*Note that Azhdaha and the Primo Geovishap will only drop Vajrada Amethyst when they are infused with Electro.

Local Specialty – Locations for Frostlamp Flowers

In keeping with his lantern motif, Flins requires Frostlamp Flowers for ascension. These flowers are exclusive to Nod-Krai and can be found across all three islands introduced in the recent Nod-Krai patch. They are abundant along the eastern shore of Hiisi Island, on the eastern coast of Lempo Isle near Barrowmoss Barrens, around the Eye of Kratti, and plentifully near the Final Night Cemetery.

Additionally, players can cultivate more Frostlamp Flowers in their Serenitea Pot or purchase them from Richeza in Nasha Town.

Boss Drop – How to Acquire Precision Kuuvahki Stamping Die

This item, obtainable exclusively from the Knuckle Duckle boss encounter, is crucial for Flins’ ascension. The boss is located south of Aino’s workshop on Lempo Isle.

To defeat this enemy, utilizing Electro-Charged and Luna-Charged reactions is advantageous, although not mandatory. This synergy makes both Flins and Aino, a character who also depends on this boss’s drop, great options for this battle.

Enemy Drop – Locations for Landcruisers

Drive Shafts are exclusively dropped by various Landcruisers, which are currently only found in Nod-Krai. At higher levels, these enemies can yield enhanced items:

Talent Books – Vagrancy

The Vagrancy series of books from Nod-Krai is utilized for enhancing Flins’ talents. These can be collected in the Lightless Capital domain of Nod-Krai on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Trounce Materials – Ascended Sample: Queen

After completing the Paralogism Quest, players can challenge the Game Before the Gate trounce domain again. One of the drops from this encounter, the Ascended Sample: Queen, is essential for upgrading Flins’ talents.

Players who have yet to finish this quest can still enhance Flins using the Quick Challenge feature. This option, available from AR 40, allows you to take on locked trounce battles, though only in solo mode.
