Hall of Illusion guide
Hall of Illusion has 3 bosses (Nazarak, Glassvein and Nathara). The game's own guide warns about 6 of their attacks during the Exploration run; the boss cards below quote each warning with the skill, its cast time and what it does. Nathara goes into Frenzy after 5:00 of combat. The walkthrough lists the guide's 21 route steps in order.

How it's counted
Bosses are listed above in the order this route first names them.
- 1
The entrance is right here.
- 2
Illusion Specters possess the power of division, kru. When you kill one, another one will appear!
That new specter will vanish after a while, but until then it will chase you all over!
- 3
A powerful being is just ahead. Make sure you're ready, kru.
- 4
Don't forget to bind with the Kibelisk, kru!
- 5
It's Nazarak, newly freed from the mirror!
- 6
It can't be nice being stuck in that mirror, kru. It would be a kindness to kill her once and for all.
Let's keep on going, kru!
- 7
Deeper and deeper! Don't forget to bind with the Kibelisk, kru!
- 8
You need to shatter the mirror to go farther, kru.
- 9
The illusion veil is coming! Don't let it touch you, or you'll fall into an illusion!
Shatter the mirror before the veil touches you!
- 10
Phew, you made it, kru! Now hurry inside!
- 11
Even an Illusion Specter can't withstand the power of illusion within the mirror!
Lure the specters toward the mirror, kru!
- 12
Glassvein is inside. Once an Illusion Cavalier, now she's just another Sura, kru!
- 13
Sounds smart to bind with the Kibelisk first, don't you think?
- 14
When Reda's most loyal underling died, she immediately revived her as a Sura, kru!
- 15
Good job, kru! Keep going this way!
- 16
Now be brave and jump down! Gliding will let you land safely, kru.
- 17
Nice landing, kru! Bind with that Kibelisk and get going!
- 18
Another mirror blocking the way. Hurry up and smash it!
- 19
An Updraft, kru! Ride it upward!
- 20
You're almost at the end of the Hall of Illusion. Bind with the Kibelisk and go in, kru!
- 21
Look! An Odyle Energy Cube, kru!
The guide's briefing (7 lines)
Kru!? Do my eyes deceive me? Is that you, ‹your name›?
Fancy meeting you here! I thought you were another illusion! It's hard to keep a grip on reality in here, kru.
Welcome to the Hall of Illusion, built by Reda, chosen High Priestess of Empyrean Lord Kaisinel.
She was once a woman of great talent, until she lost her daughter, and subsequently her mind. Just look at this place.
There's also Division Mirror here. You might recognize it from the Fire Temple, kru.
Just like Kromede found herself divided, the High Priestess has suffered the same fate!
Let's get started then. Just remember to be careful, kru!
How this page is made
Game files (client 2026.10.21 (Steam build 26077854, 2026-10-21)): the lines the game shows when a boss casts or uses a skill, gets a buff, starts or dies (NpcBehaviorCase → NpcTalk: “Guide” = the Shugo guide's hint in the Exploration run, “Boss” = the boss's own shout), the skill's name, cast time, cooldown and range (Skill), the buffs and debuffs it applies with the game's text (SkillEffect → SkillAbnormal), the Frenzy timer (NpcData.BossBerserkInvokeTime) and the stagger. Many boss skills are only called “Attack” in the files; those cards are named by their effect or by the action they ask for. HP thresholds are not in the client.
The action label on each card is our reading of the guide's line, by its words: the first that matches of “Big alone, small together”, “Stagger it”, “Stop attacking”, “Break free”, “Climb up”, “Jump”, “Take cover”, “Block it”, “Lure the boss”, “Colours”, “Kill it first”, “Stack up”, “Spread out”, “Find the gap”, “Get in”, “Move out”, “Burn it down”. The line itself is the game's.
