[-] Help citizens and find the boss!
Start by talking to the traveler nearby to help him and receive Medium Bottled Ethernano x2 as reward. You don’t need to fight all dragonlings here so continue forth and circle around towards the next NPC you have to rescue. Approach the dragonlings in front of him and defeat them in battle to receive a Large Salve as reward. Sneak past the dragonlings and head to the northeast to find the last NPC you have to rescue. Talk to her to receive a Revival Remedy.
From the last girl’s location, head to the west and find the small dead-end alley there that has a restoration point and a barrel with Delicious Candy (if you haven’t acquired this yet). Heal up, save your game, then continue towards the mission marker to finally face Zirconis.

Jade Dragon, Zirconis | None | None |
This is a standard boss battle, with Mira taking the role of the damage dealer, Wendy as support, and Lucy as backup support and attacker. Start by having Wendy cast her Arms magic to boost everyone’s ATK. Zirconis will seem to be interested in Lucy so if you want to play it safe, you can have her Guard and let Wendy and Mira do their thing. However, you can have Lucy attack if her HP is full to increase your team’s damage output. Keep an eye out for Mira’s MP as well. She’ll be using her most powerful attacks and consume a lot of MP in the process. It’s very possible for her to almost completely drain her MP before the battle ends so make sure to use a Bottled Ethernano to restore some of her MP.
Zirconis has some attacks that may heavily damage Wendy. His Jade Dragon Roar is an AoE attack that will pretty much require you to heal after enduring the damage. Keep attacking and healing until you fill up your fairy gauge. Immediately use a Magic Chain to heavily damage the boss. However, one magic chain alone won’t be enough to defeat this pervasive dragon. When enough damage has been dealt, Zirconis will just straight up seize Lucy and grab her, effectively removing her from your party until she’s released. Zirconis’ arm will have a separate HP gauge.
Deal more damage to the boss to rescue and release Lucy. However, before the dragon gets completely defeated, an unexpected ally will arrive. At this point, Zirconis should be hanging by a thread. Keep attacking and you should be able to defeat him within your turn.
