    Just a note, this achievement won't trigger if you speak with Tret first, even if you don't enter the dungeon. Possibly if you enter Kolima? Not sure. I don't care, but it would have been nice for it to be indicated properly somewhere.

    You just need to be around level 13 and just remember Saturos has 1,300 hp.

    This triggers at the same time the beacon of light achievement triggers.

    After beacon of light achievement comes up.

    It seems to work fine for me, I spoke with Tret in Kolima and then went back to the Lighthouse and it triggered.

    can i enter the tret dungeon to get the wind djinni and then go to mercury lighthouse?
    RDPateau 3 Oct 2021 18:04
    ok i can confirm, you can go into the tree and get the djinni, then get out and go to the lighthouse, just avoid talking to tret, also the djinn in kalima is safe as well
    Elolawyn 12 Jun 2023 13:59
    Yeah, I can confirm as well. As @RDPateau said, go to Kolima to get venus djinn, then to Kolima Forest. Get inside Tret but don't speak to anyone. Get all treasures and Jupiter djinn. Then use Escape psynergy twice and go to Mercury Lighthouse.

    I managed to defeat Saturos at level 10 by changing djinn so Ivan is the healer (always heal first).

    i beat him at level 10 with matching djinn and not go to kolima forest
    maybe i just got lucky

    So, this is how i found out this was not the intended path. i thought you where supposed to fully clear the tower. due to the sign saying no entery

    Didn't realize I couldn't Retreat out of the top of the Lighthouse so I sort of made a dumb mistake and had to fight Saturos at level 9 on Isaac, Garet, and Ivan. Isaac and and Garet were running around with armor pieces from The Vault and the town after that, and I only changed one piece of Ivan's armor.

    All you need to do is swap Flint from Isaac to Ivan and Gust from Ivan to Isaac. Put Gust on Standby and this will let Isaac use Cure again. As long as you don't summon Gust you keep this state. This gives Isaac, Ivan, and Mia the ability to heal your party.

    If you're stuck at this low level like me then generally my strategy went:
    1) Ivan always goes first so heal whoever is lowest.
    2) Have Isaac preemptively heal someone if you're at full (I usually picked either him or Ivan) since he typically goes after Saturos does something.
    3) Garet uses whatever Djinn is available and then when they're both on standby do the 2 summon.
    4) Mia should use the attack debuff Djinn first and then the HP one the next turn. Decide between Ply or doing the 2 summon next.

    Everything after that is up to luck if Saturos does Eruption, Fireball, the Heat attack, or a normal attack and who he targets. He typically doesn't pick a character who can die with a single target attack from the three tries it took me so it's really just maintaining your HP and trying to get out the summons with Garet and Mia. Mia in particular does like 170 damage with the summon whereas Garet does about 120.

    This is the first missable achievement in the game. Tret is the tree dungeon so don’t worry about missing anything until you get here. You will have to go find the lighthouse first then comeback to complete this dungeon.
