FIGHT OVERVIEW
  • This fight has only 1 phase.

  • You fight the 3 bosses at the same time but you can only damage one of them.

  • In order to deal damage to a Prince, they have to be empowered by a Darkfallen Orb, also greatly increasing their signature ability.

  • Every so often the Darkfallen Orb goes on another prince.
