Read this encounter
Fly to the whirlpool beside Grandshelt’s large bridge and inspect the Vision Crystal. Carry multiple elements, a dedicated healer and protection. During the counter stance, use appropriate magic or recovery. An immunity transition is a cue to stabilize and inspect the next infusion with Libra.
Answer the dangerous action
Recover after Heartless Angel and large group HP loss. When Divine Proclamation begins the final meteor countdown, spend saved offense before expiry with Light if available, avoiding Dark. References disagree on middle-phase HP thresholds, so follow the visible status transition rather than an unsupported exact percentage.
After the battle
Victory grants the Sephiroth Vision. Record recruitment after the battle rather than treating access to the whirlpool or a phase transition as the unlock.
