If you don't have Temtem strong enough to beat the shrine or kill the Zenoreth, you can ask people to help in Coop to kill them, either in Global chat or in Discord. So while they will be more dangerous, that automatic loss of 30% HP can help kill them before they do anything. Most of the time Zenoreth will use Madness Buff on turn 1 anyways, which will make it lose 30% HP and gain ++SpAtk and ++SpDef. Mudrid and Vulcrane are great options for being resistant to Crystal (1/2 for Mudrid and 1/4 for Vulcrane) and being able to do high damage back. If you have a Temtem strong enough to defeat them (they are weak to Earth/Fire/Melee), then this can be an amazing leveling spot for new Temtem.Ĭrystal is resisted by Fire and Earth, so Temtem with those types are great here. In it, you'll encounter wild Tuwai (lvl 5-10) at a 5% encounter rate and wild Zenoreth (lvl 50-55) at 95% encounter rate. This is where you can evolve a Tuwai into a Tuvine (Wind/Crystal) if you'd like, but mainly it's for the grass. If you can beat all 4 NPCs it'll unlock access to the shrine itself. Their Temtems range from lvl 33 to lvl 44. It can have 2 types and the 2nd type can be whatever you want, but 1 of its types needs to be Crystal. but there's a catch: You can ONLY use Temtem with a Crystal typing. They don't fight just by walking in front of them, you have to talk to them to trigger the fight. The area is called the 'Sons of Crystal' and there will be 4 NPCs there to fight. Near the end of the third island after you have a method to cross gaps, there's a spot on the far right of the island (near where the ship crashed) where the Crystal Shrine is located (map: ). If you want to spend the time to grind out freshly hatched Temtem to match your level, they would technically be stronger since their evolved forms usually have better stats, better techniques and a better Trait. Just make sure to keep type weakness/resistance in mind and you should be fine. If you are just playing through the story it shouldn't be a big problem to catch higher leveled first forms.
