== Walkthrough ==
=== Octovines ===
{{see|Slay the octovine! (northgate), Slay the octovine! (eastgate), Slay the octovine! (westgate), Slay the octovine! (southgate)}}
After defeating an octovine, each of the other three octovines must also be destroyed within 2 minutes. If all of the other octovines are not destroyed, the octovine(s) will regain health and must be defeated again.

=== [[Enchanted Armor]]s ===
Enchanted Armors are used to support allies, control enemies, and clear Trigger Blossoms from the path of other players to successfully complete each mechanic to remove the octovines' slime protection. Additional enchanted armors are unlocked during the [[Trial by Fire]] activities.

=== [[Triggerblossom]]s ===
These blossoms explode upon death, inflicting damage and conditions. Enchanted Armors can use [[Heavy Weight]] to move them out of the way so the octovine can be reached by the necessary means to decrease its slime layers. Players are discouraged to attack them, as they can't use control effects to move them and it is against the general interest to destroy them, due to their explosive ability which could be counter productive to the event as a whole.
