Players will encounter the difficulty of battling bosses like Yetuga and the Blade Phantom solo, but relief is on the horizon. In the third mission, within the Forgotten Temples at the Embars Ruins, you'll face the Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base. This battle occurs after you disable a magical device that siphons Netherworld energy. The Revenant is a hybrid clone of Khazan and the Blade Phantom. Defeating it unlocks the ability to summon the Spirit of Advocacy for future use.

Once unlocked, the Spirit of Advocacy can be summoned just before the final boss fight of each mission. Look for a golden glowing spot in front of the boss gate. To summon this ally, you'll need to use a Lacrima of Circulation, a rare item obtained by defeating other Revenants of Adversity, which now appear in each level. Make it a priority to summon and defeat these enemies whenever possible to secure the Lacrima of Circulation, as it's essential for the next step.

After completing the Forgotten Temple mission, return to The Crevice where you'll find the NPC Daphrona. Engage in conversation with her, and she'll offer the option to upgrade the Spirit of Advocacy using Lacrima of Circulation. You can allocate a specific amount of this resource to enhance the Spirit's health, damage, and stamina, making it a more effective ally during boss fights. It's advisable to farm additional Lacrima of Circulation, as this not only boosts the Spirit but also provides you with regular Lacrima for personal stat upgrades and Vengeance Points bonuses. Additionally, Daphrona can utilize destroyed Soulstones to grant further buffs, so be sure to explore this option as well.
