and Battleclad Chariot

• After clearing the entire center room with the exception of the Archaic Rampart on the north side, that Archaic Rampart will use Reinforcements to summon Hydra after engaging. It will only use Reinforcements once, and if the room has not first been cleared, it will not use Reinforcements (it will use other standard rampart TP moves). As long as it is kept alive, it will use Reinforcements once the rest of the room has been cleared. It is not necessary to defeat the Acroliths in the side rooms to spawn Hydra.
  • Hydra can use all Hydra TP moves including damage immunity Bulwarks and has access to Nerve Gas at low HP.

Seventh Floor

If Hydra was spawned on the sixth floor, the final boss, Enraged Alfard, will spawn upon entering the last room. If Hydra was not previously spawned, it will spawn here instead of Enraged Alfard.
