PSA: Make sure to get all 2 OP Shield Pictos

[Grandork]

Once you have Esquie able to swim, you should B line to Dark Shores and pick up In Medias Res (just dodge the enemies). This gives you 3 Shields in exchange for 50% of your health (like HP does anything).

Once Esquie is able to break Coral, you should B line to The Crows and kill the boss there.

The boss has a lot of HP (770k) and is a flier, so make sure to get your setup ready. He only has 2 Attack Patterns, so the fight is very easy.

This will give you Shielding Death, which applied 3 Shields to allies when you die. Yep. We in Shield Central now.
