Krao Cave guide
Krao Cave has 3 bosses (Neglected Gadioton, Enhanced Harcon and Ultimate Berk). The game's own guide warns about 2 of their attacks during the Exploration run; the boss cards below quote each warning with the skill, its cast time and what it does. Ultimate Berk goes into Frenzy after 5:00 and 4:00 of combat. The walkthrough lists the guide's 11 route steps in order.

The guide's briefing (9 lines)
A Daeva, kru? It's not often you meet someone so fearless these days.
I am Shulak Phazkhi, of the Shuliman Expedition, kru. We ally with various forces and assist on dangerous dungeon campaigns.
Did you come here knowing about this cave, kru?
Krao is a red mineral that repels external forces.
The Balaur or the Lepharist use it to craft gear because it's affected by Drana, kru.
Even the creatures in the cave have mutated under the influence of Drana.
Anyway, I've been waiting for a Daeva like you, kru. Only reckless Daeva like you can still explore new places.
I'll tell you the information I've gathered first. Then you might find a worthy reward at the end of the cave, kru.
Understand, kru? Just listen to me and everything will be fine!
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.
