You'll have time to undertake these bounties before the big finale, and they're a great way to level up your team to prepare them for the battles ahead. Here's everything you need to know about this bounty, including resistances, weaknesses, strategies, and our recommended party setup.

How To Unlock The 'The Cockatrice In The Clouds' Bounty

This bounty becomes available on 9/26 and can be accepted from any Recruitment Centre. There is no deadline for this bounty, but naturally, you do have the looming end of the game to be aware of.

You can only reach this location once you have unlocked flying, but fortunately, you will have that already, and it'll take one day to travel there.

Quest Prep

You can speak to the informant in The Greatest Catch inn in Port Brilehaven and purchase information on the Great Avian of the Manor for 3,500 reeve.

Obviously, we're going to give you the same tips, so feel free to save yourself some cash.

As the informant explains, Kokamordos will try and debuff your team and is weak to Ice, so aside from your usual party strategy prep, you may want to purchase some additional items on top of the usual range of healing consumables.

You should get some Revival Medicine/Balm of Life as Kokamordos can one-hit kill under the right (or rather, wrong) circumstances.

You can also buy some items that deal Ice damage from the Gloamhall in Grand Trad if you feel you might need some extra help.

Recommended Party Setup

There's a lot of leeway for party composition here, so feel free to use whatever you deem best. We've just broken down which setup we used and why.

Character

Archetype

Formation

Strategy

Protagonist

Prince/Seeker Lineage/Healer Lineage

Back

The Protagonist should be healing your party, and so really any Archetype would work providing you use the right inherited skills, such as Dekunda to remove debuffs. We also recommend ensuring you have Medica inherited from Healer to keep your party healed.

Any

Knight Lineage

Front

Someone from the Knight lineage (likely Hulkenberg) will great to act as a tank as well as providing Pierce damage, which the Kokamordos is weak to. Additionally, you'll then get Marakukaja too to buff your team's defences.

Any

Mage Lineage

Back

Having an Archetype from the Mage lineage will allow you to use Ice-based moves, but additionally, if your Protagonist is set as Prince, it'll unlock the Hadean Icecrag Synthesis Skill, which deals extreme Ice damage.

Any

Any Damage Dealer Archetype

Front

Choose whoever your strongest Damage Dealer is to fill this slot, taking into account the Kokamordos' weaknesses and attacks.

If you have any Ice-affinity weapons, equip those and you can also change up inherited skills for your team to include Ice-based moves.

Kokamordos use Fire and Dark attacks, so Archetypes and Equipment resistant to these are good. Having Marakukaja is a must.

How To Find Kokamordos Terror Of The Skies

Kokamordos Terror of the Skies is on the fifth floor of the Manor of the Ascendant - Principality of Oceana dungeon. We have a complete walkthrough of how to reach it right here. Thankfully, there are no other requirements needed in order to make it appear.

Dark attack to all party members.

Hell Thrust

Physical attack to one party member that decreases defense.

Gabouat

Fire damage to all party members.

Vidyartha

Sharply lowers one party member's Attack and Defence.

Peck of Death

Targets an ally without Rakukaja and one-hit kills them.

Mudodyne

Dark magic attack to one party member that has a chance of inflicting Insta-Death.

Battle Strategy

On your first turn, be sure to shore up your team's defences with Marakukaja straight away, then start hitting the Ice and Pierce weaknesses as much as you can.

Kokamordos will use a mixture of Fire and Dark moves, and will also use attacks that lower your party members' attack and defence, so be prepared to heal them and use Dekunda to remove any debuffs it casts on you.

Kokamordos will target allies without the effect of Rakukaja and use Peck of Death, so try and ensure you keep using Marakukaja to keep it applied at all times.

The battle should be fairly straightforward as long as you keep on top of Marakukaja and keep your party healed (with debuffs removed). Make the most of your Synthesis Skills to deal some hefty Ice and Pierce damage and before you know it, the Kokamordos will be toast.

Rewards For Defeating Kokamordos Terror Of The Skies

You'll earn 105,000 reeve as well as earning four points of Courage once you hand in the Bounty.

You'll obtain the Medic Greaves for defeating Kokamordos, as well as the Cockatrice Crest you'll need to hand in to complete the bounty.
