How to farm
Before you go
- Select the Lv. 70+ challenge for the required material tier.
- Have Original Resin to claim the Trounce Blossom.
- The boss can be claimed once per weekly cycle.
- Travel to Unresolved Chess Game near Falcon Coast.
- Enter the domain and select a Lv. 70 or higher challenge.
- Defeat the King/Queen and complete the fight.
- Claim the Trounce Blossom with Original Resin.
- Check which Ascended Sample was awarded.
- If you own Dream Solvent and received another sample from this boss, go to an alchemy bench.
- Convert that sample to Knight if the same-boss recipe is available.
- Use the material in the target character’s level-up progression.
Farming tips
- Dream Solvent does not convert materials across different bosses.
- Plan around one weekly claim; repeating the fight without another claim does not provide a second reward.
Repeat, collect and use
One claim per weekly reset for this boss. Conversion is possible only with Dream Solvent and another compatible boss drop.
Common mistakes
- Choosing below Lv. 70: select the required challenge level.
- Expecting the Knight sample every claim: the weekly reward is variable.
- Converting a different boss’s material: use this boss’s own sample family.
When to stop or switch
Stop after the claim and any valid conversion; try again after the weekly reset if the material is still needed.
