Teleportation allows it to vanish from one spot to another and Advanced Heavy Stander prevents it from being stunned, knocked back or knocked down. Fortunately, the Grim Reaper possesses no Passive Defenses, meaning your attacks are not halted by the Reaper. To effectively defeat the Reaper, you must run around it while attacking. Using skills that halt you such as Magic or Alchemy may make you vulnerable to the Reaper's attacks.

If you have completed Generation 13 prior to the G17S4 renewal, you will receive a congratulatory quest for clearing Generation 13 and receive 40 Ability Points after completion of the quest. Completing this quest will also grant you access to the Anonymous sidequest. Upon completing this quest, the Dungeon Guide to teleport to Avon will become available under Erinn Martial Arts Competition, with a picture of Fleta in the background. This negates the need to wait on the Avon Feather's 5 minute cooldown.
