Izahra the iron wall.
Northern Forest (Falthemnar Fenlands)
The North Forest.
The Northern Forest is a relatively small dungeon, serving as a hub between Falthemnar and the Dark Forest. At the end, a boss battle against Alphyn the Electric Beast took place. Like all the previous boss, Alphyn is no pushover, especially since Valadin is weak to thunder. It boasts clock up ability, which increases his turn ratio.
