Defeat Lucretius.

Earned in the Trial of Instinct. There’s a pathway within that splits but one of them takes you a detour to a path of water where the golden koi swims in. You’ll see a shadow swimming around and approaching it will bring the giant fish out to speak. He’ll request an item, the Golden Topknot which can be found in of the chests in the Trial of Power. You can come back later if you don’t have it yet.

Defeat the Jaggedy Jacks.

Earned in the Trial of Time, this fight comes to you based on the time limit given by the bell sounds, similar to Sundown’s The Wild West chapter. Each bell makes the dungeon darker. Once the eighth bell rings, it’s time to fight as four enemies appear on the battlefield.

Be sure to have a set of fighters at least level 15 (aside from Cube), these enemies will pick you off if not careful. They have high attack power but low health points (HP) but don’t take them lightly. When you attack them, they will encounter so pick them off one at a time. Also be aware of the lightning tiles on the floor as those will heal your enemy. Oboromaru’s Death Blossom and Cube’s Maser Laser are great to utilize. Defeat Jaggedy Jacks and you’ll earn this trophy from the Dominion of Hate chapter.

Defeat the Death Prophet.

Once you flee on your last count, the screen will go red and you’ll go into battle.

This enemy is resistant to magic so make sure your physical attack fighters are wanted here (e.g. Pogo, Shifu). Oboromaru’s Death Blossom is another good attack for this panther. Defeat Death Prophet and you’ll earn the trophy.

Defeat the Headhunter.

In the Dominion of Hate chapter where you confront Odio the first time (located in Hate’s Triumph), he’ll ask you to come speak with him. Ignore this and retreat. Odio will speak and send you into a void. Walk around and a battle will start, the Headhunter appears.

Spread your party out as Headhunter’s attacks can quickly kill-off a member of your party easily. Not only does his attacks hurt a lot, he’s resistant to everything. Melee attacks and character ultimate moves (e.g. Shifu’s Heavenly Peaks Descent) are needed here. Have a party close or above level 20 (aside from Cube) to survive this one.

Ideally, Pogo, Oboromaru should be in your party with your attacks. Sundown and Cube are also helpful in this battle.
