When the Imperials are done with, you’ll finally be able to speak with the Titan. With that in mind, consider warp-striking the sniper to put him out of commision and let loose a blast of electric magic to stun all the swordsmen (the Storm Lance works equally well against them - as the swordsmen are weak to polearms too.) They also have a big weakness to electricity. If you haven’t been ambushed by swordsmen before while exploring Duscae, know that they can pack a punch and don’t go down as easily as their human counterparts.

Grab the last Mega Potion on the left before you come to a clearing where the Magitek Swordsman wait with one Imperial Sniper. Gladio will give you a stern talking to - but don’t worry, his speech will actually strengthen Noctis! As you move down the ledge to another fire deposit, Ignis will call to warn about approaching Imperial Troops. Tours are short sidequests involving unique moments with Noctis and an ally. Completing sidequests yields achievements and trophies, the best one being Weaving a Tapestry after 80 completed quests. They often provide rewards in EXP, items, weapons or accessories. They can involve many different types of objectives. There’s a Mega Phoenix just down the path next to a Lightning and Fire Deposit (they really want you to stock up on this stuff if you didn’t already - so if you get full, why not do some Elemancy and use up your flasks?) Grab the Megalixir to the left of the Fire Deposit, then head to the narrow path ahead. Sidequests are optional quests in Final Fantasy XV. Due to that it's easy to mostly ignore the Armiger feature, and everything it can do for you.

Finish crossing the ledge and continue into the next section of the path. Final Fantasy XV has a unique and fluid Battle system with a lot of moving parts. Gladio will lead you across a narrow ledge, but not before the Archaean tries to take a swipe at you from under the meteor. The next area is full of fiery stones, so try your best to dodge them and look to pick up Sharp Tail Feathers as you go to the next area where one more fire deposit is. After taking out the birds, check the ledge to find more fire deposits along with a lightning deposit as well, then keep moving forward.
