Overview

Adventure Guide says

Devos begins her assault on the ground with the players. Upon reaching 70% and 30% she will slam the Archon's Spear into the Anima Conduit, locking it in place, before taking to the air to control the winds. Only by collecting the Raw Anima and returning it to the Archon's Spear can it be unlocked and used to bring Devos back into fight.

  • When Devos activates the Anima Conduit, your party will take a large amount of damage from the Unleashed Anima.
  • The party will take more damage from Lingering Doubt the longer Devos remains in the air.
  • The Archon's Spear remains locked until all orbs of Raw Anima are returned to it.
  • You must hit Devos with the Archon's Spear to bring her back down to the platform when she takes to the air.
  • Standing inside Kyrestia, the Firstborne's Archon's Bastion will greatly reduce the damage of Devos' Abyssal Detonation.
