“I’m following his trace as I think he’d be the closest person to the source of the great disaster. I’ve never met him in person, but I can tell by the trace that it’s really a disaster!”

I made this thinking I’ll use it on my post and I realize it just takes up too much space so why don’t I post it here without any context and let you guys enjoy this simple creation.

Guide to Halted Sun’s Memory

by yours truly

Hi. This is a guide to Halted Sun’s Memory, specifically, the boss in Halted Sun’s Memory, Solace before he turned dark and brooding. and sexy

The red circled area denotes the teleportation pad where the left one will teleport to the right one and vice versa.

About Solace:

Like all the other Elysion bosses, he is immune to debuffs.

Please tell me you knew this already.

When he’s using some of his signature skills (and not combo/commands) he has significantly high defense.

You’re going to need to use def-ignoring skills. And no, your piercing is probably not going to work, and no, your wind orbs don’t work either.

That means he is most vulnerable when he’s busy attacking you or someone else.

He’s super-armor during his combo and it’ll be hard for you to attack him when he’s slashing at you, but you can use that to your advantage; wait til he targets one of your teammates or bait him and quickly avoid his combo by using evade skill. He’ll still be mid-comboing and won’t be able to turn around and attack you. 

He leaves a disgustingly painful “after image” of himself that flashes in red. It is like a stationary bomb. If you get too close it will detonate. THEY. HURT.

You have to constantly hit him so that his [Mark of Light] gauge won’t go up. The yellow bar underneath his HP bar is that gauge. You don’t want this gauge to fill up.

Solace, like in his Fortress, likes to teleport around a lot. So instead of chasing after him, wait around and try to lure him to you, and be ready to attack when he shows up (he’ll usually teleport next to you and start his super-armor combos). He’ll also frequently teleport to either end of the platform... So keep an eye on the Boss location marker and listen... carefully to his words. Depending on what he says, you can tell which skill he’s going to cast and you can be prepared for them.

Now on to his actual skills... Note: His actual lines must be different in NA but I couldn’t stand some of them so I changed them.

Solace’s Skills

1. Solar Beam 어떤 것이 너의 정의인가, 이곳에서 보여봐라 What is your Justice? Show me.

He will have teleported to either end of the map, which means you have to run to the opposite end of where he is standing. Then you will have teleported right behind him and can dish out your def-ignoring skills. You won’t be able to approach him in the direction of where he is because of powerful gusts of wind that will knock you back. As SOON as you see him spit out his line, go to the opposite end of the map.

He leaves his ugly afterimage after Solar Beam, so DO NOT CHASE AFTER HIM AFTER THIS SEQUENCE.

2. Solar Flare 돌아봐라. 무엇이 너를 여기까지 이끌었는지를 Look back and think about what lead you here.

"Solace will surround himself with a fire shield that pushes players away which many eruptions of fire burst out all over the stage.” (Elwiki). His shield grants him over 90% defense ignore. But you can’t just sit there and avoid his attacks; you have to constantly hit him because of the aforementioned [Mark of Light].

3.  Solar Eruption 네가 스스로 깨닫지 못한다면 의미없는 짓이다. If you don't realize it on your own, then there's no point.

"Solace will cause a single eruption from under a player.” (Elwiki). Solace teleports to the middle of the platform and causes eruption that will stun... and heal his HP. 

But

when he says “세계를 짊어질 각오가 되어있나” (Are you prepared to bear the burden of the world?), he will move on to.. sort of a 2nd phase, and when he does he won’t use this pattern to heal his HP anymore, only relying on the next skill instead:

4. Flash of Death There’s no need for words from others. Accomplish it in your own thoughts. Your will makes the decision. 타인의 말은 필요없다. 너의 생각으로 관철해라. 선택하는 것은 너의 의지다.

"Using three bars of his power gauge, Solace teleports to the center of the stage and creates a blinding flash of light. This light will deals a large number of hits and cannot be mana broken.” (Elwiki). 

He uses this skill when his [Mark of Light] is full.

Except there IS a way to avoid this death. Use long-delay skills. I mean skills like LP’s Supersonic, CN’s Blackhole. Only problem with these are that you have to time it pretty well. If you try to use it by the time you hear the mult-hit noise, you’re too late. Hyperactives work well for this as well, but since you can’t spam it as often, it’s not that great. Ain has his Abschluss. GA has her Ace in the Hole; she’s invincible while she’s casting it. POWER OF ORIAX.

I think that covers everything. This dungeon is much less stressful than Solace’s Fortress, and I actually enjoy this dungeon quite a lot. I think I’ve ran it about 100 times now... But that’s probably because I can kill him with 4 Iron Scraps lmao

Ciel: “A really interesting guy. He will overcome adversities, and one day be laughing in the future. I’ll treat him to cookies.”
