Nunki Trial: Every Element Change & Absorption

What should you equip before entering?

Claim the Ancient Whip from Oblivion Palace Treasure Room 3, chest VI, after returning 84 Tablet Shards. Its Chamber of Arms trial restores Fire Birch.

Prepare access to Fire, Water, Wind, Ice and Earth across the party and reserves, plus Paralysis prevention and recovery. The component’s name and restored whip do not mean Fire works for the entire encounter.

Track the first-form sequence

Reinspect the target after each transition. The compared affinity records describe this progression:

Do not allow a queued Fire spell to continue healing the Water-weak stage, or a Wind command to heal the Ice-weak stage. The neutral stage requires effective nonabsorbed damage and preparation for Ultima and Meteor, rather than inventing another weakness.

Change to Earth for the later form

1. Confirm the major form transition and use Earth.
2. Keep the party healthy around repeated breaks: the first later stage can enrage after several Staggers.
3. Prepare recovery for Unbound Fangs and Paralysis from Shock Claw.
4. Maintain protection in the later escalation instead of assuming the same action count throughout.

No fixed HP percentages or guaranteed number of actions between changes is established here. The level-75 rematch awards Fire Birch+; recheck the actual enemy warnings for that difficulty and trial.
