The Limited Quests are more challenging to complete than regular quests, but you also get good rewards for completing them. Dentro is a wise man, and by completing the trials he designed for you, he will recognize you as an excellent Farmagia. You need to beat the boss he requested by venturing through the Sundown Forest: Zone 1 for his first trial.

Recommended Battle Preparations

The fact that you can only use a limited type of Battle Buddies to complete Dentro’s Trials makes them much harder, so for your first quest you can only use the Arkies available at the Ranch. You need to level them up to at least 11, especially if you are playing on hard difficulty settings. Make sure you also grow a lot of Arkies at your farm to deploy them in battle.

Arkies are Long-Range Attackers and are great at combo attacks; make sure to acquire Fairy Skills that will make them more efficient in combat. You should also focus on increasing your critical attack stats. Using the Black Fairy to call more Arkies from your ranch will also help you if you are short-handed.

Fairy Skills	Description
Raging Gale	You get greater Blitz damage when you have a B combo rank or higher.
Elemental Courage	Your damage might be underwhelming, so increase your Fusion damage to beat enemies quickly.
Demon Mantis Doom	It requires you to increase your combo rank to S, but you get a substantial damage boost.
Bloom of Strikes	Your Blitz Gauge will charge faster with combos and you will deal more damage.
Demon Mantis Strike	Make your combo rank A to get a critical damage boost.
Combo Strike	Continuous torrent of attacks deal more damage.

Grow some Research Buddies to get powerful United Forms for your Arkie. The most suitable one for this dungeon is Wind Arkie. However, if you put in some investment and level up your Arkies more, you can also equip the Hippogriff.

To complete the trial, venture through the Sundown Forest: Zone 1, till you descend to the boss floor to defeat the requested Forest Knight. On your way, you will come across some powerful enemies that you can only beat using your Arkies.

You can also try doing some Monster Nests if you have enough time before the boss battle. If you have enough Fairy skills, you can also take The Neural Road to Item Vines instead of Fairy Dens and obtain some great loot.

Try to focus on one enemy at a time to avoid damage received, as you can at least kill one of them before facing off the other.

Rock Golem	A tough enemy who will hit you with unblockable attacks, which you can block by Unite Counters.
Spottie	These are mobs who will attack you while they are teamed up, their attacks are light and can be easily blocked.

Muck Karkinos	A very formidable enemy with a lot of HP. It is known for its long-range attacks which you can avoid by getting away from the projected zone.

How To Beat Forest Knight

As you only have Arkies for this battle, you only have to resort to long-range combat for the battle against the Forest Knight. Luckily it doesn’t make any unblockable attacks, so it’s much easier to beat as long as you are careful enough to not get your Buddies killed.

It will slam its tail on the ground to do an attack which covers a large range on the ground. Often it might crush the ground on a smaller radius. Both of these attacks can be defended with Perfect Guard.

You should also be wary of its circular projected attacks where the Forest Knight attacks with wind. You can either Guard against it or move away from the projection. It might sometimes also throw three wind projectiles on you, which you can Perfect Guard before they land on you.
