The next two missions of this speedrun's segment promised to be really hard, but only the latter, The Big Find lived up to my expectations.

I actually managed to get a satisfactory time out of the first part of Scouring Time on my first attempt of this mission. Chroma Gem connected on just enough enemies and I could petrify more than a half of the enemy's team very quickly. By this time, I also noticed that it's almost impossible to perfectly finish a good speed run segment and there'll always be some annoyance that gets in your way at least at the end of the mission.

Soloing Babus was easy, as Blaze Robe protected Pally Marche from Babus's Explode, and Beatdown + Combo was enough to overkill him. Surprisingly, I had to reset like 10 times because Beatdown kept missing in spite of its okay 33% accuracy.

The Big Find was much tougher. We've got used to using a Bishop ourselves, but here we have two Bishops who can petrify us. Not a pleasant sight to see your own weapon used against you.

The enemies here are spread all over the field, and some of them are particularly hard to hit. The Bishops both can walk and act on water and the only way of reaching them would be casting Break. Knowing that they have Return Magic, we need good luck with Chroma Gem to succeed.

You may have also noticed that Marche is offensively the best unit in my party after the Exodus fruit engagement. He also has enough MP to use Holy Blade once.
