Cqviu0lhg: removed condescending tone from Strategy. "so seriously" after instructions is unneeded and suggests the reader is no able to draw said conclusion from the strategy as stated. 'Twas a bit rude.

__NOTOC__
==Act 1==
===Enemies===
====[[Azulmagia (enemy)|Azulmagia]]====
*'''Endurance''': High
*'''Strengths''': --
*'''Weaknesses''': --
*'''Vulnerabilities''': --

===Strategy===
* '''{{action icon|Ice Spikes}}''': Opens with this move, setting up a permanent [[File:Physical Damage.png|24px]] physical-reflection barrier. You can get off one [[File:Physical Damage.png|24px]] physical attack if it's your very first move, after that only use [[File:Magical Damage.png|24px]] magic. Be careful about autoattacks, he reflects those too!
* '''{{action icon|The Ram's Voice}}''': Just like in {{questlink|dungeon|Cutter's Cry}}, an untelegraphed circle AOE that inflicts {{status effect|deep freeze}} [[Deep Freeze]].
* '''{{action icon|The Dragon's Voice}}''': Just like in Cutter's Cry, an untelegraphed donut AOE that inflicts {{status effect|paralysis}} [[Paralyze]]. Always uses this immediately after The Ram's Voice.
* '''{{action icon|Plaincracker}}''': A circle AOE centered on himself (so back off), followed by a series of donut AOEs. Inflicts {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]]. This covers a lot of the arena, especially since he can use another move during the donut AOEs, so move quickly.
* '''Apocalyptic Bolt''': Line AOE in front. Inflicts {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]].
* '''Apocalyptic Roar''': Cone AOE in front. Inflicts {{status effect|vulnerability up}} [[Vulnerability Up]].

==Act 2==
===Enemies===
====[[Azulmagia (enemy)|Azulmagia]]====
*'''Endurance''': High
*'''Strengths''': --
*'''Weaknesses''': --
*'''Vulnerabilities''': --

===Strategy===
Adds the following attacks to his repertoire:
* '''Repelling Spray''': Opens with this, setting up a permanent [[File:Magical Damage.png|24px]] magic-reflecting barrier. Be aware that you will also take reflection damage from non-damaging spells like {{action icon|Off-guard}}!
* '''[[Blazing Angon]]''' Summons adds that cast Burn and inflict {{status effect|burns}} [[Burns]], a stacking DoT. Destroy them with [[File:Physical Damage.png|24px]] physical attacks.

==Act 3==
===Enemies===
====[[Azulmagia (enemy)|Azulmagia]]====
*'''Endurance''': High
*'''Strengths''': --
*'''Weaknesses''': --
*'''Vulnerabilities''': --

===Strategy===
In this phase Azulmagia switches between both barriers, and there will be an electric puddle around the edge of the arena. Adjust accordingly. He now starts casting the following spells:
* '''Charybdis''': Summons four tornadoes that repeatedly cast circle AOEs on themselves and also wreck your visibility.
* '''Web''': Inflicts severe {{status effect|Heavy}} [[Heavy]], making it nigh-impossible to move without {{action icon|Loom}}. Move to the edge when you see this.
* '''Meteor''': Inflicts massive damage, definitely one-shotting you. Always casts immediately after Web, make sure you take {{action icon|Loom}}. Also leaves behind a flame puddle.
** Between this, Charybdis, and his normal attacks, you are not gonna have a lot of room to maneuver, which is why you want to move to the edge when you see him casting Web.
** Alternatively, Meteor can be tanked with {{action icon|Diamondback}}, though it's still advised to stay near the edge of the arena to minimize the amount of walkable area the burning field takes up.
** Meteor can also be escaped by using gap-closers such as {{action icon|Flying Frenzy}} or {{action icon|J Kick}}. However, the effectiveness of this depends on where Azulmagia is standing, so {{action icon|Loom}} is still preferred for consistency.

==Achievement tips==
To earn the achievement {{item icon|Something Borrowed}}, complete this stage with the following bonuses:
* '''Can't Touch This:''' Take no damage whatsoever.
* '''Too Fast, Too Furious:''' Complete the stage in less than the ideal time (7 minutes, 15 seconds)
* '''Ain't Got Time to Bleed:''' Restore no HP whatsoever. (Spells that change HP, such as {{item icon|Devour}}, will also nullify this)
* '''Total Mastery:''' Use spells with all six elements and all three physical damage types (Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Piercing, Slashing, Blunt).

"Total Mastery" is mostly a matter of bringing the right spell types, and using them as the fight starts. After that, the fight can be played somewhat normally.

Act 3 can be finished early with {{action icon|Final Sting}} or {{action icon|Self-destruct}} at around 60% HP - use the one that Azulmagia is not currently reflecting.
* Final Sting (physical) combo: {{action icon|Whistle}} + {{action icon|Moon Flute}} + {{action icon|Off-guard}} + {{action icon|Final Sting}}
* Self-destruct (magic) combo: {{action icon|Toad Oil}} + {{action icon|Bristle}} + {{action icon|Moon Flute}} + {{action icon|Off-guard}} + {{action icon|Self-destruct}}
