Overall below average luck with rooms. Also one of the older VODs before a got a tad better at the game. Decided to equip Cockscomb because you sacrifice so much etheria skipping all of the enemies in the first zone. There are some interesting strats that lets you determine where the children are. See timestamps below.

Picked player Juju because mobility + equipment slots, partner Leon for good wave clear, and partner Fiel because he's anti-golem & you decent AoE wave clear at the stage section at the end.

Timestamps:
0:08 One of the kids will be spawned in the top left or the bottom left room, RNG chance. You can determine which room the kid is in by observing the minimap during the split second where it transitions from out of combat to in combat. The room that contains 2 green dots will indicate the room with the child.

1:06 In this room, the kid will either be in the first room or the third room. Using the same minimap trick, you'll notice that one of the green dots is farther back in the room than the others. This is the dot with the kid in the room. Got bad RNG here.

1:35 Spamming call ally is necessary here so that you can get out of combat as soon as possible for faster run speed.

1:50 The kid can spawn in either room. Use the same method, the kid is farther back. I opted to not free the kid because I know that I'll becoming back.

2:07 Unfortunately since you're still in combat, you cannot use the minimap trick so you'll need to resort to backup strats. The kid might either be in the leftmost or rightmost room. If you approach one of the doors and you can target an enemy, then you know that the child is in the other room. Another bad RNG.

2:34 I opted to not use forward knockback because it'll cause me to target the enemy right behind me. The camera flipped on me because I stood too close to the wall, lost a bit of time.

5:36 General boss strat, stand near the entrance since that'll buy you most time after the boss throws.
