Challenge Mission
Given that you have to chase the Ruler of the Sky, this mission will take a while, so be patient. In order to nab all 3 Challenge Sigils, you can't attack even once, so bring plenty of Fire Magic (as it is most effective) and Ethers/Elixers to refill them with. Fire works best while chasing it (so you can damage the tail), and Fira/Firaga can be used while it is stationary. As you can't use recovery magic, Elixers are your best bet. The Darker than Dark+ (Hazard gear+) or Crown of Guilt++ (phantom gear++) Keyblades work well here, as when equipped with all Magic Panels, they deal the greatest magic damage. Dodge the Ruler's attacks when you can, as since your level is capped at 40, you will take heavy damage if you're not careful.
