What to bring against this boss

A party from all 38 heroes of the game, at level 1 and without stars — so what shows is the hero, not the investment in them.

Aurora — Ether
Cassius — Order
Costean — Order
Ortan — Order
Solein — Order

Why this party

the boss inflicts effects — cleansing cancels them at once
Order hits the chapter's school for ×1.5
the rage turns on at 50% health — shields and barriers are worth more
the party has team healing
the party has a tank

Opening

Deeper than memory lies a garden where the first living light first flared — before Life, before its name.

But that light has long ceased to warm: over the garden stands the Shade of the First Light, drinking it and leaving grey shoots. I go to where breath itself was born.

Ending

The Shade drew back, and a single sprout broke through the ash.

Its light finds a voice — Livea, Songstress of the Source: "I sang to this garden until it fell silent. You gave me back my song — lead on."

The garden breathes again — but the grey runs deeper still, and it is as old as light.
