Players will quickly become familiar with the challenges of battling bosses like Yetuga and the Blade Phantom solo. However, relief is on the horizon as you progress to the third mission at the Forgotten Temples in the Embars Ruins. Here, you'll encounter the Revenant of Adversity at the temple's base after you disable a magical device that's siphoning Netherworld energy. This Revenant is a hybrid of Khazan and the Blade Phantom. Defeating it is your key to unlocking the ability to summon the Spirit of Advocacy in future encounters.

Once you've unlocked the summoning ability, you'll need to know when to call upon the Spirit of Advocacy. It's available just before each mission's final boss fight, signaled by a golden glowing spot in front of the boss gate. To summon it, you'll need to use a Lacrima of Circulation, a rare item obtained by defeating other Revenants of Adversity found throughout the levels. Make it a priority to engage and defeat these enemies to secure more Lacrima, as they're crucial for the next step.

After conquering the Forgotten Temple mission, head back to The Crevice where you'll find the NPC Daphrona. She offers the service to upgrade the Spirit of Advocacy using Lacrima of Circulation. Investing these resources will enhance the Spirit's health, damage, and stamina, making it a more potent ally during boss fights. It's wise to farm additional Lacrima to boost the Spirit's abilities while also collecting regular Lacrima and Vengeance Points for your own stat upgrades. Don't overlook Daphrona's ability to harness destroyed Soulstones for additional buffs, which could further enhance your gameplay.
