Terragrinder (ツチカヅキ or 土潜, Tsuchigazuki) is a giant demon that can first be fought in chapter 3. Named after its natural habits, the demon digs with its large fins and slides across the earth as though it were water.

Battle Data[]

When it loses about one-third of its health, it changes into a different form with different ways of attacking. If characters get too close to its body in either form, they can get hurt.

First Form[]

Stomps around as a bipedal beast.

  1. slams onto its belly and uses its fins to push itself. Glides across the ground.
  2. digs fins into the ground and crouches. Raises fins to hurl a large boulder in front of it.
  3. slams fin into the ground in front of it. Needs some time to recover from attack.
  4. rolls to hit fighters close to it.

Second Form[]

Dives into the ground as though it were water and "swims" around the field. Often underground until it emerges. Regrows dorsal fin, arms, and legs once if broken off from first form.

  1. resurfaces from underneath the ground momentarily before using its arms to dive back under. Damaging ground impact for those in range.
  2. propels itself high into the air from its underground burrowing. It is airborne for a few seconds before it lands and dives back under.
  3. spins to hit fighters from all sides.
  4. rises high into the air to conjure several boulders. Boulders slam the ground around it.

Strategy[]

To defeat the enemy in the first part of the battle, patiently reduce its health while avoiding its slow and predictable attacks. Cut off its arms to weaken its sliding attack and immobilize it when it pivots. Removing its legs will make its second form easier to handle. Tsuchigazuki becomes more challenging when it dives, so counter its attacks carefully from a safe angle. Spear users and spirit soul abilities can stop its diving motion, while archers can aim at its legs to knock it off balance. Use different weapons and turn off lock-on to encourage attacks. Slash weapons are best for cutting off arms, while pierce and crush work for the horn and tooth. Pierce is most effective for damaging its life points.

Parts[]

Drops are random. Broken body parts can be used to create Tsuchigazuki-themed weaponry and armor for the protagonist. Its weapons are Rank 3 fire types, and its armor offers high fire resistance when fully assembled.

Breaking off its horn and tooth during its secondary form increases the chances of obtaining a soul after the hunt.

Homuragazuki (ホムラカヅキ or 焔潜) is the stronger version of Tsuchigazuki. According to legend, Tsuchigazuki at one point of their existence will eventually burrow so deep into the earth that it hits magma. Its body melts away, but its spirit is reborn as a Homuragazuki. Players can first fight it within an optional mission in chapter 5.

Battle Data[]

Homuragazuki's attack patterns are nearly the same as its parent form except it has fire attacks. It juts rocks and fire balls when diving.

Strategy[]

Same as Tsuchigazuki, but be cautious of the secondary fire balls it uses to surround itself. Equip a soul which negates burning to minimize damage. Homuragazuki has higher defenses and life than its parent form, so it might be harder to chop off its body parts before killing it.
