She will use Dual Gun Skills along with the following other skills: Dian's Trap: A multiple AoE attack that will Knockdown the player upon use. After 5 seconds, the attack drops meteor-like magic onto certain points of the map. They are indicated by a purplish-circle on the ground. Gold Dragon Roar Skill: Heart floats into the air, receiving immunity to all damage while she summons the Gold Dragon to cast Meteor on the battlefield.

Listen to Treasure Hunter's explanation to begin this stage of the mission. Head towards the six yellow pillars of light located around the Altar. The last location will be marked by a red cross-hair circle. You must outrun the Cessairs without the red circles on the floor catching up, otherwise the mission will fail. The green circles resets the cooldown of all your skills and grant you Way of the Gun duration. While useful, the brief animation may actually slow you down. Cessair Officer (Blue)), Wire Pulling Cessair Officer (Green), and Cessair Officer (Red) will spawn along the way. The blue robed Cessair Officers should be ignored as they do not attack the player. It is best to stay out of range of all the other enemies and go straight for each objective. Despite the game suggesting to use Shooting Rush, it is recommended not to use it, as due to the skill's functions Shooting Rush may frequently result in going the opposite direction. Using Shooting Rush may also lower frame rate. Lag may also cause the player to go in the opposite direction. For players with low frame rate, it is recommended to use the keyboard arrow keys to move around. Using skills and running across green circles is not advised as they may lower frame rate. The best way to beat this section is to kill any of the green/red robes along the way and walk to each point with haste. Talk to Merlin by Nemeton's top floor again. A cutscene will occur and you will enter the Shadow Mission, "The Tussle". Defeat the waves of Mutated Cessairs, Cessair Commander (Warrior)s and Cessair Commander (Mage)s until Merlin casts a yellow circle on the ground.
