Black World Tendency Events in Latria

• In Latria, it is impossible to go from 3-2 back to 3-1, without going by The Nexus. Most players will want to defeat both the NPC Black Phantom and the Primeval Demon in one go, to avoid achieving Black World Tendency more than once. It is therefore advisable to start from 3-1 and take out Black Phantom Lord Rydell first, then move into 3-2 to deal with the Primeval Demon.
• Sodden Ring (Remake only) Behind a pillar near Prisoner Horde in the depths of Upper Latria 3 - 2. Requires Pure Black World Tendency.
