Starting the Quest
Head to MagMell’s dining room where Lise stands beside Josee. Initiate conversation and select “Catch Up” to trigger the quest. She explains hostile creatures have invaded the Sunken City and requests your assistance dealing with them. The quest immediately splits into two dangerous combat missions.

Request 1: Defeat the Corroded Scar Predator
Travel to Checkpoint Ruins in the Sunken City’s northeast. From the Checkpoint Ruins Mistle, head north toward the pond and pass through the boss wall.
Combat Strategy: This boss uses fast rush attacks and rolling charges in predictable patterns. Learn its rhythm, time your dodges, and exploit telegraph windows. After victory, return to MagMell and report to Lise.
Request 2: Vanquish the Wandering Specter
Travel to Sunken Pylon, then advance to Aquarium Mistle. CRITICAL: Lise must be your active partner or the quest won’t progress.
Beyond the barrier awaits the Wandering Specter.
Combat Strategy: This boss uses pressure tactics and teleportation. It fires tracking beams, inflicts Stone buildup up close, and teleports for surprise attacks. Maintain distance, exploit teleport recovery windows, and dodge the energy waves carefully.
According to Game8’s guide, defeating this boss unlocks Lise as recruitable partner.
Claiming Your Rewards
After the second boss falls, return to MagMell and speak with Josee (not Lise) to complete the quest. You’ll receive:
- Vanishing Hollow (special item)
- Lise Anjou unlocked as recruitable partner

FAQs
Can I complete Lise’s requests in a different era?
No, both boss fights must be completed during the 2187/2197 Free Exploration Era or the quest won’t progress properly.
Do I need Lise as my partner for both boss fights?
Only the Wandering Specter fight requires Lise as your active partner; the Corroded Scar Predator can be fought with any companion.
