Boss: Rusalka - 02:46
Somnus Reef is a pretty big map with lots of treasure chests - and a pretty nice theme, it does sound more like an ice area than seaside, but I guess they couldn't fit one in the game.
The enemies of this area are pretty nasty and Ignis with INT + Fire enhancing equipment is EXTREMELY recommended to get through. Even with it you should tread lightly here as some parts of the map are full of dangerous enemies.
The rare random chests (green, glowing) have a chance to give the Wind Ring which is good for Slash glyphs (Pneuma, Confodere, Ascia). Combine with Reinforced Suit and Strength Ring and Combat Boots for the best results (later on Barbarian armor set).
Rusalka is the boss of this area and you fight her in the near the end of this map, she isn't too bad, but will tear you a new one if you aren't careful. She has some pretty damn fast attacks, like her hair whip, and that makes fighting her head on very difficult and dangerous. If you're not sure you can handle her use Sapphire Pins to lessen the Water damage she can deal.
The best way to kill Rusalka regardless of if you're using magic or weapon glyphs is bait her into using the water hose attack by standing above the boss, she may also use the Maelstrom attack too. Either way those attacks leave her wide open for quite a while and she doesn't act right after it ends.
