Part of the storyline arc that brings Hero his Luminary powers back coupled with fresh new skills (that he doesn't have the ability points to learn lol). You face two bosses and a minor fixed battle in the process, all of which I will show.

The Restless Knight is a legitimately tough opponent, one they seemingly forgot to nerf in the Switch version. The testament to that lies in his 3 actions per turn, something even Dora-in-Grey didn't have up to this point. Should push come to shove, Restless Knight can happen to get a turn immediately following his own, resulting in six actions in a row. This is about as devastating as you'd imagine, with powerful physical attacks, Curse and Kasnooze and two AoE attacks being thrown around with consistent regularity.

There's a very high risk of somebody dying and everybody needs to have Yggdrasil Leaves ready to revive fallen allies (happens twice here). It's an easily available resource thanks to Puerto Valor's casino (which has the current most powerful helmet this early into Act 2, but it's too expensive to consider buying for the little boost it provides).

I prioritise curse and sleep protection on my characters, especially sleep for Hendrik whose attack remains the strongest (Sylvando can deal respectable damage unboosted with Gold Rush when he's not busy running support for the party). Curse inflicted on individual characters can have nasty effects like leaving them paralysed (halved max HP is easier to play around - Hendrik is more than bulky enough to take it) but Rab can be taught Benediction to remedy it when the need arises.

Sap on the boss is desirable as usual, but Restless Knight isn't that strong defensively and takes good damage from Hendrik's axe swings even without being debuffed. Not the case for the boss battle shown in the next video...
