Cave of the Circle

Terrain Ability Wind Slash
Once again, you'll have to explore a dungeon in Mini form, so rely on magic to get you through. This is a good time to try out the Geomancer and Evoker Jobs (though not the Bard, since they are primarily a physical attack support Job). The Geomancer's Wind Slash is only a single-target attack, but it is highly effective against the high-HP Flyer Mages you'll find here.
