Players familiar with the struggle of battling bosses like Yetuga and the Blade Phantom without assistance will find relief in the third mission. At the Forgotten Temples in the Embars Ruins, after disabling a magical device that siphons Netherworld energy, you'll encounter the Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base. This enemy, a hybrid of Khazan and the Blade Phantom, must be defeated to unlock the ability to summon the Spirit of Advocacy.

Once unlocked, you can summon the Spirit of Advocacy right before the final boss fight of each mission. Keep an eye out for the golden glowing spot in front of the boss gate. Summoning requires a Lacrima of Circulation, a rare item dropped by defeating Revenants of Adversity, now found throughout the levels. Make it a priority to summon and defeat these enemies to collect Lacrima of Circulation, crucial for the next step.

After completing the Forgotten Temple mission, return to The Crevice and speak with the NPC Daphrona. She offers the option to upgrade the Spirit of Advocacy using Lacrima of Circulation. By investing these resources, you can enhance the Spirit's health, damage, and stamina, making it a more effective ally during boss fights. It's wise to farm more Lacrima of Circulation, as they also contribute to upgrading your own stats alongside Vengeance Points bonuses. Additionally, Daphrona can utilize destroyed Soulstones to grant you further buffs, so be sure to explore this feature as well.
