Quick Answer

Beyond the Blue is Lid's character sub quest in Final Fantasy Resonance, available from Chapter 5. Start it by talking to the quest-marked man in Dilmagia's Shipyard, fetch blueprints from Mobliz Shipyard, then fight Typhon — a Level 35 Fairy boss with 75,000 HP that is weak to Ice. The catch: Typhon's Snort attack removes a party member from the fight entirely, and only a stagger cancels it — so this is a damage race you must win in roughly 7 turns. Rewards: 9,500 EXP, 10,000 gil, 135 MRP, an Elixir, the Chocobo Nitro accessory, and a permanent attribute boost for Lid (HP+100, MP+30, Strength+25, Magic+25).

Quest Overview

Every party member sub quest in Final Fantasy Resonance ends with a permanent attribute bonus for its hero — Beyond the Blue is Lid's, and it is one of the most combat-heavy of the eight.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Step 1 — Accept the Quest in Dilmagia

Travel to Dilmagia and head to the Shipyard area. Speak to the quest-marked man there — his story about ship blueprints triggers the quest. Lid recognizes the details, and the party agrees to help track them down.

Step 2 — Find the Blueprints at Mobliz Shipyard

Travel to Mobliz Shipyard and locate the blueprints inside the dungeon area. Clear the enemies, grab the blueprints, and return toward Dilmagia.

Step 3 — Report Back and Board the Airship

Return to the Dilmagia Shipyard and talk to the man again. The story advances to the airship, where you must speak to Evan — this triggers the boss encounter, so make sure your party is ready before boarding.

Step 4 — Beat Typhon

The fight begins immediately after talking to Evan. See the full boss strategy below — this is the hard wall of the quest.

Step 5 — Close Out the Quest

After the boss and a long cutscene, return to the Dilmagia Shipyard one final time and speak to the original quest-giver to complete Beyond the Blue and claim your rewards.

Typhon Boss Guide

The Snort Problem

Typhon's signature attack, Snort, removes the character it hits from the battle entirely — not a KO you can revive from, but a full removal. Its AI opens a five-action pattern with Snort whenever at least two party members are standing, then follows with Bite (80%) or Fira (20%) on each of the next four actions. The only defense is the stagger system: staggering Typhon cancels Snort. In practice this means you have roughly seven turns of safe damage before removals start snowballing your party down to a lone survivor.

Winning Strategy

1. Bring your strongest Ice attackers — Ice hits the weakness and builds stagger fastest. On Lasswell, Dawn Frost delivers 90 stagger on the weakness and Absolving Hailstorm (level 35) delivers 96.
2. Stack physical attack on Lasswell — IGN's recommended setup pairs Arms Akimbo with a physical attack-boosting Vision to turn him into the stagger engine.
3. Keep the stagger gauge moving — a staggered Typhon cannot Snort. Alternating Ice abilities between your Physical attackers keeps the gauge from recovering.
4. Heal ahead of FUNGAH! — Typhon casts FUNGAH! to raise its physical and magic attack by 50% for three turns. Pre-heal so the buffed Bites don't two-shot anyone.
5. Treat it as a damage race — most of Typhon's turns are plain Bite, which is manageable. The fight is only lost when Snort lands repeatedly. Speed beats caution here.
6. Know the solo rule — if you do lose members, Typhon's AI changes: it waits four actions after its attack buff before Snorting again. That window is your last chance to burst it down.

Quest Rewards

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Starting the fight underleveled — Typhon is Level 35; if your party averages below the mid-30s, grind before talking to Evan, because you cannot flee.
2. Bringing Wind damage — Wind is halved. Many players default to wind kits from earlier chapters; swap to Ice before boarding the airship.
3. Trying status ailments — Typhon is immune to ten status effects including poison, sleep, silence and instant death. Don't waste turns.
4. Ignoring the stagger gauge — damage alone wins the numbers race, but stagger is what cancels Snort. Pure burst without stagger tracking gets members removed.
5. Healing reactively instead of pre-healing — FUNGAH! doubles the threat for three turns; heal before it, not after the big Bite lands.
6. Skipping other sub quests — Lid's permanent +25 Strength/+25 Magic bonus is one of eight; completing all eight character quests earns the Conscience Renewed trophy.
7. Forgetting the final talk — the quest is not complete after the boss; you must return to the quest-giver at Dilmagia Shipyard to receive the Chocobo Nitro and attribute bonus.

FAQ

When does Beyond the Blue unlock in Final Fantasy Resonance?

Chapter 5. Before that point, Lid's sub quest does not appear at the Dilmagia Shipyard.

Where do I start Beyond the Blue?

Talk to the quest-marked man in the Shipyard area of Dilmagia. He starts the story about the missing blueprints that triggers the quest.

How do I beat Typhon in Beyond the Blue?

Win the damage race with Ice: Typhon is a Level 35 Fairy with 75,000 HP, weak to Ice and immune to most status effects. Its Snort removes a party member from the fight, and only staggering Typhon cancels it — so keep the 600-point stagger gauge moving with Ice abilities like Lasswell's Dawn Frost and Absolving Hailstorm, and aim to finish within about seven turns.

What rewards does Beyond the Blue give?

9,500 EXP, 10,000 gil, 135 MRP, an Elixir, the unique Chocobo Nitro accessory, and a permanent attribute boost for Lid: HP +100, MP +30, Strength +25, Magic +25.

Can I flee from the Typhon fight?

No. The battle cannot be escaped, so prepare your party — especially Ice loadouts and healing — before talking to Evan on the airship.

What happens if Typhon Snorts my whole party?

Snorted characters are removed, not killed. If only one member remains, Typhon changes pattern and waits four actions after its attack buff before Snorting again — a final window to deal bursting damage. If everyone is removed, the party wipes and you retry.

Do I need to complete all character sub quests?

No, but each of the eight party member sub quests ends with a permanent attribute bonus for its hero, and clearing all eight earns the "Conscience Renewed" trophy.
