ENTER SESTREN
=============
Once you enter Sestren's realm, you will be unable to leave it until the end of
the game. This is not really a problem, though, as when you open your save-game
file after finishing the game, you will restart from the save-game point just
outside the door to 1F North, that you just passed. It is definitely worth
saving your game before you go to Sestren, in case you have difficulties there
and need to restart. The elevator on 1F North will take you down to B1F, from
where, in a cut-scene, Azel will open the gate to Sestren.

{4.26} SESTREN

FIGHT THE ANTI-DRAGONS
======================
Sestren's realm is a strange void of shifting colours and nonsensical patterns.
On arrival, you will find yourself surrounded by the five Anti-Dragons; corrupt
versions of your own dragon's past forms. Access each of them in turn to fight
them. After each battle, you will return to the Sestren void, giving you a
chance to prepare for the next fight. To stay safe, watch out for when your HP
drops into the yellow zone between battles. When it does, top it up with HP
replenishing items or berserk techniques. You need to conserve a fair amount of
BP for the battle with the final Anti-Dragon, but there is nothing left to save
any items for.
>>> IMPORTANT NOTE <<<
======================
Here, at the game's end, is where your Level matters more than ever. With no
safe zones in any of these battles, the fights basically come down to you and
the Anti-Dragon shooting at each other. If your Level is not sufficiently high,
you will inevitably take too much damage and/or be too slow to achieve the
Excellent grades. A Level of 55 or above should be enough to see you through,
but much lower than that and you will run into difficulties.
Fortunately, you now have possibly the best Levelling Up gauntlet in the game:
the Anti-Dragons themselves. After you finish the game, you get the opportunity
to save. If you continue from this save-game file, you will find yourself at
the bottom of the Tower again. Despite having unlocked some hidden extras, (see
Section 4.28,) the game world will be just as it was before you entered
Sestren.
This means that you can go in there and fight the Anti-Dragons (and Sestren)
again, save your game again, and repeat. You can rack up experience points and
Levels this way, until you are at a sufficient Level to get the Excellent
grades here. Remember to return to your camp to recharge your HP and BP after
each of these repeat runs. So, if you are not above Level 55 yet, don't worry;
you can always just repeat these battles later, when your Level is higher.

SUB-BOSS: ANTI-BASIC WING [Anti-Basic]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Just stay in one of the two zones that is not red, and keep shooting the Anti-
Basic Wing with your Pulverizer. If all zones go green, it means that the Anti-
Basic Wing is getting ready to use a Heal-Maxis on itself to regain some HP, so
just keep shooting regardless. It might hit you a few times before it is
destroyed, but this is by far the easiest Anti-Dragon battle to get an
Excellent for.

SUB-BOSS: ANTI-VALIANT WING [Anti-Valiant]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Again, your Pulverizer is best for this battle. If you fire your first gauge
off straight away, you will be able to hit the Anti-Valiant Wing before it
morphs into a Defense Class dragon and thus becomes more resilient to damage,
but this shouldn't make too much of a difference.
When unsafe and dangerous zones appear, as in the last battle, just stay in the
unsafe ones and keep shooting away. The unsafe and dangerous zones will switch
periodically, so pay attention to the radar and reposition accordingly. When
all zones go green, it means that the Anti-Valiant Wing is powering up a
Protection Wing (or, later, Shield) to make itself even harder to damage, so
just keep firing. When it has finished doing this, the unsafe and dangerous
zones will appear again, and you can go back to your previous routine.
Eventually, the Anti-Valiant Wing will be destroyed.

SUB-BOSS: ANTI-STRIPE WING [Anti-Stripe]
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
If you don't enter this battle with pretty high HP, you could have serious
difficulties, so remember to heal yourself before this battle, and the ones to
